If you’d like to add yourself to that group, the entire Hooded Horse catalog of games and DLC are on sale at their lowest prices ever on Steam through Oct. 4.As someone who is a fan of its titles, I recently picked up a couple of these games from this sale, specifically the Keepers of the Stone DLC for roguelike city-builder Against the Storm, and the sadistic, turn-based strategy title Xenonauts 2.

We’re surprised that Amazon has one for October Prime Day (and that is has lasted through day 2), but there’s a catch. The company has a large stock of “like new” units that were returned, and it’s clearing out its stock at the more reasonable price of $141 (these are normally $199.99 new) for Prime members.

We’ve also found more than few great horror-themed games on sale like Mysterium (an Overboard favorite), Unfathomable, and Arkham Horror The Card Game, all perfect for the spooky season.Polygon’s Prime Day PicksThe best mode…

This is welcome news in light of Creative Assembly’s surprise announcement this week that a sequel to the first-person thriller is in development. If you haven’t had the opportunity to play the original, which remains one of the most terrifying games out there, you can quickly boot it on the internet browser on your laptop, phone, tablet, or likely on your smart TV. Luna games support keyboard and mouse but you can play via a con…
