1 day agoPlaying Esoteric Ebb is like rolling the dice with a great DM
Esoteric Ebb is a fun CRPG inspired by Disco Elysium and Dungeons & Dragons, featuring a cleric solving a town mystery.
The world of Disco Elysium is at times an apt satire on our capitalistic times, a punk rendition of a once-obscure Estonian novel, and an amnesiac fever dream of an RPG. At turns, it seems to predict the current games of the year, European in aesthetics, byzantine and wandering in flowy artistic nature. Were it not for its number of controversies and studio troubles over the years, the chorus of people clamoring for more Disco would likely be much louder.
The Steam Autumn Sale arrived much earlier than usual this year, landing in late September rather than November. That means there's a chance to pick up some great recent PC games with a discount well before the holiday season starts. In choosing our favorites, we're looking at games that are shaving a substantial percentage off their normal price, with a mix of big titles and some you might have missed on release.
