The graphics, flight mechanics and sound are all polished – resulting in a game that you can play at your desk or on the big screen with full controller support. The game includes crafting, fighting, and exploring a well detailed universe. Whilst not exactly a space simulation and more of a rogue space shooter, EVERSPACE is an attractive game with lots to offer.
2017 steam sale upgrade#
With Star Citizen still going along in development, there are a couple of alternatives that might tide you over – especially if you are looking to upgrade closer to the launch of Star Citizen….whenever that may be. Skyrim Special Edition is currently 50% off and can be bought for $19.97 which is great value when you look at the sheer volume of content, replay potential and consider that it is one of the most decorated games available.Ĭheck out The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition here Space Sims

The graphics, sound and map/location design all combine to create an extremely immersive world to explore, loot and interact with. Skyrim is an epic fantasy game where you can create and develop your character to suit your preferred style of game play. This was all before the improved Special Edition came out in late 2016. According to Steam, I’ve spent more than 245 hours playing it. The base game is a good buy when on special but have a look at the expansion packs and complete edition as well.Ĭheck out The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion at the Steam store hereĮlder Scrolls V: Skyrim was the first game that I ever pre-ordered. Turn based strategy at its best and Civilization V is probably one of the best Civilization games in the series. You can grab this one at 75% off for $2.48 which is one of the best bargains on Steam.Ĭheck it out at the Steam store here Civilization V This was a lot of fun and I put some serious hours into this game back in the early 2000’s. It is easier to keep your team alive for the duration of a play through if you build your team with different specialist roles and execute each encounter with tactical formations and use the crawling, kneeling standing stances sensibly. The nuclear wasteland setting is full of danger from mutants, other humans, robots and beasts.Īs you undertake missions, you need to balance stealth with a carefully selected fire team. Each squad member can be hired, fired and levelled up. You can kit out each soldier in your squad, loot bodies for weapons, health, armour and ammunition. It’s a real-time squad based strategy game that uses action points to balance the activity. I bought this one as a 3 CD pack many years ago but then bought it again via Steam for convenience and nostalgia. Let’s lead off with strategy titles to get things going, starting with some nostalgic games that were awesome back in their day and still represent good value in either their original or a remastered state. The following recommendations come with the caveat of “check the classification, check the Steam user reviews and check the system requirements.” Also, the prices are in USD as per the Steam store. At the start of each major sale it’s a good idea to set your wish list and budget. In recent years Steam has made it easier by simply having a bunch of deals that are available for the entire sale. In the past we used to have flash deals that were only good for a number of hours, then there were daily deals and there were other deals that would last the whole sale period. Whilst Steam has a number of sales throughout the year the Christmas/Winter sale is the one that I look forward to the most. With the Christmas period upon us the end of year Steam sales are now here.
