EGS is really convenient for me. I'm already not playing the games I own I might as well not be paying for them either.

As long as it isn't "everything" again. I'm getting tired of the "everything is on sale" tweets and notifications.

I think I said this last week, but Lion's Song is really lovely and surprisingly poignant. If you want a point n click, it's well worth your time.

So I played Episode 1 and while the art and music are lovely, this seems more like an interactive picture book than an adventure game?

Like at no point do you need to solve a puzzle in the whole episode, just click on things to advance the story.

Ah right, I didn't mean to mischaracterize it as a full on adventure game like Monkey Island or something. It's mainly narrative-driven, more like a Telltale game.

This is rad, thank you.

Also the dude in that video has the strangest accent I've heard in a while. It's something like a mix of South African and southern American with a little bit of microsoft sam in there.

For a brief, hopeful second i thought this might be a game i briefly played as a kid on my dads computer. It was a game in very early 3d where you had a tank/buggy which could transform into a plane, and you drove around picking up little blue people to save then. In the end you flew them through a ring. Is there a lost games thread somewhere? I've found almost all of my lost childhood memories but this one eludes me.

NBA 2K has some grindy progression and for, some game modes, annoying monetization, and it has endless loading screens but the core game itself isn't really buggy or lacking polish.
