I just finished playing through The Forgotten City, and certainly enjoyed it.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands looks like it could be fun, but I note with interest that all of the DLC is very negatively reviewed.

Deceive Inc looks like it could be fun if I were into online multiplayer, but I'm not. The rest doesn't look all that interesting, so ...

QuoteTTW is probably the sole game you may want to buy this bundle for

... this seems accurate for me.

Is it just me, or does the first screenshot from the 6th game:

Look an awful lot like the first screenshot from the 1st game?

They certainly like to keep busy and try out different things. I enjoyed Encodya and got Clunky Hero as well because of that, but still haven't gotten around to trying it out. At least Three Minutes to Eight looks closer to the adventure game genre they started with.

Quoting: anewsonthe ill-fated Daedalic (of Gollum fame)

I see the reviews on Gollum are terrible, but Daedalic has put out lots of nice games previously. Did Gollum take them out?

Edit: Probably not, as they have lots of upcoming games listed (including a sim in the Deponia universe):

Quoting: KlaasIs it me or is it a bit too early for Tyrant's Blessing to be in a bundle?

Looks like it's just a coupon for a discount on it.

Hmm... pretty sure I played this demo a few years ago. I guess they have been on hiatus?

Nice bundle, but I already have all the games - except for MythForce, obviously. And I don't see that listed at all on the bundle page; was that only there briefly? Or is it a regional thing?

Also, Beamdog has been a great supporter of Linux for their games; I wonder why there's no Linux build of MythForce? The publisher (Aspyr) has historically been supportive as well, although it's been a while for them...

Quoting: benstor214Between the requirement of always having to be online and having to manually invoke the keyboard, I would say the developers are overly optimistic regarding the outcome of the verification process.

Maybe they just want to be officially listed as Playable? That certainly looks better than Untested or Unsupported.

Watched the trailer, and my first thought was: if all the superheroes turned into monsters, and now you are taking their powers, what's to stop you from turning into monsters also?

QuoteEpic Games accounts will no longer get logged out when launching Heroic sometimes

It was logged out when I first launched the new version. Maybe that will be the last time? :-D

QuoteProtonDB & Steam Deck compatibility on game page

Pretty slick, but at first I thought it didn't work. Maybe it doesn't show for games that have a native Linux version, or maybe the game name ">observer_" breaks the code because it's not escaped (I have it from both Epic and Amazon, and it's sorted to the top because of the name, so of course it's the first one I tried). Checking... yep, works fine for the Amnesia games, so probably lack of escaping the funky characters in the title.

Would be cool if the Steam Deck compatibility could show the popup info that shows on the Steam website; i.e. "have to manually open on-screen keyboard sometimes" and "uses wrong controller glyphs" type of notes.

QuoteAmazon Games Support

I let my Prime subscription lapse a couple years ago, but nice to see all the stuff I mindlessly claimed in the past is all still there! 206 games, surprisingly. Having this support makes it slightly more likely I will pay for Prime again.

QuoteLibre engines are planned too.

Something akin to Luxtorpeda, I hope! Roberta and Boxtron are nice too; the biggest issue with these in Steam is that you have to know what games are supported, and explicitly set them to be used. If Heroic automatically gave the option because it could match up the games, that would be very nice.

Quoteyou can now run streaming services like Netflix, AppleTV, and Crunchyroll

By way of browsing to them in the built-in browser, or is there some other feature I'm missing? Edit: I guess that's the "Add Game" / "side loading" feature added in the prior version. Question: is there any advantage over loading in a normal browser?
