Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

How is it? I currently have a lot of games to play, so I might even skip a free game

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Why? The only thing you lose is the effort to click a button. And as for a lot of unplayed games.... Welcome to being a steam user, friend <3 Might as well embrace it

Doesn't hurt to grab it anyway.

Never played it but I played the sequel Dead in Vinland and I found it to be a really great game so I reckon this game is going to be pretty similar. The character development and dialogue were really well done. I'm also a sucker for turn based gameplay so there's that :>

Haven't played this one but I did thoroughly enjoy the follow-up Dead in Vinland. Thanks for the heads up!

Speaking of Dead in Vinland that game is 90% off. And even cheaper in the bundle with Dead in Bermuda.

Yep it was definitely super worthwhile! I would have never known about it if I didn't get it for free on Amazon. Definitely a great game with some incredible character development and dialogue. Just wish the ending was a bit more satisfying :o

Nabbed. I greatly appreciate the callout.
