it is lacking an endgame, tbh. im an x-series player myself, so i kinda look for empire building as an endgame thing.  this is more for people who just want to fight stuff and upgrade; your freelancer or elite players.

edit: it's got a great soundtrack tho, very space cowboy, a lot like firefly

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

It is shallow, with very strong feeling of on-rails progression (this area has max lvl 2-3 enemies; work your level to lvl 3 ship; move to next area; this area has lvl 3-4 enemies...), and does indeed get old fast. But the few hours I put in before I got bored - I do remember fondly and don't regret the purchase.

It also lacks a mid game. Buy the OST and maybe put money towards X4.

Can't you just find the OST on Youtube and go to one of those sites where you can download it as an mp3 file?

That's, uh, what I heard, anyway.

It's shallow, that's the biggest problem.  With more game mechanics it wouls have been better. Maybe something like Starpoint Gemini Warlocks? (Then again I must confess I was never able to truly get engaged by any of the starpoint gemini games... unwieldy controls, lots of time just travelling through nowhere

If you already know which game you want, I recommend https://isthereanydeal.com/ to find if there is a current sale, or if the game is regularly on sale on a website.

Arcen's games are all massively on sale on Steam to celebrate the release of its new game, AI War 2.

These games include:

Bionic Dues:  $1.99 down from $9.99.

Mecha Roguelike - Switch between up to four mechs and utilize their stats and weapons to complete missions throughout the city, all to prepare yourself for a final battle once the days remaining reach zero.

Starward Rogue: $2.39, down from $11.99.

Basically Binding of Isaac but with more of a bullet hell twist, with several concessions to ensure you're not quite going PICHUUN right out of the gate. You start levels with shields, you have multiple weapons (including a primary, a secondary, a missile/explosive, and certain usable items), you can pick several different characters all suited to different playstyles (including one that's literally SUPERHOT but as a top-down bullet hell shooter).

You can also pay $4.60 instead to get the base game alongside the AUGMENTED DLC, which adds a lot more stuff (floors, enemies, rooms, obstacles, bosses, items, and characters).

AI War: Fleet Command: $1.99, down from $9.99.

Very complex Real-time Strategy game with a unique element - "AI Progress". This is a measure of how big a threat the AI Considers you to be - increasing as you destroy assets, take control of other areas, and in general move close and closer to victory. If this grows too large, the AI will do its damnedest to destroy you - and you don't want that.

You can also pay $3.39 instead, to get the base game and all its DLC - which adds several new races, techs, scenarios, and AI behavior patterns.

The Last Federation: $3.99, down from $19.99.

You play as the last of your species - with your goal being to unify the other 8 races of your planet through any means necessary. There's also a turn-based bullet hell combat system similar to that of Stormwinds or Darkwind: War On Wheels in that you input your commands and then see how things play out.

You can also pay $4.99 instead, to get not only the full game but its 2 DLCs -

* Betrayed Hope adds Betrayal Mode, where your objective is to destroy everyone, and Invasion Mode, where one race has been destroyed by an invading civilzation, and the player must unify the others to push them out.
* The Lost Technologies, where every single race gets unique techs to set them apart from each other, among other things. Also adds a game mode where the major focus is on technology, rather than destruction or unity.

Also, Running With Rifles (Top-down Open World shooter where allies, enemies, and yourself can all die from just one bullet) is on sale on Steam for $4.49, down from $14.49.

I'd describe RWR as being like ARMA but streamlined in many ways, but as I've never played ARMA (Except a little bit of ARMA Cold War Assault), I don't know how accurate that description would be.

EDIT: Also, Road Remption (Road-Like where you either shoot your foes or beat at them with shit) and Killing Floor 2 (COD: Zombies but it's actually good and also has RPG elements) are both $9.99 each as part of some promotion where the two get content from each other.

Also, Hitman Games are on sale on Steam, presumably to celebrate the relase of HITMAN 2: No Subtitle - which itself is...

Full price at $59.99.

Also, Fallout 4 GOTY is $29.99 down from $59.99.

Shoot people with guns that never jam or break, mod the shit out of your weapons of choice, build more settlements because they need your help, slowly grow from someone who's average in all areas at best into someone who's basically a legend, and keep searching for your lost son because your Water Chip GECK Dad Package now has to be associated with the "bad guys" this time.

Probably plenty of other games out there on sale that are worth looking at.

I will +1 both Killing Floor 2 and Road Redemption. (Both published by Tripwire.) Both are, admittedly, somewhat mindless games when you boil them down. But they're 100% about action and both do it very well. Addictively, I might say, depending on whether or not the styles click with you. Road Redemption is perhaps a little rough in some places, but Killing Floor 2 is a very polished game, in terms of graphics, performance and features. Watching 4 to 10 zombies explode at once in slow motion, being able to watch each individual body part, from hands to eyeballs, sail through the air, will never, ever get old for me. After probably 700 hours between it and its predecessor it still never fails to make me cackle. Somewhat the same story with Road Redemption: it's cackle-worthy mayhem and violence and neither game takes itself too seriously.

Sale for Fallout New Vegas. It's now $4.99 down from $9.99.

Patrol the Mojave, belong on a cross, and decide the fate of a major city in Post-War Nevada.

You can also purchase the Ultimate Edition for $11.99 down from $19.99 instead, which features all the DLC.

Help or hurt postwar tribals, explore an extremely shitty casino and villa where literally everything is trying to kill you, wander a lab managed by a bunch of deranged brains in tanks, confront extremely edgy former Legion boi, and start the game off with a good bunch of equipment that might cause you to become overencumbered right off of the bat.

Which you even get in Survival mode.  Not *quite* saving you from thirst through your playthrough, but coming pretty close.

I-I posted about that on the last page. Even provided brief summaries on each game :(

Still though, most of the games are so heavily discounted they’re less than 5 USD a piece. Should be worth a try, at least, right?
