There is a lot on my wishlist in the 5 € range right now, but nothing I need immediately so I did the rational thing and didn't buy anything. Too much to still play from my library and not enough time.

Anything decent actually on sale ?

Of those that are tagged RPG on GOG, I'd say Witcher 1/2/3, Outward, Vaporum, Mount&Blade Warband (no point in playing the original version) and Diablo are the decent ones.

In addition, I just bought Lords of the Fallen on GOG. Wanted to try that for a while, and it's a pretty good discount, so… can't judge that yet.

I thought outward was pretty bad. I almost purchased it but the reivews were really bad.

@you;

Hm... well I enjoyed it, certainly enough to call it "decent". I'd say, look at why the reviews rate it that way and see whether that fits to your own preferences or not.

Yea I always do that - seems the game is unfinished and very sparse - at least that is my understanding.... also klunky. In this day and age I don't understand why gamesa re klunky any longer given all the great interfaces available.

Yup, it certainly is klunky in terms of control and interfaces.

I know where "unfinished and sparse" is coming from, although I only partially agree with this evaluation. I guess I'd call it "raw and serene". :p
