Stealth Gaming Hall of Fame: Thief and Deus Ex Series
Calling all master thieves and cyberpunk conspirators – GOG’s got your back! Eidos’ genre-defining Thief games are criminally underpriced right now. These stone-cold classics will have you skulking through the shadows, pilfering priceless loot, and uncovering all sorts of creepy medieval secrets the elite want to be buried. A true stealth gamer’s delight!
And suppose dystopian corporate espionage is more your scene. In that case, the Deus Ex Collection is an unbeatable €10.99 for four of the meatiest, most mind-blowing action RPGs ever to grace a hard drive. Customize your augmentations, unravel twisted conspiracies, and shape the future of mankind, all while exploring sprawling hubs packed with juicy secrets. Political intrigue doesn’t get any better than this.
Seriously, if you don’t already own these landmark stealth/RPG titans, fix that RIGHT NOW. Your gaming cred will never recover otherwise.
Martial Arts, Mayhem, and Raiding Tombs: Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider Series
Fellow virtual tourists, gather ’round. For the low, low price of €2.99, you can spend a wild vacation in Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition’s lovingly recreated Hong Kong. We’re talking street races, shootouts with triads, betting on cockfights, belting out karaoke – this undercover cop adventure has it all! The A+ kung fu combat alone is worth the price of admission. Total sleeper hit.
Prefer raiding trap-filled ruins to busting up gang hideouts? Lara Croft‘s got you covered. Her original PS1 exploits to get a stunning facelift in Tomb Raider: Anniversary for a measly €0.99, while Tomb Raider: Underworld’s globetrotting escapades can be yours for the same crazy-low price. That’s dozens of hours of acrobatic artifact hunting for less than your morning latte. Now that’s what I call a smart gaming investment!
But hey, you like your treasure hunting a bit grittier. In that case, the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot and Rise of the Tomb Raider are must-plays. These games ditch the camp for a fascinating look at how Lara became the hardened adventurer we know and love, complete with eye-popping graphics and set pieces that put Hollywood blockbusters to shame. 85% and 80% off, respectively, for the complete editions – how can you resist?
