Day 11 freebie:

Night in the Woods (2017)

OpenCritic page

Windows/MacOS. Adventure game with puzzle elements. Consistently one of the top-rated games in itch.io's George Floyd bundle this past summer, but I haven't tried it yet.

Day 12 freebie:

Stranded Deep (early access since 2015)

OpenCritic page

Windows only. Survival game with periodic content updates. Released in a rushed state on consoles last April, and still considered "early access" on PC?

Day 13 freebie:

Solitairica (2016)

OpenCritic page

"Roguelike" card game. Windows only.

Day 14 freebie:

Torchlight 2 (2012/15)

OpenCritic page

Windows/MacOS.

Huh! Interesting...


GoG's partnership with Epic yields the other half of the 'proper' Metro Redux... ie, Metro: Last Light Redux. Gotta go to their frontpage and scroll to the fold. Freebie good until 2pm GMT on Jan 1st. Windows only.

Day 15 freebie:

Jurassic World: Evolution (2018)

OpenCritic page

Windows only.

Warframe's owner's owner's owner (Leyou, formerly a distributor of chicken) now has a new owner: Tencent. Hip-hip...

Mini-boss preview from Atomic Heart

"Atomic Heart 4K Next Gen Gameplay: Meet Plyush (Featuring Mick Gordon)"

I guess Epic’s back to weekly freebies. Ended kinda weak.

Crying Suns (2019)

OpenCritic page

A space-based "tactical rogue-lite" with a story PC Gamer says is "meticulously thought out and grandiose" in the vein of Asimov and Herbert. Nice soundtrack. Windows/MacOS. Click "View Offers" or scroll down.

Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition (2019)

OpenCritic page

Windows only. Base game + all the cosmetics up to the Skywalker update. This article from 2017 claims all the cosmetics through late 2017 alone would've cost $2100, so... yay, I guess.

Little Nightmares might be free until the 17th, but only at the Namco EU store, apparently... with a few hours delay for delivery of the Steam key. Promotion for Little Nightmares 2.

Galactic Civilizations 3 (2015)

OpenCritic page

Turn-based space strategy. Windows only. Lots of community content on Steam... but this isn't Steam.

Dandara: Trials of Fear edition (2018)

OpenCritic page

Metroidvania platformer with lots of awards. Includes the Trials of Fear expansion. Main character is based on a Brasilian warrior who used martial arts to defend a community of ex-slave fugitives in the 17th century. Windows & MacOs.

For the King (2018)

OpenCritic page

A co-op turn-based RPG with strategy & roguelike elements. Six game modes/adventures included (the original campaign for the king, dungeon crawl, frost adventure, hildebrant's cellar, gold rush, and into the deep), with the first paid expansion coming out this month.

They also tossed in the 2nd half of that Metro Redux that was briefly on GoG, Metro: Last Light Redux (2015). An interesting mythology of a post-nuclear-holocaust Moscow where there's more than just survival of our species at stake... but I still haven't played the first part of it, Metro 2033.

Windows only.

“Black Myth: Wukong - Chinese New Year greetings”

Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition (2017)

OpenCritic page

Revamped version of the original turn-based space "strategy RPG", plus most DLC. Windows.

Never played it, but I saw some YT videos a few years back and it looks so toxic I can't imagine how it could be enjoyable very long.

Rust recently entered renaissance not sure why never played it never cared but from what I gathered from streamers private/RP server is the way to enjoy the game with friends without toxicity.

New game to play .. what kind of games do you play?
