Interesting on Steam
Cineveo – Virtual Reality Cinema is exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a Rift DK2 application that plops you down in the middle of a cinema (There are several to choose from) and allows you to view your movies as if you were sitting at the movies. A popcorn bucket is not included but it says you can control everything hands free, you can link up with others for multiplayer viewing and you can drop in a view from a webcam to still keep in touch with the outside world. This just seems so cool I want to buy a Rift for myself. Available now for 10$.
Mighty No. 9Â is an action platformer from the guy who thought up Mega-Man. And, with respect, I don’t see why there’s so much hype around it. It looks nice enough but I see no reason to get excited about this over any other platformer. In fact, I’m much more excited about Trine 3. Coming in 15th of September.
Exanima is a kind of dungeon crawling action RPG but with a heavy stress on attention to detail across the board. It’s pretty, looks compelling as hell and as far as the combat simulation goes, it looks like Dark Souls if Dark Souls was Diablo and I’m looking forward to it. Now in Early Access.
Break_In looks like the last piece in an iteration process that started with the Castle Doctrine, proceeded through King of Thieves and now has reached this, the first person shooter version of the “Build defenses around your home and then go and break someone else’s defenses” game. It’s not really my thing but I’m intrigued by the concept and hope it goes well for them. Now in Early Access.
GemCraft – Chasing Shadows is GemCraft but with a new dress. The original GemCraft is still one of the best implementations of the tower defense genre out there. This new iteration looks like a new coat of paint, some new levels and a new mechanic or two. I’m not a huge tower defense fan but if you are, you probably shouldn’t skip this one. 9$ until May 7th.
