Hm, quite a few games on sale on GoG that fall outside the flash sales and such, too... I see Planescape Torment for $4.99. I have had many, many people suggest that game... Should I just buy it or hope for a better deal later in the sale?
Also looking for any other recommendations for games to grab that are on sale.
PST will be available for cheaper at some point, unless perhaps it already has been? I am not really sure, I don't pay much attention to gog beyond grabbing their free giveaway stuff. Anyways PST is a gem. The combat in the game ain't so great, so the game is much more about dialogue and story. Thankfully the story & dialogues are so excellent! It is one of a handful of classic games that are so damn good that
everyone with an interest in PC video games should try them IMO. And when you are done with it you can have a good laugh (or a good cry) over how far the RPG genre has fallen in the 15 years since Torment came out
As for other game recommendations, there are almost too many and I don't know what you have played already... If we are sticking to PST level
must-play games then here's 10 on top of Torment
Thief 1 & 2 - kings of stealth games and games in general really
System Shock 2 - along with its predecessor (which isn't on GoG but is freely available on the net), the king of FPS/RPG hybrids
Deus Ex 1 - another FPS/RPG hybrid, every time you mention it someone reinstalls it
Blood 1 - more serious than Duke3d & Shadow Warrior (both of which are also great), classic FPS
Alpha Centauri - Civilization but better
Master of Orion 1 & 2 - kings of space 4x games
Jagged Alliance 2 - Strategy/RPG hybrid, king of squad tactics games
Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2 - kings of demonic enslavement simulation games
Wizardry 6, 7, & 8 - kings of dungeon crawler RPGs
Quest for Glory - kings of Adventure/RPG hybrids
yeah ok that's really more than 10, sue me
