Your favorite Summer Sale game?

Which of the games you purchased during one of this year's Summer Sales did you like best?

For me it was Master of Orion: Collector's Edition from GOG.com. It doesn't have as big a discount as many other titles, but I am enjoying it much more than many of the other games I bought for 75%+ off.

Arma, and what could arguably be called its progeny via the "sandbox zombie survival games," has to be the bees-knees of games for me right now.

Intense PvP action with little room for error as well as tons of mods makes this a title that will hang on my hard drive for some time to come.

I just discovered Steamworld Heist last night. Turn based tactical gunplay between cowboy robots ("cowbots") aboard spaceships? More, please.

This could be a very deadly thread for some at a time when everyone thought they were out of woods.

I haven't played any yet!

I would say Crookz - The Big Heist and TROPICO 5: COMPLETE COLLECTION both on GOG.

So far my favorite one is Vietnam 65.

Very true.....I haven't bought anything in the summer sales yet. :-\

I have to play new game immedietly after purchase for at least 1 hour, so can I shelf it later without guilt :P

Of those I've played so far (I bought several that I haven't played yet) "Cranks and Goggles" - a top-down racing sim set in the 1920s-30s. Includes knock-offs of the giant "aero-engined" Brooklands cars. Minimalist graphics, but a ton of fun. On Steam for $5.

Renowned Explorers. Played that more than anything else I downloaded.

I got a cheap extras package for Heros and Generals, so I'm unexpectedly back at that.

Evochron Legacy. The game is amazing and done by a one-man army at less than 400mb in size too.

Fallout 4. Late to the party I know, but I wanted my new PC in place so's I could play it on ULTRA.

Arma III. Honestly, I think they finally got the game right...and I've been playing it since the first Flashpoint. Ridiculously immersive.
