As Steam's Summer Sale is in full effect, GoG began its own sale Monday. The online store specializes in PC indie games and older titles from back when they came on floppy disks.
Here is a selection of some of the best games in the GoG summer sale that ends on July 8.
Kogi Igarashi was the longtime producer of the Castlevania series for Konami. When he left the company, he came up with a new concept as a spiritual successor to the famed series and funded the project via Kickstarter in 2015. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night features Miriam who makes her way through a demon-infested castle in order to save humanity.
Into the Breach is a strategy RPG where players control giant mechs to destroy monsters threatening humanity. What makes this game unique is how it incorporates the collateral damage involved in robots battling giant beasts. Players have to think of a strategy that annihilates all the monsters but without sacrificing many human lives.
Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is the sequel to the company's 2015 spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dales series from the late '90s. The game lets players explore the region of Deadfire as they take to the seas on their own ship and explore the tropical lands.
