Silent Hill, Baldur’s Gate & more retro PC games are up to 91% off
The latest Good Old Games sale brings a slew of old titles with big fat discounts attached, including old favorites.
Good Old Games, or GOG, is running its own sale to coincide with the start of the Chinese New Year. Lasting for another six days, the sale pulls in hundreds of games from across the website with some steep discounts.
For those coming off of Baldur’s Gate 3, the second entry’s Enhanced Edition is now just $3, which is a lot of game for less than a coffee.
The usual affair of titles that we’ve seen from the last few sales aren’t really present. This is great, as we can explore some other titles we’ve not yet seen be brought to the limelight.
This includes John Woo’s third-person shooter Stranglehold. The 360-era shooter combines elements from contemporaries at the time – like Max Payne – with Woo’s particular blend of style.
GOG is also discounting some more recent titles too, so not everything is entirely retro. The benefit to buying through GOG over say, Steam, is that the games are DRM-free. You’ll be able to access and install them wherever, however you like.
Batman: Arkham Knight and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are excellent recommendations now that they’re circling the five bucks mark. It’s also best not to think that these games are nearly a decade old at this point.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a deals round-up without some recommendations.
GOG Year of the Dragon sale cuts up to 91% off hundreds of games
Good Old Games is filled to the brim with classic titles that you might have missed. From more mainstream options like Baldur’s Gate 2 to Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, you can probably find something you like.
The strangest Silent Hill game is just $7
While not the biggest saving, Silent Hill 4: The Room is one of the weirder entries in the series. Rather than being trapped in the town of Silent Hill, you’re stuck in the titular room. The only way out is through a hole in the wall, that takes you into a nightmarish situation of survival.
It plays and feels a little different from other Silent Hill games. As much as Konami claims the game was always intended to be part of the series, it fits into its own groove, rather than the series’ established vibe.
By no means is the game bad, it’s actually quite a lot of fun to see how it slowly unravels itself to the player over the duration.
Incredibly convoluted game E.Y.E gets 69% off
E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is potentially one of the worst games to learn by playing the game. It does a terrible job of explaining itself, and it’s riddled with weirdness. However, it’s an intricate and expansive experience that you shouldn’t deny yourself.
It’s a fairly traditional first-person shooter with RPG mechanics at its core, but the way it extrapolates the concept is where it shines. It’s just so downright challenging to get to grips with if you go in blind that it can be a turn-off.
Going in with a guide can instantly turn that around. It’s got these immaculate cyberpunk dystopian vibes that have rarely been matched. It’s so unique in how it presents itself, that it’s a shame it never caught on when it originally launched.
Perhaps that’s down to its convoluted nature.
