^ Ghost of a Tale on EGS
That is a *nice* giveaway.
It's one of those ones I've been meaning to try for ages, but never quite gotten around to.

Epic's winter sale looks like it's begun. BloonsTD 6 (tower defence type thing) today with another dropping tomorrow. I assume they'll be one a day in the run up to chrimbo or new year.
The coupon is back, but it's a 25% off one rather than a tenner which is a shame as I was hoping to pick up Tony Hawks for a cheapskate price.

Can't quite see anything good on sale, so we'll see if the free games are worth firing up my browser at least. |

Aye, fingers crossed. Can't help wonder how much money they're still handing out to maintain all these freebies. I wish they'd add a gifting option to purchases - I would have thought it might have a been a source of some extra revenue pre-christmas/holidays.
I wonder if the goblet icon on tomorrow's panel is a clue?

Missed my opportunity to implore people to pick up Horizon Chase Turbo. Really cool game. You, uh, should've gotten it if you didn't.

Nice. I tried it on Game Pass, but the framerate on Series S was a bit too uneven. Let me see how it runs on my laptop. |

What did you make of the game otherwise? I like the look of the art style.

You can meet people and complete quests for them. Didn't seem too bad, but I prefer more exciting stuff. Could see it being very relaxing if you like the kind of game though. |

Them's Fightin' Herds (looks like a my little pony-esque 2D fighter) is today's epic freebie. Seems to be regarded well enough on Steam reviews.

Another previous giveaway today - Wolfenstein: the new order.
Possibly a Lego game tomorrow looking at the brick on tomorrow's wrapper graphic.

I know they're free games but nothing's really blowing my skirt up currently.

Sable and Ghost of a Tale were both pretty nice giveaways imho.

I'd given up and then forgotten about it, but Rebellion just emailed me a key for AvP 2000.

That's pretty cool, it might actually be a freebie I actually download!

Supports ray tracing for extra shiny effects iirc.

Very nice, and fairly recent too. Plus it runs well even on relatively weak hardware.

Well I didn't see any of that. For some reason it originally defaulted to 4K max quality and full RT (even though I don't have a RT card), I turned RT off and kept lowering settings to medium at 1080p and it was still wrecking my GPU before just crashing. By far the most demanding game I've ever had installed.
After that it wouldn't even start anymore, I tried its own launcher with DX11 mode and "Classic Mode" and whatever but nothing worked anymore, it was dead, even after reboot. Gave up and uninstalled.

Bummer. Maybe your hardware is objectively weak instead of relatively weak.
