This is basically a mix of Super Metroid, Dark Souls and Castlevania

It's more a mix of Dark Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls, tbh. 

In fact, fuck it 20 years ago. 

I'm not hugely fond of the aesthetic of salt and sanctuary.

The game doesn't look appealing to me and castlevania and dark souls are two of my favourite games 

is such a lovely crafted one. I really love the previous two.
Thx Kinn for the reminder!
To all others, go get it!

Salt and whatnot, good, but no DS vibe in any way to me.

Hail 2D and handpainting! 

That art style is a very a poor imitation of Braid.

Who the fuck imitates Braid in 2016? 

Braid was great... the art style was made by people far more artistically competent. 

Braid had a very well-designed and cohesive art style.

However, I prefer my 2D games to be proper limited palette pixel art at 240p resolution with a realistic-looking CRT scanlines effect. That is the pinnacle for me. Nothing else comes close imo. 

Braid had a very well-designed and cohesive art style.

Yes, it did. Salt And Sanctuary doesn't.

This offer allows you to add games you own on Steam to your GOG inventory. It is available for specific titles only and the offers might only appear for a limited time. Still, it'll allow you to get extra digital copies for free.

The current list of games on the page linked above is not quite complete. I could transfer Braid over to my GOG acct, but I don't see it listed on the page. You'll get the list of current offers if you link your Steam acct to the GOG one and use the actual service. Some of them said they're valid for five more days when I did that just a while ago.

This is just a heads up for people who use both and don't follow GOG news regularly. The games that are offered this way depend entirely on the publishers allowing it, I believe. 

Saw it on twitter, seems to be timing out for me but this is fairly awesome! 

Does Shovel Knight have such awesome metal soundtrack in-game? https://www.gog.com/game/shovel_knight 

Shovel knight has a great soundtrack 

Due to exceedingly high demand this may take up to several days, please check back later. Thank you for your patience.

but yeah, this'll be great (when it works) to finally get some stuff off of crappy steam.

For Balbler. Something unique about the style... reminds me of the GoT intro somewhat. 

No idea what the theme is supposed to be, but I like it. 

yeah looks alright, could do with some colour, but otherwise looks pretty good. trolls, mechs and dinosaurs wtf. RPC? role playing car? oh, role playing chat. Doesn't look like a game where you just chat. 

But the gameplay looks laughably bad:
