> [@Chelonaut](#): > > Do the environment change a bit from icy snowy desolation? This article gives a pretty thorough description of the different areas in the game, with contributions from the game’s art director and a couple of developers: > **[A Guided Tour Through The Five Regions Of Diablo 4's Sanctuary](https://www.gameinformer.com/2023/03/01/a-guided-tour-through-the-five-regions-of-diablo-4s-sanctuary)** > > Here are snapshots of Kehjistan, Scosglen, Fractured Peaks, Dry Steppes, and Hawezar and information on what to expect in each. There are even videos to show you. It’s a geographical tour, not very spoilery if you’re worried about that. In my opinion it’s a very diverse exploration of various kinds of wasteland. ---

I got that one free a few years ago, it’s a really good entry and fantastic world. I love the claustrophobic Victorian feel and swapping between the siblings with their particular specialties. ---

Yeah I never really paid attention to Asscreed Syndicate but I was very impressed by it. The look and feel is great, I love the outfits and the London buildings. I like gradually taking back London, sorta like Paris in The Saboteur. ---

Me too. They look like fun little games. I wouldn’t pay money for them but at free they’re attractive. ---

[Fanatical is giving away Desolate](https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/desolate), a FPS survival horror game. It’s sort of a mix of STALKER and Half-Life. But from the little I played it isn’t as good as either. Still, not a bad looking game and supports online co-op. It’s something different. ---

Actually this happens a lot, the Half-Life option mentioned upthread was the same. Often (not always) someone will release free copies limited to X-number which generates buzz for old and new games. My feeling is, well, still better than our recent and well-justified rants about “Doorbuster” deals on Black Friday. But yeah, I clicked within 5 minutes of your post and they were already sold out. Hurts less when you’re losing something free at least, and didn’t stand in line hours for it! ---

Head 2 Head is a side view fighting game (think Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc) that is currently free in Early Access but soon to be released with a price tag. Those who claim it now will keep it for free. > Now that Early Access is ending, and we have added a significant amount of new content to the game, we are releasing Head 2 Head at $14.99. Don’t worry, for anyone who has already obtained Head 2 Head for free in Early Access, you will keep the game and all of your progress for free. https://store.steampowered.com/widget/1617900 ---

It appears that the Destiny 2 thing is an expansion or something, and “requires the base game”. ---

That’s what it looks like, but the base game is available for free, as well.
