What Game Have You Bought.

Talk about everything else that may happen in life that doesn't happen inside the real world of Space Gaming... is there really anything outside of Space sim/Combat Gaming?

Recently I picked up XCOM Chimera Squad in a GOG sale. It's fun balancing each squad member's abilities.

Played Outer Worlds. Best described, to me at least as "Fallout In Space".

I found it a bit uninspired, not that it's a bad game, just a bit seen it all before.
Had no idea that there was another XCom game, will put it on the Steam Wishlist and pick it up in the sale. Picked up Deus EX Mankind Divided on the PS4, think that gives me all of them but still have only played the first two games.

Picked up Putty squad for the PS4 not sure if this a remake or a sequel to the original Amiga game.
Also picked up Pirates for the PC and when I look in the box, it had a copy of half life 2, result until I remembered that HL2 probably needs Steam to work, and Pirates should have two disks. Burned again

JA2 is considered by many to be the best in turn based tactical games. There's been allot of games that have tried to emulate it, but sadly they are all full of fail. If you want a good turn based tactical experience I suggest you play JA2, if you don't mind the slightly outdated graphics.

Would that be Jagged Alliance 2, had a go at one of the later games but never really got into it.

Beyond a Steel Sky, was going to buy it on PC as Steam has it on sale at the moment, but I thought I would have a look and see what the physical copy on the PS4 was going for and found the steel book version for £15 on Amazon.
And who does not like a steel book with a slip cover as well.

Nice just about to start playing it and I hope we get a physical version of the new Monkey Island game.

Got the Empire: Total War strategy, surprisingly, but it's old at our time!

Never go into the total war games, always meant to give the Rome one a go.

Huh, Fortunately, there's a good mod PUA for better realism and historical units, like the French Picardia or a lot of different British line infantry. You can also get a part of The War of the Spanish Succession with famous admirals George Rooke and Suffren de Saint-Tropeze, for example.

Hunbug that black Friday sale is getting worse, only thing I picked up was the new guardians of the galaxy game and I hope it's not the quick time style of play the last one was.

This game was more popular in my country than Elite series, you can find Amiga here with great difficulties, when many people made their own PC from magazines' schemes. So, one more kitty less, I'm hot today!

Often been tempted buy some of the new Amiga games but usually come down to the fact that they don't make anything that I would be interested in playing.
Never could get into Wing Commander 3 myself, mind you it was the ps1 version that I played, much better on Pc.
