I quite enjoyed the first Xenonauts game. I got it for free from GOG and decided to try it to scratch an itch for a turn-based game, and I had a good time with it. MInd you, I had to restart it twice (and both times with around 15h in) because I messed with the economy of the game, but the third time was the charm. Graphics wise it's worse than the XCOM from Firafis, but it give you more options gameplay wise.

I actually kickstarted the game (and it's sequel) and my real name and likeness may show up in the sequel from time to time as one of your soldiers if you're lucky.

That's so cool. Now we know who will be your favorite soldier then, regardless of the class (tho you can hopefully change class like in the first game).

Thank you for joining us! (seriously, we were 13, and that's not a good omen...).

If you're ok with it, I'll use your data from previous years.

August was a solid month although I haven't played everything quite a few I was interested in



August's most interesting part, to me, is how we finally got Blizzard back to the store... with a game with an overwhelmingly negative score, while at the same time we got the GOTY that is Baldur's Gate 3.

Also, honorable mentions to Sea of Stars and Mimimi's swan song, Shadow Gambit, but at least they closed doors on their own terms, not because they were forced to do it.

Last days yo join! I repeat: Last day to join!

Let keep this thread right on top with another look at the best releases, this time with August and September:

AUGUST

SEPTEMBER

All I have to say here is Balders Gate 3!  Just one great game with so much fun to be had in some strange ways sometimes! 

Disappointed with the re-launch of Saints Row.  Still a big fan of the prior games.  Wish they had done so much more with that.  Hopefully one day we can have a worthy successor to the purple throne!

AUGUST

Lots of interesting games were released this month.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the one that stands out the most obviously, besides that one I'm interested in Atlas Fallen, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, BOOK OF HOURS, Sea of Stars, and Shadow Gambit.

Overwatch 2 was the first Blizzard game released on Steam, and quickly became one the worst rated games.

And the Saints Row reboot turned out to be a big disappointment.

Dune: Spice Wars reminds me how much I would like for Emperor: Battle for Dune to be re-released.

I'm also interested in Fate/Samurai Remnant, Moonstone Island, Wandering Sword, WitchSpring R, and Starfield.

Remember, that you can only gift games to people in your friends list!

I just checked all the Steam profiles above... one of them got an invite from me, the others already had the "message"-option instead of the "add friend" option:

I also gave each of you a profile award for participating this year's Secret Santa... since I can shit "Steam points" from the three Steam Decks I bought.

And someone got several profile awards for all of his work:

Maybe some Steam keys will follow.... who knows?

I think Starfield has a chance to change its poor reception over time. And I say that mainly because people's expectation will make way for what the game really is, and not the Skyrim in space game many expected it to be, but also because Bethesda has been kicked in the but and will try hard to improve the game every way they can.

But of course, I may be wrong.

Thank you very much for the friendly remainder to accept all friend requests to be able to gift and recieve the presents.

And a very honest and deep thanks for the profile gifts. You really didn't have to, and yet you went the extra mile. Thanks a lot.
