A Chore
Why my wallet is empty (AKA Steam Sale):
Papers, Please
DuckTales Remastered
Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons
Reus
Civilization V
I’ve never played multiplayer Civ but it’s actually a lot fun to play with friends. Except when they take forever to take their turn! It’s hard to explain why Papers, Please is so much fun, but it is. Reus is interesting and it reminds me a lot of the Black and White games, but I lost interest in it kinda quickly for some reason. The other games I haven’t played yet! Actually, I think I still have games from the LAST Steam Sale that I haven’t played yet!
Because of the one guy who hands in a passport written in crayon.
That guy is hilarious. And he keeps coming back! The game just has so much more depth and quality than you’d first assume and I love it.
Civ V multiplayer is actually a little bit better since they offer hybrid and simultaneous turn orders, which can speed up the game, but they still can take forever, just last week I had a 7 hour game that we never actually finished, and that was just a 1v1 with 4 city states. I just got Natural Selection 2 on the steam sale and have been putting a TON of hours into that lately, the multiplayer on that is gorgeous and the game itself is a nice mix of TF2 and Starcraft.
Now I have to go check out that game because that sounds amazing.
