i'm sort of interested in the witness and prey, but not enough to spend 20 bucks on either one. are there any good laptop games on sale?
depends on what genres youre into.
since ive been like 7 years behind the curve when it comes to technology for the entirety of my life almost everything here could be considered a laptop game

the prices are from the previous sale so be wary

don’t buy Prey. even at 20 i would rather have a semi-premium 12-pack than this game.

actually prey is really good. worthy successor to system shock 2 in every way except for not being scary.

i wasnt a huge fan of the first one but heard nothing but good poo poo about the second. im still rerunning hollowknight all the time though for my metroid fix

I wasn't super into 1 either but 2 is wayyyy better. The first game was basically all about digging but in 2 the digging is just basic traversal/exploration to find new puzzles and platforming challenges. It's also very charming with good music and a neat aesthetic

I like Dig 2 because there are enemies but combat is so not the focus of the game, which I often find is the weakest part of Metroidvanias. It's 95% exploration and puzzle solving which is what I actually want out of that genre more than a fleet of bosses that you can just tank and hold the attack button down for. It also has the best movement out of any of those games

Did you finish it yet? The last boss is real cool and integrates digging and navigating through the room in way that works really well

Yeah I finished it yesterday and it was a good boss fight partly due to the fact that it's the only one in the game

There are two others but they were so forgettable I'm having trouble describing them. I think one was a mutant or something, or maybe just green.
