As if keeping myself on a tight budget wasn’t hard enough, I’ve developed this compulsion to check Steam everyday at 6 p.m. GMT to see what the new deals are. Thankfully, I already own one of the games featured in Steam’s midweek offers, but if you’ve been holding off on purchasingBastion,which is 60% off, orDustforce,which is reduced by 50%,then now’s the time to break out your wallet.
Whilst our own Jim Sterling wasn’t totally enamored byBastion’scharms, I felt it was one of the best games I played last year. Jason Carbal certainly enjoyedDustforceand I’ve been itching to play it since it came out earlier in the year, even though it looks like another game that will totally show up my lack of platforming skills.
Best of all, both games have excellent soundtracks which you can purchase through Steam as well. Darren Korb’s soundtrack forBastionwas once of my favorite albums from last year, and community member Kaggen pointed me in the way ofDustforce’sexcellent soundtrack via Twitter a few days ago. Both are great candidates for inclusion in a futureNote Worthyfeature.
