Keys are redeemable on Steam, better hurry because this deal is not going to last long - probably a mistake. 

Played about 3 hours, it's about as good as Blood Money if not better - I'm very impressed.

Have fun!

Forgot to mention, yesterday I got Civ 6 Deluxe for $17 USD at GamesRepublic but by the time I finished writing the post here to let you guys know the deal was already over - it only lasted a few hours. What a time to be a PC gamer :)

Apologies for replying to my own post once again but I should have mentioned that if you're not in the US you can add "your uncle's" US address to your PayPal account and it will work fine. I don't think it will work if you're not in the US and try to use a credit card though.

I got Doom 4 (Doom 2016; DOOM; whatever it is supposed to be called)
for ~$20. Having played through the single-player, I'm not sure that
was a bargain but, well, it wasn't a total waste; it is colorful, at
least. 

I was /very/ tempted by the $20 Fallout 4 sale; while Bethesda RPGs
tend to lack in character and story, I love the vastness and detail of
their worlds and know I would spend a lot of time just wandering
about. But then I thought of all the inevitable DLC packages and
decided to wait for the equally-inevitable Game-of-the-Year package. I
am not sure waiting was a good idea either.

After the last Hitman game and the middling reviews of the current
episodic game, $20 sounds like the right /starting/ price for the
title. Being frugal, I think I'll wait for it to drop in price some
more though.

I paid $17 but yeah, most of the complaints are the always online feature for a single player game - which is honestly retarded - and the engine being poorly optimized for the kind of graphics one gets. They aren't bad at all but the performance is poor for some people with high powered machines for some reason.

Other than that it's an amazing game, with huge open world levels and very immersive.
