I installed the Epic launcher shortly after Fortnite came out. Played a few rounds and then immediately uninstalled it again. Subnautica has been on my list for a while, so it was worth a new install.
I just finished my first session - played long enough to craft the first few tools. What a gorgeous game.
I’m with you on that. SMB style games and impossibly hard games really are not my bag but can’t beat free so I’ll give it a go.
I was super excited about Subnautica, downloaded it and…promptly realized my PC graphics card can’t handle it 
Hell, even opening the Epic Games launcher takes like 5+ minutes to accomplish. I’m in desperate need of a new card and more RAM but I can’t afford either. Damn capitalist society.
Sins of a Solar Empire free on steam for at least 24 hours.
At least you have it now, and can wait until you can afford the new hardware.
Most of the time I don’t worry about the settings of a game, but this one you really want to play at the highest settings you can manage. The ripple of the surface, the glow of bioluminescence, the shine of light through deep waters are all breathtaking.
Caribbean colonial city/empire builder Anno 1602 is free (to keep) from Ubisoft until the 22nd.
Ubisoft will give you a free copy of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey if you test-play a demo of the game via Chrome’s Project Stream for 1 hour.
Neat. Looks like Project Stream is invite only, you can fill out a form and they’ll let you know if you’re accepted: Stadia
LEGO: Lord of the Rings is free on Humble Bundle “while supplies last.” You have to subscribe to their newsletter to get it, but it counts if you already are like I was.
Note: When you claim it, you have to go down to the bottom of the “here’s your claim” page and activate it on steam. The steam key expires in a week or so, so be sure to activate on your steam library when you claim it from humble bundle or you won’t end up getting it.
EDIT: Just wanted to say I’ve been an appreciative fan of this thread for a while now. Happy to finally contribute something!
Good find. I thought I just got Lego Lord of the Rings for free, but that was Lego The Hobbit. Too many free games to play these days, but it’s a good problem to have.
Game might be free but Humble Store made me click on a whole bunch of crosswalks, busses, traffic lights, and motorcycles to get it. Their site still hasn’t given me access to a key, they seem to be having traffic issues.
ETA: Finally got it, third time trying.
I didn’t get any Captchas, but I got the “verify your computer” for the hundredth time (yes I’m sure it’s the same computer) followed by several clickthrus of Get Game > Get Game > Go here to get the key.
Soma free for 48 hours on gog
Lego The Hobbit and LOTR free on humble bundle.
Super meat boy free on epic games launcher.
“LEGO The Hobbit and LEGO LOTR is no longer available for purchase.”
Slightly late but thanks guys for sharing about subnautica. Im hooked! (Pun unintended)
What Remains of Edith Finch is free on the epic store.
Blast Zone Tournament is currently free on the Steam Store.
A Story About My Uncle is free on Humble Store until the 12th (or while supplies last)
Free Humble games tend to have an expiration on their keys so activate it when you get it instead of letting it sit in your purchases. Humble also likes to drown me in captchas so that’s fun. “Pick the bus” twenty times is like an extra game in of itself, right?
Guess who won one of the DOSBox giveaway bundles on Gog?
I have 19 new (old) games, most of which I never heard of. I wasn’t even all that interested in winning, and I certainly didn’t expect to because I never win anything. Color me surprised.
For the record, the games are:
[ul]
[li]Earthworm Jim 1+2: The Whole Can 'O Worms[/li][li]Heroes of Might and Magic®[/li][li]Realms of Arkania 1+2[/li][li]Master of Magic[/li][li]Last Express, The[/li][li]Dungeon Keeper Gold™[/li][li]Wing Commander ®: Privateer ™[/li][li]Slipstream 5000[/li][li]Little Big Adventure 2 (Twinsen’s Odyssey)[/li][li]Crusader: No Regret™[/li][li]Theme Hospital[/li][li]Carmageddon Max Pack[/li][li]Tomb Raider 1+2+3[/li][li]Magic Carpet™ 2: The Netherworlds[/li][li]Syndicate Wars™[/li][li]Caesar[/li][li]Jazz Jackrabbit Collection[/li][li]Epic Pinball: The Complete Collection[/li][li]AND the stretch goal (??? for a contest?): Fantasy General[/li][/ul]
Now I guess I’ll have to learn how to use DOSBox so I can at least look at 'em all.
Wierd - Steam says the key I got from HB isn’t valid
