Totally Free game from DontKnod, the studio behind Vampyr and Life is Strange, and set in the Life is Strange universe, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, available on Steam!

I'll try it as soon as I finish Prey, but it's already installed. It looks like they still know how to tug at heart strings.

I have been playing this game called Valheim. It is free alpha right now before the developer releases it for sale on steam later this year. Here is a link and some of the screenshots. It is a viking themed survival game with procedurally generated worlds. The PVM is fairly difficult and I think the graphics are enjoyable to look at. I was having a lot of fun with my friends playing this. Kind of like a Viking version of The Forest, with a PVM focus. The game is pretty early in development but it plays quite well. Check it out here:

Absolver free for the weekend on steam

kastriot · Aug 3, 2018

Free for weekend it's not free because you can't keep it so it's basically useless, but it's analogy when drug diler gives you free round 1st time and then you get hooked.

Why? You can binge play for 48 hours and finish 90% of games in that time. In some twisted way you've actually made money then

Posted about this in the strategy forum, any C&C Tiberian Sun and OpenRA fans, Shattered Paradise has been released. It is a mod on OpenRA that brings TS to it with some tweaks to the TS forumula, some QoL changes, and OpenRA-style gameplay and inspired UI.

It is actually pretty cool, the effects and lighting are of course improved over vanilla TS. I do warn that the gameplay is different, so if you're used to OpenRA, you know what to expect here. If you're looking for a pure vanilla TS experience, you might check out CNCNet.org's version instead. Even so, I strongly suggest folks try out what is currently available with the newly released Shattered Paradise. Yes it is in an alpha state, but it is a pretty fun experience overall that I suggest anyone that is into RTS and C&C-series games gives a go!

Are you referring to OF: Dragon Rising? If so, it plays just fine at 1920x1080.

Not sure what you're talking about, but it sounds like you need to start a new thread dedicated to getting help with an issue and providing more details in that new topic. :toast:

Ingnomia is out on Steam ... very early alpha. It's a freeware remake of Gnomoria, which aimed to be Dwarf Fortress with some graphics and a better UI but was abandoned by the developer, though some people have +1000h in it so I assume it's good enough...

Anyway, Ingnomia is the freeware version.
