The Game Sales and Deals Thread, With No Apologies to Anyone

The Eidos Marvel's Avengers game is $3.99 from now until it's delisted at the end of the month (it'll stay available to download and play after delisting).
 
The single player campaign is offline, right? I guess the question is how long/how good of a Ms. Marvel game is that?
 
The campaign starts out neat but gets worse the longer it goes on and the more each mission just becomes the standard mindless action game they built the online around
 
my understanding is that the multiplayer will remain, I think? or at least not immediately stop.

anyway I think delisting sucks and $4 is very very cheap so I went for it
 
Hmmm. $27 is awful tempting, but I was thinking PS5 for that one since I hardly ever play longer stuff on PC and it seems like a game that won't be best experienced on Steam Deck (if I get one next year). Well, I suppose I have until the 10th to decide!
 
Alan Wake II is 20% off on PS5. I’m thinking about picking it up, despite the fact that recently finished the remaster of the first game and didn’t have a great time. A lot more third person shooter than I was hoping for.
 
My understanding of the sequel is it doesn't really play the same, but I don't know details (I also don't love AW's shooting setup).
 
Alan Wake 2's third person shooter bits look much better and it has a weapon upgrade system that can make those bits quite a bit more interesting. Everything else about it looks absolutely mind-blowingly improved over the original. You can look back at the original and see things they likely wanted to do and just couldn't back then. But they can now, and WOW did they ever.
 
Alan Wake II is much more of an action horror game like RE4 than the first game, which is a horror-themed third person shooter. Unfortunately I don't think the changes to combat made it better, but there's more of the game that isn't action-focused.
 
I've heard the writing is surprisingly good in that one! I picked up the free copy, though I don't know if/when I'll actually get around to it.
 
I think it fits comfortably in the list of Good Comic Book Video Games alongside the Arkhams, Insomniac Spider-Men and Marvel vs. Capcom
 
It is quite good, albeit a little jarring if all you know is the movies as everything is just off enough to make you think you woke up in the wrong timeline.
 
I've really enjoyed it as specifically not related to the movies. Kind of its own micro-miniverse. And I can't think of a better superhero Slay the Spire Three Houses X-Com.
 
I played it last year (I think) when I was on the tail end of my PS+ subscription and had a good time. Absolutely worthwhile for free!
 
The Batman Arkham Collection (including the three Rocksteady games, no Origins) is like $8 on Fanatical for a Steam Key and even cheaper on the PS Store. It's $36 on Switch which is... still a sale, though I have no clue how those games, especially Arkham Knight run on Switch. Xbox is still full price for some reason, sorry.
