Somebody needs to gift this one to @
It is Marlow motherfucking Briggs! FOR A SINGLE BUCK! Buy it. 
If you'd like to check out Larian's other games before buying into Divinity: Original Sin, go ahead. Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity and Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga are all 80% off. You can pick the ones you want, the savings are the same.
This is a Parody Platformer. Short, but sweet (or bitter).
You like puzzle games? This bundle includes three of those, all good.
One day I'll 100% this!
Two Parody JRPGs, one featuring Cthulhu as the Hero. its 0,59€ / $.89 - buy it.
This currently costs 19 cent in Europe, 29 cent in the US. Buy it, its dirt cheap and actually a cool concept.
I almost 100%ed this. Good puzzle platformer, needs some thinking and precision, very neat game, especially for half a dollar/euro.
Remember Dwarf Fortress and the likes? This is a bit like it. The devs have been patching this frequently, expanding on gameplay features, introducing new items, mechanics etc. I've been playing this for what seems like ages. I've had my gnomes' heads chopped off by goblin raiders, and mants have killed many more. There are still some performance issues late-game, when your population grows massive, but heck, I had my fun for almost 200 hours since I picked it up. Woop.
This is a humorous endless runner. The devs have decided to not make it for mobile and instead go to PC, and it benefitted from that. It is, of course, simple in its mechanics, though not easy to master. RR already has a work-in-progress Adventure Mode, which is the reason why it is in Early Access to begin with. The Story Mode is finished, there are Endless Modes... Yeah, its nice and cheap.
This is free for owners of the old Serious Sam Classic versions. It is mostly feature complete, but still goes through polishing. This is a reimagining of the old SS games, with new levels, updates, all in a new engine, and there'll be a new "Revolution!" campaign. If you've never played SS, this might be worth your while
The singleplayer of this metroidvania dungeon adventure parody game is finished. The thing thats still being worked on is the Multiplayer/Coop. It is fun, difficult and funny.
This one was originally a Kickstarter game, and its shaping up nicely. A very unique artstyle mixed with a diablo-rts-like gameplay system that reminds me of Overlord. It's got humor, wicked amounts of style, and they're listening very closely to player feedback.
This is a simulation with a very distinctive topdown 2D style. It gets updated frequently, but is not feature complete by any means. If you enjoy builder/manager games, you might enjoy this.
This is being published by Devolver Digital, and thus trustworthy as fuck. Its also hilariously fun. They're introducing new Bros to play as frequently.
I have not played this yet. However, it is a dungeon crawler rogue like experience that is unfolding well. This is being developed by Amplitude, who have won me over with their VERY open and interactive Early Access approach with Endless Space, two years ago. It shaped up really well, and community involvement was strong (up to faction design contests - design notes, background, specializations, all of that). They're trustworthy.
Same as with Dungeon of the Endless. However, this one is a turn based strategy game based around hexes. Think Civilization, in more creative and with better design.
One thing I can definitely say about Amplitude is that their interface design is really clean and intuitive, which is especially important for 4X games like this.
As said on the OP, this game is shaping up as a serious candidate for Best RPG of 2014. It is ambitious, full of love for detail, freedom and great storytelling, paired with really good mechanics. It also leaves Early Access in a mere 10 more days. Pick it up.
Don't grab this, they're not bothering with a good PC port, locked at 30fps, and the game lost its charme. Let Capcom keep their shit, and they're happy to bring exclusive DLC to Xbox One anyway.
Ahahahaha the BALLS to put an Early Access game, in Alpha, on sale at 15% off. This game won't be done for two more years at the very least, and won't leave Alpha until the end of the year at the earliest - when the original creator is jumping off the project. Figures. If you buy this you're a moron.
Yes, this is Early Access, but the game is coming out officially in 10 days, on June 30. The game is solid, very very solid, I love it, I want to have its children, but I think @
Good game, yes, and the new DLC is 20% off as well. Klei also did the excellent Mark of the Ninja, and are very dedicated at updating Don't Starve with new content very frequently
.
Buggy, at times frustrating, but solid. The Expansion is recommended, but only 67% off. The spinoff Third Person Shooter The Bureau is 80% off, might be worth at that. 
Good simulation about leading a country to ruin. I streamed this for CL once, and was voted out of office... Juggling budgets while trying to be all eco friendly sucked.
Buy this so hard, buy it buy it buy it. The game is fantastic, its cheap as hell and the devs are very dedicated to their customers. This price is robbery.
Highly flawed RPG. Can't really recommend it at this price.
Meh. Wait til the whole season is out, I think there are one or two more episodes missing. The price will fall further afterwards, and buying now only means you're gonna wait for the resolution anyway.
If you have a gamepad, you may consider this. Mouse and Keyboard controls are arse. Runs at 60fps, but is a PS3 port, not the superior PS4 version. Online Play was not implemented, only local splitscreen coop. Can't recommend it at this price.
Not impressed by the discount, fun for the first few hours, but gets tedious quickly.
Who needs this zombie junk....
Early Access. Even on sale 10 times more expensive than the iOS version (which has less content, though). Can't recommend, too expensive, too unfinished.
Fuck The Chinese Room. They don't get horror, and turned Frictional's franchise into a walking simulator. Get 
You picked up the Humble Bundle, right? Then no need.
