![[PC] GOG.com Weekend Promo: Gamescom Adventure -- 25+ Tales and Trials 50-90% off (from $1.69)](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/99/205999.jpg?h=01dc5071)
It's Gamescom week!
It's that time of year when gamers are either in Cologne or eyeing the social media profiles of those who are. While we watch and listen, these four days are all about some of the awesomest adventures we can't stop coming back to, from some of the best in the biz.
It’s Gamescom Adventures - Daedalic and WadjetEye show up to share their goodness at at up to 90% off, and The Raven (from the creators of Book of Unwritten Tales) joins the adventure with its Linux premiere!
The grandest adventures:
Blackguards and Blackguards 2
It’s famous, it’s supernatural, it’s one of the awesomest classically pixelated series from WadjetEye with absolutely awesome mechanics - shoot a lightning bolt at an enemy standing in a puddle and watch his friends fry, too! If you haven’t heard of it, now is your chance to get completely immersed!Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today
A game that has at one point been described as “Guybrush meets Mad Max meets 12 Monkeys”. It’s a dystopian, post-apocalyptic story of humanity’s downfall totally worth the plunge into a more pessimistic sort of game.The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav
Head to the visually astounding land of Andergast, taken right from the classic pen-and-paper sort of adventure and put on your screen, and fight superstition after superstition to aid in establishing lasting peace with the neighboring kingdom of Nostria.The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief
It’s coming in with a special Linux premiere! This point-and-click adventure from the creators of The Book of Unwritten Tales embodies everything that made crime mystery novels so popular.

Excellent deals, especially "Blackguards 2".
In the end I didn't purchase "Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today", even with it been (as far as I'm aware) a historically low price. Once, long ago in the mists of antiquities, Developers would include soundtracks as an "extra" (bonus) when purchasing their games (i.e. Blackguards 2). I've heard it said that the exclusion of extras (like soundtrack or art books) allows the developer to sell the game at a cheaper price than would otherwise have been possible, and people who like the extras can then pay so it doesn't cost everyone else. People can argue all they like but I avoid supporting any Developer who practices this method of sales.
Purchased everything else, thanks for the awesome deals :)
