Spellsworn is a pretty good free to play PvP arena game that recently released

When watched characters seem unresponsive and slow. Enough for me not to try it. But I'm skeptic so probably not a target audience.

I was always sceptic with those promises. But now, after quite a few got broken, I will never again buy until the game's released and proven to work flawlessly.

I don't think I'll be replaying this one (it's looong) but it's nice they didn't release it as a separate product as some publishers tend to do.

Quoting: DrMcCoyThis was the game that was heavily dependant on real money purchases, right? You need to plop down real actual money for a lot, for a house, and then regularily to keep that house, the items you put in, on and around your house, etc pp
Yeah, pretty much. They liked the money model from original OSI and decided to multiply it by about... idk, 5x? ;)

Honestly, I gave Wurm Unlimited another shot and now I'm addicted. I think all your issues, Liam, were due to bad server. You already have a game client so I highly recommend trying the "1x Vanilla RPvEvP" server. You should be pleasantly surprised, community changes everything (UI is still quirky with contextual icons under "selected target" window but you can at least set key bindings for those icons now). I don't think anything will ever aspire to the amount of depth and complex mechanics (which are good) this game represents and I find it a better UO spiritual successor than anything I tried so far. So no, won't be checking out SoA unless I get it in some bundle, giveaway or obtain in some other accidental situation.

Quoting: voyageur[...] nice €/$ rate these days… [...]
Yeah, it's nice... until you've paid with card for 6 months subscription and want a refund because, oh I don't know, let's say you expected to be debited monthly. Then it turns out the spread on your currency is worth one month straight. Just a comment because bad experience, not arguing.

I used to think Humble Monthly was nice... but then it turned bad for Linux users... and then it turned just plain ugly. Now they want to lure me back in but I'm way better off buying individual titles straight from Steam where I can refund them if something's wrong.

Above said, I'll be pretty mad at myself if one of the unrevealed titles is Hollow Knight.

Quoting: GuestThat is a pretty awesome deal! :)

Was wondering if there is some place here on the site where we could post humble gift links for games we may have extra copies of?
There's steamgifts.com for that. You can set your giveaways to be only available for GOL Steam group members. Also there's steamtrades.com to exchange your doubles for games you don't have but TBH Liam could build a better website. :D

Grinder. Sluggish by design (slow running, etc). Unresponsive controls. Feels like a port from mobile. Low fps. High-res problems. Really bad interface. Made in Flash!? Can't even chat without 3rd party account. Unintuitive gameplay.
