PSA: Game Discounts

[Syt]

I'll rather stick with PC Gamer's weekly "Five new Steam games you probably missed this week" for games inspiration.

[Arvoreen]

GOG has No-Man's Sky on sale (1-day only as far as I can see) for 40% off: https://www.gog.com/game/no_mans_sky
Is it worth the $36?

[Habbaku]

Nope.

[Syt]

Not really, no.

Everything


But if I have to single out one, if you feel like counter-pushing wargaming, Decisive Campaigns Barbarossa is a very unique one. Probably the most authentic out there when it comes to feeling like an officer in command of a campaign.

And Qvadriga. Everyone should own Qvadriga.

I picked up the Sendoku Jidai bundle on which I had had my eyes for a while, and the Warhammer Panzer General style bundle.

I will give kudos to Slitherine - the games are discounted, and if you get a bundle, you will get another discount off the reduced prices.

Biggest discount is probably on Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations WOTY, 66% off to EUR 25.15 (and most modern what if scenarios also discounted).

So, if your idea of fun looks like the below screenshots, this might be a good opportunity:

I got them both

Is the "v" in Qvadriga pronounced as a "u"?

Yes

On Command: it is actually quite easy to handle, when it comes to the basics and the UI. The complexity comes from the fact it is a hardcore simulation (heck, there is a professional version now sold to, uhm, organisations), and if you want to play well you need to have at least some idea about the equipment and tactics involved.

But if you do know your thermal layers from your SEAD weaponry (or willing to read a lot of the in-game database), it offers fascinating flexibility. A bit like how the Operational Art of War covers a lot of conflicts and has an event engine. It is similar here.

I mean, in how many other games do you have the chance to fail in sneaking up on some Russian subs south of Cuba in the 70s in one scenario, do a poor job in organising an Iraqi airstrike against Iran in the next, and then recreate the failings of the Pakistani navy in their first "victory" (according to the scenario description, historically they destroyed about 3 mud huts) against India?
