The Summer Sale is the perfect time to pick up a few (or a lot) titles for pretty cheap. Personally, I prefer picking up multiple titles and then finishing them gradually over the next few months, as the discounts are too good to turn down. But some deals are especially worth your consideration, so let’s take a look at ten options you won’t regret considering in this year’s summer sale....

Luckily, game developers and players sometimes fight back and come up with hilarious anti-cheating mechanisms....

From the community Man, I’ve always wanted to write a clickbait listicle. It’s so liberating. As it stands, I’m rather happy with my gaming backlog. It’s at 80% completion with 88 games to go at this point in time. Marred by the majority of them being JRPGs, but, hey. From what I gather, that’s relatively low when compared to the average gamer.

Ina gamelikeBaldur’s Gate 3, where actions are less dependent on stats than the rolling of dice, it’s important to experiment with a variety of equipment and abilities. This is especially true for a damage powerhouse like Karlach, who can dish out enough pain to vanquish many enemies in a single turn — so long as you’re customizing her appropriately. In my experience, there has been a moderate amount of confidence that as long as Karlach survives — even if she’s the only one left — I at least stand a fighting chance....
