SALES & "SALES"/DEALS

Get 60 percent off comedy physics puzzler Human Fall Flat
http://www.pcgamer.com/get-60-percent-off-comedy-physics-puzzler-human-fall-flat/
Before I address the potentially confusing strapline above, let me tell you that digital storefront Fanatical is selling comedy physics puzzle game Human Fall Flat for £4.79/your regional equivalent. For a game that's genuinely laugh-out-loud funny, I think that's a good deal. It's even funnier in multiplayer mode, which is why Fanatical has discounted the game's two packs and four packs in earnest.

>>If you buy the single edition it's 60% off, it's 63% off if you buy the pack of 2, and it reaches 73% off for pack of 4.

 

Also at Fanatical, there's the Very Positive Sale, with games rated "very positive" at Steam.

 

And while we're at it, remember that there's also the Humble Store's Winter Sale, and the Humble "Hope for Orphans" Bundle.
