SALES & "SALES"/DEALS

Let's start with a new Humble Bundle, the Humble Best of 2017 Bundle... but be careful! It's not about the best games of 2017, but the most popular games of last year's bundles. It's an important difference.

 

On the Bundle Store, there's a new sale featuring VR games, for those of you that have a headset: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/vr-sale

 

Lastly, we have the Steam Midweek Madness deals, this time featuring three games:

• Steep is 50% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/460920/Steep/
• Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force (the title is much longer, but f*ck it) is 70% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/524580/Fairy_Fencer_F_Advent_Dark_Force____ADVENT_DARK_FORCE___F_ADVENT_DARK_FORCE/
• Cities: Skylines is not only 75% off (too bad the DLC isn't) but also free to try until this Sunday: http://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/Cities_Skylines/
