Not picked up #BLUD yet. It's on the list but the reviews didn't make it look like an instant purchase (though my money's going on the Taylor Swift trip tomorrow)

Just be warned that while the mouse itself is comfortable, the software is... Yeah. Pretty poor. And the mouse has no onboard memory or binding backup so be prepared to either not install the software once you reinstall Windows, or alternatively, reinstall the software and be forced to rebind everything.
...oh no...

My CK-like attention is aimed at the CK/RimWorld hybrid Norland, dropping next month.
I bought it from Humble but it's held up for additional checks! :(
Have fun! My gf is off to the London date on Sunday and is stoked!
Jesus Anger Foot, Flock, Flintlock, and Schim are all potential day 1 buys. Being an indie game fan continues to be an absolute feast.
games that I have on my watch list for july that aren't on the list are

Lost Castle 1 was fun so I'm hoping 2 is as well

new game from the growing up people which was fairly well made
and the one that I'm mostly just curious how it turns out.

The Life is Strange Double Exposure trailer music, nice.
Giving Valve credit where it's due, I remember when Steam was always about waiting for the next quarterly sale and now it feels like we're always just a week or so away from the next sale or "fest". It's been pretty good to be a PC gamer lately.
game is a real treat and does not overstay it's welcome. Lovely little gem.
It was a release date for the Beyond Good & Evil remaster.

Looking at some of the new Steam sales (not THE Summer sale, just smaller fry like a Klei publisher sale), I noticed this:
store.steampowered.com
As far as I can tell this is a historical low for Invisible Inc., AND it includes DLC! Finally I can kick this one off my wishlist and into my library.

Yo BG&E remaster in FIVE days wooh. Had some other cool stuff, Fear Effect and old Hitman remaster, Bubsy, Tomba 2, Shantae Advance, Gex trilogy. Also Ninja Five-0, didn't expect that one lol but it was a nice GBA game back in the day.
Weird it got deleted. It's back up now.

Beyond Good and Evil Remaster available on PC on June 25th. Can't see any mention of Steam alas.

Clearly the biggest Steam release today, uguu.
Finally, free weekend, time to give another paradox game a try
View: https://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/Stellaris/
One thing I learned during Hearts of Iron 4 free weekend was that the tutorial sucks for all Paradox games. I uninstalled it after 30min because I had no idea what I was doing.
I'll watch some youtube vids first to know a thing or 2 before starting and hope I have better luck with this one since I love sci fi.

As if that game's ever coming out, why would you remind people lol
Breachway is I believe 100% for July, just doesn't have a fixed date yet.

Wokers and Resources 1.0 is now live. I'm neck deep in 100+ hour affairs (Rogutech relapse) and won't dig myself out of them for months, but I read this RPS review that came across really well. Notably, the concept of the game as an infrastructure builder and simulation of developing a region vs. using all the kind of abstractions that usually go into the genre.

Just bought Dead Island 2 because it was on sale. Anyone got some impressions of that game?
I liked the setting of the first one and was planning to play it in co-op with some buddies.
Also can't believe the Wukong game will be releasing in two months. Hype!
Edit: Rift of the Necrodancer also looks dope as hell. Too many great games coming out. 😩

Awesome!
Absolutely loved Necrodancer, so jumped right on the demo for this.
Played the first song on medium, and was kind of "bleh", but I figured, "hey, they might make it more interesting on harder difficulties, and dear god, do they. It's amazing how they incorporated the Necrodancer feel of having to think about the ways different monsters move into a more standard rhythm game, which makes things turn into an absolute clusterfuck (in the best way) when you have to start parsing all that into song patterns in the harder difficulties.
Either way, this went from a mild curiosity to almost certainly a day-1 purchase for me, now.
I enjoyed what I played of DI2, but there's some missions that are clearly designed for co-op that you have to cheese on solo. The group finder finds the same AFK player each time I've tried it and I've no idea how to block them to (hopefully) find someone else.
I see they're still pumping out content for that game, which I guess makes sense since they have a subscription for all content.
This is my favorite 4x, but I've never bought any DLC outside of bundles.
I can finally finish this game? The original is basically broken.
If the price isn't too high and they offer a discount for owners of the previous version I might grab it with Riven that day.
Man I learned how consumer friendly Steam is compared to other stores.
I played Elden Ring on PS5 and wanted to buy the DLC. So I went to the store bought the DLC and didn't get any warnings or errors. I started the game but couldn't go to the DLC zone. Looked around a bit and then I remembered. Elden Ring was bought on my brothers account and not on mine. So that means I was able to buy a 40€ DLC without any warning that the original game wasn't in my account. How is this legal? I asked for a refund but they will probably decline that because I dowloaded it ofc.

I liked it a lot. Gameplay can be a bit monotonous, but the weapon variety helps keep zombie smashing fun throughout the game. The DLC areas are very good as well.
The levels are all incredible. For me the environments were the real star of the show. Gorgeous game.
My only big gripe is that the main story stops abruptly just when it is starting to get really interesting. That was a kick in the nuts. The campaign has a good length, it just ends in the worst way.
So, for some reason, I cannot load my pre-DLC Elden Ring save file. Looks like I'm gonna have to use a trainer to turn on one-hit kills and go through the base game again. Should be good a "Previously on Elden Ring" experience I guess.
The fact that there is probably someone playing ETS while being passanger in a real truck is quiet amazing.
Thank God for EldenRing Save Manager. It just saved my lvl 162 character.
Now, to figure out how to actually play again lol

Was extremely impressed at the start of the game, but the more the combat ramped up the less I enjoyed it so I ended up quitting the game relatively early.
