Title: Current FREE Games Promotions
Post by: MP-Ryan on December 16, 2017, 03:04:15 am
RULES (Please?):


I'll prune the thread periodically, but other moderators are welcome to help out as well.  We're going to try to keep this to a single page topic.

EDIT:  A good find by Mongoose, we can also refer to this Gamespot list which is periodically updated but not always current: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/free-games-available-for-download-on-pc-ps4-xbox-o/1100-6474874/

The basic version of Crusader Kings II is currently free on Steam. By the looks of things you'd have to drop a few hundred on all of the DLC, though. What is this thing, Train Simulator?

Also free on GOG.com as well
...y'know, I came here with every intention of posting that it was on GOG, but I think my brain substituted Steam without me realizing it, and I didn't even know I'd typed that instead until you posted. :lol:

Anyways, something called Sigma Theory is GOG's next sale giveaway.

Meanwhile, the original Half-Life (https://store.steampowered.com/app/70/HalfLife/) is free on Steam until November 20.

This is neat, even if you own it already. It comes with a few engine tweaks and includes the "Half-life: Uplink" demo

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Is free on Epic until the 15th. This is one of those games that was important to me, so I highly recommend it (do mind the content warnings though)

Also something called Lost Castle. I haven't heard of it, but it's free

This is a good shout,  I can make one for my kids that teaches the value of tidying their room or giant world ending monsters will haunt them at night.
