[Swords and Soldiers HD](https://store.steampowered.com/app/63500/Swords_and_Soldiers_HD/) free on steam. The pace of free games has been increasing a whole lot lately. If you were a cheap bastard it would be viable for you to play nothing but free games. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > If you were a cheap bastard it would be viable for you to play nothing but free games. I am and at this point that’s pretty much what I do. My Steam and GOG libraries are crammed full of good stuff I didn’t pay for and rarely have time to play. ---

> [@D\_Odds](#): > > I hate 🆒 when the free stuff is stuff I already bought (for $5 long ago). Gimme free stuff I want to play and don’t own. Is that so hard. 😃 Try it anyway, I had the base game from before and it still added the Deluxe DLC to my account. ---

The starter edition of [For Honor](https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/304390/) is free on Steam right now. I believe it’s been given away free via Uplay before but if you missed that and/or want it on Steam, go for it. ---
