Fry Crayola Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Death of the Outsider is free, that's a standalone expansion following the sequel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Yeah I got that too for free, I don’t know how to run Epic games though or add them to my library, is it easy? For the DE with all the DLC included for the first game that’s really good value isn’t it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on that, search for “Heroic” and get the Heroic games launcher. You can then log into both your Epic and GOG libraries. There is a setting to automatically add them to the deck as non-Steam games so you can see them in gaming mode and don’t have to faff with desktop mode to play them. You might have to set up accounts via the respective websites first. Not sure you can set them up via Heroic as it’s a third party app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I have is proof it was delivered to Havant a few days ago. Hopefully I'm not waiting much longer. I'm in the same position, it'd be nice if they said something.

HarryBizzle Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 No idea about Origin, I’m afraid. I’ve not used Origin in years but when I did i found it quite painful to use. Would probably just wait and get it on Epic/Steam. I think Epic do vouchers quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tried Origin yet on mine - nothing in my library that I want to play on the small screen, but this is the process for adding Origin. Might try it for Dragon Age and original Dead Space versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on CDKeys The only time I've ever seen them at a discount that wasn't a scam was through some Currys voucher shenanigans. I'd keep an eye out, but they're not a regular thing. I'd rather just look for discounts on the games themselves, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you checking them on https://isthereanydeal.com/? Might be on offer elsewhere. I use the "Augmented Steam" plugin in browser so I can hover items in my wishlist and see the current cheapest place to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siri Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 You involved with a workplace schemes where you can buy shopping vouchers? That could be a thing - buy those for Currys/Game, buy Steam Credit, job done (albeit more leg work) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard conflicting things about whether you can use Currys gift cards to buy other vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on the scheme. I'm a trying to check our one now while I'm at work, and I don't think we have one any more In other news: did they change something to SteamOS overnight? It's now asking me if I want to stop being asked about launch options, which it's never done before. It's incredibly useful, don't get me wrong, just haven't seen it before on all my other games!

Yeah, that was in the latest update. You can default to a single version now (and turn that off so it asks again if you so wish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siri Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 This is what I deserve after spending yesterday streaming Nothing, Forever for several hours on my Deck. And Larry turned into a fucking TERF comedian overnight, too. Absolutely crestfallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradigor Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Steam Next Fest Impressions. Tape to Tape A roguelite ice hockey game is something I never expected to work. But work it does and I am all over this one. Decent hockey mechanics, simple controls and very arcadey with rogue elements inspired by Slay the Spire 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradigor Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 The Repair House Basically fixing things and restoring them. It is so relaxing, shame the demo is so short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradigor Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Cook Serve Forever The fourth in the series and much simpler in terms of controls, but works really well for the frantic gameplay the series is built on. Perfect for Deck Flight Level Could be good but had the tiniest text ever and is unplayable on deck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strafe Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 There’s a demo for Planet of Lana, which looks charming enough and runs by default on ‘Ultra’ settings, though you can push it further to ‘max’. Amusingly, there’s a ‘potato’ setting to use also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerokus Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Juno: New Origins (formerly Simple Rockets 2) is a Kerbal-style game which runs really nicely and controls decently, though the default configuration has mouse click on the back paddles which is a bit odd. It's pretty addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerokus Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Yeah it caught me out too. They changed it because the game isn't that simple any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
