Blood rain, giblets, and warm bullet casings
Mild, sharp, and sharper cheese tastings
Metal dudes shredding their taut guitar strings
These are a few of my favorite things

  • You only listed Bastion, but the other Supergiant games always go on sale as well. Anyone interested, do yourself a favor and get Transistor and/or Pyre instead or as well.

    I’ve been a long time Supergiant fan and it was a thing of gaming beauty to see Hades have such success as it masterfully blended all 3 of their games into the perfect package. Bastion was their first and my least favorite (probably because of it). But it is still worth playing for sure.

    Transistor was the first I played and what made me fall in love with their studio. God tier soundtrack, incredible setting, and innovative real time/turn based combat gameplay.

    Pyre is the black sheep but my favorite. It is undeniably unique gameplay. But, true talk, you really play it for the story, and that is very much not my gaming MO. It’s indescribable and any fan of Hades wouldn’t receive that game without Pyre coming first. If you liked even 1 character in Hades, you owe it to yourself to play this. I’m not a fantasy fan but I adore the world they crafted. And it is, somehow, probably Korb’s best soundtrack.

    Patience may reward you with even lower prices. But they routinely hit this low in every big sale these days. And the risk of not playing them before you die far outweighs the extra dollar you might save.

    Indeed. Ice Pirates, Mac n Me, and Tammy. They all encapsulate slightly different aspects of filmmaking that make me appreciate them. And I’m not really into ironically liking bad movies, but I adore these. Mac n Me is legit hilarious to me when viewed with a cynical eye of Raffill making a mockery that McDonald’s gave him money to ripoff ET. Ice Pirates shows how you make an old sci-fi “epic” on a shoe string budget (Roger corman style). Tammy shows how you manifest a movie solely around the fact you got access to some interesting thing (the t-Rex). It’s pure, distilled filmmaking, imo. And I’ll take it any day over the majority of slop we get now.
