Halloween Game Sales, Where To Go For Some Deals

By -
tagline-image
For the folks who don't already know, a number of stores are running a Halloween sale. There's some really great deals to be had.

You can see all of Steam's Halloween sales here, you can find GOG's list here, and Humble Store's here. Steam seems to be the only one that allows deals like this to be sorted by platform, which makes it rather handy.

Remember when buying games to make sure it has a Linux logo, otherwise your sale might not count as a Linux sale. This situation is still pretty unclear though, so I'm just sticking to the basics of "Tux logo = okay to buy it". I would advise buying Alien: Isolation on Steam if you wanted it, since Humble only has a Windows logo (even if it is cheaper on Humble right now).

Personally, I picked up NOCT since I liked the beta (you should also have a 40% discount in your Steam inventory if you tried the beta).

I also picked up Party Hard, as it sounds like a very interesting strategy game, with a crazy setting. It has 35% off, and the Linux version is recently so I want to cover it here too.

I imagine these won't be the only ones, my poor wallet.

What have you picked up?

Ps. If you still haven't noticed, we do have a Game Sales page, it doesn't list Steam since there's no simple way to import Steam sales. It does track GOG, Humble and others for you! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I got Insurgency and The Long Dark.

But Im finding Insurgency too realistic for me, ans The Long Dark tooo boring. :(

Apparently, Steam counts that platform on which the game is played most within the first 7 days of buying it:

See my previous comments, that's only for direct Steam sales, keys purchased from outside are different. Keys are set for platforms.
