Free PC game and free weekend notification thread

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:

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.

Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate is available for free via the Ubi store until Dec 6th

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.

cant get into Epic Games right now …

It’s currently working for me, for what that’s worth.

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

Epic’s freebies for this week:

Fanatical is giving away 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.

Damn, just went there and it’s “sold out” already.

Damn, never heard of a sold out free game. That stinks.

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!

If you have Amazon Prime, Deathloop is currently free via Prime Gaming. Connects via Epic Games account.

  • Orten was the Case
  • The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos
  • Black Widow: Recharged

  • Centipede: Recharged
  • Evan’s Remains
  • Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut

GOG has Legend Of Keepers on giveaway:

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.

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.
