I had a magical moment yesterday, looking at the Steam Sale and tempted to buy Dying Light: The Beast, and it hit me that I have the original Dying Light in my backlog.
Eight hours later, it’s safe to say I really like this game, and spending zero dollars is pretty nice too.
What’s everyone else playing?
When Steam had its outage recently, I decided to go through my GOG library instead to find something to play. Noticed I had the Thief Trilogy, which I had never played, so I gave the first game a try. I wouldn’t have thought that a 3d-game from 1998 would hold up so well! It pretty much does stealth as good or even better than modern games. Sound design is brilliant as well. I’m 10 hours in and quite hooked on it right now.
Make sure to play the second one too! It’s widely regarded as the best game in the series.
Love that we’re all finding cool stuff we forgot about in our backlogs and saving money this year. :)
Isn’t there a open source game inspired by Thief Trilogy that tries to improve upon it, with tons of community made maps.
Can’t remember the name.
Edit: it was The Dark Mod
I could be wrong, I think it’s a rare case of a game releasing with zero levels. The idea there was to let people take it and make their own levels for it (which, I’m sure, many did)
