99% probability it's Eternity because for all I know Path of Exile is pay2win so you don't buy that one.

But pillars wasn't goty material. I mean it was ok but not that great.

Wolfenstein : New Order & Old Blood. Cheap as chips.

Well, it has an expansion. So naturally it has to have a goty edition

Could you tell me a bit about it ? How does it play ?

As it says on the box it's a rogue like dungeon crawl where moving to the beat of the music helps you get more gold and succeed more easily. You can use the stock music (which is pretty good) or add your own, obviously something with a reasonably steady beat seems best. Most the monsters move in certain patterns so learning those and moving appropriately helps to keep you alive. Art style is cartoony which fits the up beat, disco kind of feel of the game.

I think it's pretty fun. I defeated the first boss after about 20 or 30 games and it said I won the game. The boss appeared after I completed 3 levels I think it was. So far most games last about 10 minutes. Not sure what's next and if that duration will get longer, I would assume so as by defeating the boss I got more of the story and unlocked a new character. I'm finding it's good for when you want a quick game that you have to concentrate on but don't really need to invest yourself in. The move the beat mechanic leads you into making quick decisions so it does require focus. Being a rogue like you die a lot but it's not full of complicated gameplay mechanics like many traditional turn based RL's.

I got it for a couple of dollars and I feel like I've already got my money's worth.

I'm not sure POE is the game KaosWarMonk is talking about. I mean it isn't a rouge dungeon crawler. Perhaps path of exile ?

My last purchase was the LOTRO Mordor Expansion Collector's Edition

Well, in my case - although I'm not a ChaosMonk at all, I must say - I did indeed mean "Pillars Of Eternity". Edgar Allan Poe is an interesting read, by the way, some of his stories not at all horror ! Try out The Gold Bug !

In the meantime, "Poe" has become the first name of a starship pilot in Star Wars Episode VII …

Okay, it's on my mental "buy" list now.

For all you know indeed, Path of Exile is the furthest removed from pay to win you can get in a free to play game.

You think joxer cares about minor points like reality?

In joxer-land, multiplayer = MMO and cosmetics = win.

Stop eating just cream in a cake without thinking who's win it is.

In joxer-land microtransactions are fraud. Build from there.
Or return to Diablo 3 auctions for all I care.

Not an RPG, but I picked up theHunter: Call of the Wild. A beautiful virtual natural environment they have created. Not for everyone, I'm sure, but very pleasant and relaxing, if you can forgive a few bugs and you're in the right frame of mind for it.

Edit: You might like it, Alrik. Man, could you take some pretty screenshots in this one.

AoM. Releases tomorrow:

Diablo II (I know 17 years late). Got the boxed addition including the LoD expansion (with battle.net keys included).

Was intrigued when Dart described Diablo II in a Dark Souls thread showing common mechanics between the two. Indeed there are and I am enjoying the skills, stats, level design, randomness, stash management, rouge like aspects, monster and enemy variety, voice overs and even story. Updated last year with version 1.14b and works like a dream on my old laptop.

Playing as a ranged Necromancer (I don't like to party alone!) with an army of skeletons and Golems so far. Brilliant stuff.

I see nothing there for my taste. It's all Flash based trash to me. But as they say, one man's garbage is another man's treasure.

No Man's Sky.

Just tried the Piñata on GoG, paid £2.39 and what a surprise - I got Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles (which is currently worth £17.29).

Brilliant, I was interested in this game before and now got it! Thanks GoG.

Thinking of ME:A (for $20) or Prey (for $30). Not sure either are worth it…

Fall of the Dungeon Guardians - Enhanced.
