Dying Light looks excellent; anyone here play it and like it? I would be playing it strictly single player. Shapez also looks interesting. ---

I haven’t played Dying Light solo, only with my kiddo. For a free game, heck yeah snatch it up. We’re only a little far in (probably not even 10 hours total…and even given that, you have to also understand the we kind of go randomly where he wants, so we don’t have 10 hours of actual game progression) so we still are mostly relying on melee combat and grenades etc. rather than using firearms. It’s a fun game; gets a little intense at times if you’re in to that sort of thing. The parkour aspect is actually a lot of fun. Unless you corner yourself (or are forced in to a corner due to an objective) you usually feel like you can run and jump your way out of it. Should add that it can also be very pretty at times. ---

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is fine but it is not remotely like Wing Commander. I’d be hard pressed to recommend it but, for free, definitely worth a try I think. ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > For a free game, heck yeah snatch it up Done. Thanks much for the feedback. I also picked up shapez, but I think that one might end up just being more clutter in my game library. ---

I’ve got shapez on Steam. It’s actually pretty good, it’s like Factorio except more pure - there’s no enemies to get in the way, and setting up factories to build the shapes is pretty fun. It’s worth a look if you like that style of game. I got a few dozen hours out of it. ---

I put a few hours into it last night. It was alright, but I can see where it will soon get grindy. ---

They lost me when they require that you sign up for their newsletter to collect. Noped right out. I have no faith that a company that will do that will honor an unsubscribe and won’t sell my address to someone else. ---

They’ll honor the unsubscribe because that’s what I do each time. I have no way of knowing if they sell your email but that’s a risk you take with **any** online vendor. ---
