Maybe. Also 911 Operator has been bundled 12+ times so maybe I just assume everyone and their aunt owns it already.
Epic this week:
Bendy and the Ink Machine, first person puzzle action horror.
FIve Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit, adventure puzzler.
On GOG, the game Stasis is on giveaway.
Probably just for Halloween.
I Kickstarted that way back in the day. Got it on Steam. Guess I’ll get it on GOG as well.
I often do that too. Seems no reason to do it but in case one is down or they cancel my account or something else I still have it (I doubt they will but I sometimes wonder if Steam said “We’re done” what happens to my fairly large and valuable collection of games?) Free is hard to beat. Why not?
The Deluxe edition of Statis is at an 80% discount on GOG… cheaper than the standard version! (Assuming I read that right? I went to buy and was informed I already own a copy!)
Epic this week:
Felix The Reaper, 3D puzzler.
And always free but being highlighted yet again because there’s a new special bundle or something:
Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms
Couple of free Steam indie titles I know nothing about. OneShift (“a puzzle platformer where the player has the ability to freeze/unfreeze time and shift through worlds to collect blue cubes”) is free until Nov 9th and Bulb Boy ( a point-and-click puzzle game) is free until Nov 10th.
Calling itself a mix of Super Meat Boy and Geometry Wars, Will Glow The Wisp is free until the 11th.
Top down indie shooter 12 Is Better Than 6 is free until Nov 13th
Immortals Fenyx Rising is free on the Ubisoft Store. I bought it recently, at a deep discount luckily. Really enjoyed the graphics style and the opening act of the game. I did play it for a while, though several parts of the game loop grew tiresome as the difficulty ramped up.
I have never played Breath of the Wild, but people keep comparing the two games, usually not to IFYs advantage.
Is it though or is it free to play for a few weeks and then gone? The way they display it on their site with the monthly sub as an option and “play now” as opposed to add to account makes it unclear.
That looks like a monthly fee for Ubisoft+, which allows you to play all of their games and DLC for a single monthly fee. I’m pretty sure that that game is free if you download it by Dec. 2, but I’m also sure that they’ll hope that you buy DLC and a few micro-transactions if you get it. Or that you’ll simply buy the Gold Edition which is also heavily discounted at $15.
It should be legitimately free based on previous Ubi giveaways (and the use of the term giveaway, I guess). It’s also included in the Ubi pass.
As noted, it’s the base game so the hope is to get people to buy DLC and to download the Ubi Connect launcher, or whatever they call it these days.
When I logged in to my Ubisoft account, then clicked “play now”, it said it was added to my library.
Also, it offers multiple platform options but only the Ubisoft Connect option has it free.
I’ve heard a general negativity about the DLCs. Lazy is the word I hear.
It’s permanently free if you redeem it within the next few weeks – December 2 is just the end date of the giveaway.
There are a couple of games having a free weekend on steam. Age of Wonders 4 and King of Meat
The latter, oddly enough, has no announcement on the steam promotions front page like free weekends usually do, I saw it on an ad on reddit when I was on my phone. It makes me wonder if steam has other silent free weekends that they don’t announce anywhere. Very odd given that the whole free weekend concept is for promotion.
Epic this week is a three-fer:
ScourgeBringer, rogue-lite platformer.
Songs of Silence, turn-based strategy.
Zero Hour, tactical FPS with single-player and private or online multplayer.
For The King II is having a free weekend on steam
Er, I guess it’s from now until the 24th, so free week.