Yes, this is worth it. Better in Co-Op for obvious reasons, but fun nonetheless. This is NOT like Minecraft. Here, the enemies actually are out to kill you! There's a much bigger focus on digging and fighting.
Early Access, hands off. These devs even lost the game code at some point (I'm not kidding) and had to rebuild the game from pretty much scratch. I wouldn't trust them to deliver a finished product anytime soon.
InXile is a trustworthy developer, but this is, again, Early Access. Don't buy it yet. Wait for the release of the game, its not worth buying yet. Or rather, there's no point buying an RPG with only the basic content. You'll just spoil your first "full" playthrough for yourselves.
This HD remaster sucks. There are framerate issues, problems where sprites would spazz out, and their "HD" changes can be boiled down to "showing more on screen". So you'll basically have the old SD image quality and zoom, but there's more to the top and sides of it at the same time. The graphic fidelity really hasn't changed. But its AoE II, so at 5 bucks, you may pick it up I guess....
Another Early Access game... Yeah, they've officially left the Early Access programme, but there's STILL content missing, including game modes and maps. TotalBiscuit's SaleBox video says it may be worth the money, but once again, be careful about it.
This costs FIVE EUROS, or $7.49. Buy it. I don't like the modern BioWare, but hell, this was, in my opinion, their last good, oldschool BioWare game. There's a shitload of content in Origins alone, but the Ultimate Edition includes the Expansion and all the DLC. Definitely worth the pick. Though I could never be arsed to play more than 10 hours or so - it is rather lengthy, with lots of dialogue.
...yeah, at 5 bucks (or less in Europe), I can actually say you may pick it up. Its worth it as a platform for mods, if the game itself is mediocre, padded to death and the story does not actually revolve around you, the fabled "Dragonborn" hero. The game feels static and about as deep as a puddle.
What's the matter with all this Early Access bullshit today? Seriously, another Zombie game? Really? The THIRD today? Seriously though, no, don't buy it. Not finished, not worth it.
THIS you should buy if you have any sense of humor. This is a game about choice, or the lack thereof. It is a fantastic adventure, 
Yes, so much yes. This game is GOOD, grab it. No need to buy the GOTY edition, as the only relevant DLC is the Tomb of the Lost Adventurer, which costs less than a dollar, the rest are costumes (some of which are pretty nice) or multiplayer unlocks and maps - and MP is irrelevant.
If you buy this, buy the GOTY. The amount of DLC is staggering - AND THE GOTY DOESN'T EVEN INCLUDE ALL OF IT!
This was supposed to be a precursor for an MMO, but the developers went bankrupt after releasing Reckoning. Two DLC packs got released, but the studio is no more. However, the game is REALLY underrated, and it suffered greatly from being released in Skyrim's wake.
Great game, really. Not if you're in Germany, Switzerland or Austria, though. Australia also got some stuff censored, but at least it was replaced with a witty remark.
It is good at what it does, but gets fairly repetitive after a while. The enemies aren't really creative, and become annoying throughout the game, rather than scary. The DLC is 50% off.
I was really hoping for a 66% discount at least, but 10 bucks for this game are pretty good. The game's got humor and the fighting is tight as fuck.
Early Access. Hands off unless you read the forum first.
Early Access in all but name. The 5th and final episode is yet to be released, and it won't be until late July at the earliest, if the past is anything to go by. The price is fine, I guess, but please note that the episodes after the first are what, an hour long each? Yeah...
This was released a bit over a month ago on PC, but was out on Xbox before then. Its a damn solid game from all I've seen, and I might pick it up.
YES, YES, YES, SPEND THOSE $4!!!!!!!
This Director's Cut includes the DLCs, but better integrated into the game (you don't start out with an inventory full of weapons and ammo), and the Missing Link DLC, which was a stand-alone game entry before, is inserted into the story seamlessly.
This is the original Deus Ex game. As such, it is old and benefits from a few community mods. It looks very dated out of the box. It is, however, a pretty good game, and you'd be amiss to not pick it up.
The sequel to the original. Widely considered the worst game in the franchise, and the one that killed it for half a decade. It doesn't compare well to the first game, though I'd still say its cheap enough for the purchase to not be too regrettable even if you get disappointed by the high standards it fails to live up to.
The BEST deal you can get here is the Franchise Pack. It includes SR2, SR3 with all DLC, and Saints Row 4 plus DLC. For less than 20 bucks. SR4 alone costs 10, so if you don't know SR3's Full Package yet, this is the best possible way to buy into the franchise.
FTL got a free update to the "Advanced Edition" a few months ago, which expanded on a lot of things. The game is great.
Nope. Shit price, 50% is still 30 dollars, not worth it by ANY means.
This JUST had a Flash deal for 8 hours and then slipped into the daily deal for another 48 on top.
Has been bundled before, but hey, its a good game if you like feeling completely incompetent. It started this whole incompetence simulator craze, and is pretty good at what it does - making you feel like a horrible butcher.
Oh, hey, another shooter on today's dailies, who would've thought? At least this one's quite alright, though I wouldn't recommend it without a few friends to join you. It is multiplayer/co-op only, though.
As somebody who earned 93% of the achievements for this game, played it twice from the very beginning and countless more games in New Game+, New Game++ and New Game+++ etc, I can wholeheartedly recommend Rogue Legacy. It's a great game, usually very fair (outside of Fairy Chest rooms, at least), and will test your pattern recognition skills as well as combat execution. Best played with a gamepad, though!
