Atomic Heart has been out all of five minutes and already has its first discount. Virtually all of the reviews seem to think it's well optimised, so runs in a good state, but doesn't seem to know quite what it wants to be. It's beautiful but dull, just like that ex-girlfriend you still have fond memories of.

Atomic Heart on Steam

In a mad and sublime utopian world, take part in explosive encounters. Adapt your fighting style to each opponent, use your environment and upgrade your equipment to fulfill your mission. If you want to reach the truth, you'll have to pay in blood.

always makes me laugh how quick games go on sale or with a discount, remember the old days when buying in a store meant waiting forever for a discount

Or remember the days when you got a physical product that could be passed on to siblings or sold/traded at your local games shop.

Now even the physical product tends to be a download code, and you have no right to re-sell it.

I lean both ways when it comes to this - ooer!

Bigger budget games offering discounts early is usually a bad sigh, as it suggests lower sales than forecast and so the bean counters are panicking and looking to build sales before the next big release happens and their game sales vanish in favour of the new shiny thing.

Indie games tend to offer a discount on preorders or very early on to try and grab the attention of people, as those kinds of games tend to live or die by word of mouth (Steam reviews, etc) as the budget just isn't there to market the game. That means the most effective way to sell larger numbers of games long-term is to increase the number of sales in the short term, by discounting early.

to be honest i kind of preferred a physical box with a manual, seemed more satisfying

Aye. Runs great for the looks but just didn't entirely click with me and it's hard to quite place why tbh. It's more a number of little things (and would probably sound overly fussy if I elaborated) than any major flaw though.

Still, that it ran as well and had no bugs (for me anyway) first week is getting to be quite an achievement re AAA games so...

I mean, how's about that The Last of Us launch, eh?

You can get Dying Light: Enhanced Edition free on Epic right now if you’re into that kind of thing.

There’s also a puzzler called Shapez available. The ‘z’ in that title annoys me. It’s the behaviour of a complete arze.

Shapez is another one of the Factorio-type games where you're creating conveyor belts to feed things into machines and putting the outputs into other machines until you have a big confusing mess of machines and belts. Actually more fun than it sounds!

Hey, you. Like the idea of medieval LARPing but too lazy to put on the chainmail, armour and lug a big old axe around the battlefield?

If so, Epic’s free game, Mordhau, may be the title for you…

I really enjoyed CP2077 thought it was really solid. Was it everything they said it was? Not even close but it was still a pretty good game

I'm just jealous as I haven't got a system that would run it.

Plus it's open world and my brain can't cope with that many options.

Since the latest update, it runs really well, but as I don't own a 4000-series card, I can't have all the latest RT goodness the game has. Looks pretty darn good for me though!
