Weekend is bargain time: There are some exciting offers on Steam, GOG and the Ubisoft Store, which we summarise for you.
Who turned the clock, is it really the weekend again? Absolutely spot on and you know exactly what that means: it’s time for the Weekend Sale. On Steam, GOG and in the Ubisoft Store you can get some games at a reduced price this weekend.
Highlight for the weekend: Hades
(Genre: Action Role-Playing Game – Developer: Supergiant Games – Release: 09/17/2020 – Price: 13 Euro (Steam, reduced by 40 percent))
98 percent positive reviews on Steam, a score of 90 in the GlobalESportNews test and 4th place among the top-rated Steam games of all time: Hades is without a doubt a real hit. But what makes the game from developer Supergiant Games (Bastion, Transistor) so good?
The combat system and the characters: Hades is a roguelite that relies on both a fast and massive combat system and characters that really grow on you bit by bit. As the son of the god of death himself, you have to fight your way through the underworld and get support from the gods of Olympus. If you die anyway, you have to start all over again, but you can unlock additional advantages for your next attempt – and you constantly receive new dialogues with the inhabitants of the underworld and other beings.
Playway Sale on Steam
In addition to the usual weekend deals, Steam also has a big Playway promotion this weekend. There are numerous games from the large Polish publisher on sale, which definitely goes a few different ways in terms of production
