I just bought half my wishlist on Steam. Stupid sale! My unplayed games list was bad enough already!
I am now the proud owner of Gish. I think I originally played the demo of that about ten years ago. I've been meaning to buy it ever since.
I've also just played (and beaten) Thirty Flights of Loving. It goes firmly in the "Less of a game, more of an experience" category.
Bigro, I have to admit, I don't see the appeal. Sure, it looks pretty, but gameplay looks like if you took all the interesting bits out of Dwarf Fortress, Age of Empires and SimCity and stuck what was left in an old-timey frontier setting. I can't say it grabs me.
What I do dig is, apparently sustainability is a game theme? And the website says he coded it all by himself! Engine from scratch in C++! That's tough, speaking from personal experience, and mine doesn't hold a candle to his. And he did all the graphics and audio and everything!
