Dead Secret and Apollo 11 are really good.




I'll add Dead Secret as a 9/10 for me so far.  Really good atmosphere, couple of good jump scares, fun adventure game.  Makes great use of VR, although the normal mode gives some discomfort when the camera moves, the immersion makes the jump scares significantly scarier.



I gave the Dead Secret page in Home another look since it's now <$10, but hesitated to buy after noticing it's also a Gear VR game and a standard 2D desktop game. Now I'll give it yet another look. I'm also considering Ad1ft now that it's $14. 

Omega Agent for $7.50 USD is a bargain. I paid $15 and don't regret it even though I've only played twice. It has a good variety of challenges and environments, and seems to be one of very few 1st-person games available in Home so far. 

Chronos for $40 - definitely buy it unless you only have $40-50 total to spend in the near future and want to spread it out over several smaller games (even then, it's still worth considering if you're an action RPG fan). $50 was already a fair price for what I think is a AAA VR action adventure with moderately high replay value, and it probably wont be <$40 until Thanksgiving or Christmas (just speculating), if ever. 

I'm still waiting to find out whether the publishers of Project Cars will be giving out Home keys for those who bought GOTY Edition with all DLC. AFAIK, ATW is still available only in the Home version. $40 would be a steal for the whole game if I hadn't already paid $50 for PS4 version way back and $75 total for original Steam Version + all DLC (latter bought on Steam sale a month or so ago).

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Airmech: Command, Technolust, and Esper 2 are all games I bought at full price, based on good reviews and screenshots, but never got around to trying, the main reason being that I still haven't set up my CV1. The first two are now $10 off during this summer sale.

If you're still on the fence about Dead Secret, I did a longer write-up here with a full review:

Well I just gave up eighty-eight-and-a-half dollars and a large chunk of my secondary hard-drive.  :sweat_smile:

I literally bought just about everything I was even a little interested in... and there's a couple more I'm debating, too.
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

Not really part of the Summer Sale, but it got a launch discount of 25% is Final Approach Pilot Edition.
I am seriously having a lot of fun with this game. Money well spend in my opinion.

I looked at The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter at $30.99 but then saw it on steam for $3.99 so steam got my money

Lukwtwz mentioned that there would be no ATW in the Steam version of PCars. Is that correct?

That is however the none VR version. the VR version is $12 on Steam, still cheaper then here.

Yes I see the VR content is like an add on and costs  $7.49 on top of the game, But as you say it's a lot cheaper that $30

Can't recommend Chronos highly enough, beautifully immersive atmosphere, simple but fun combat and looks great. Kind of like Zelda mixed with Dark Souls.
