For anyone with an Apple iOS device (iPhone, iPad), Bastion is currently free (apparently, until December 31st). It might also be free on Android/Google Play, but I'm not sure. I'm only mentioning this since it is generally thought of as a PC/console game.

This is sort of a 2-step process. You'll need to download the game, then unlock the full game (for free) with an in-app "purchase" (it's free, so you're not actually paying anything).

Rayman Legends was free on Uplay like 2 years ago.

I know it is actually a decent game and the Graphics hold up too. Oh well another game to add to my Epic library. It is funny to me that I have more games on EPic than GOG even though I have bought exactly one game on EPic.

Exactly, even if I have a game in an another platform's library, why not grab it also for the Epic's one.

e: In fact I have Rayman Origins on Uplay, not Legends, so that's cool.

Is it still free on UPlay? If so, please provide a link or this post is irrelevant to this topic and provides the community an example of what shouldn't be posted here.

This goes to everyone involved in this topic, please post about current free games relevant to the topic. Doesn't matter if it was free prior if it isn't today. The point is to share your findings of free games with the community so they can enjoy them too. Let's keep it simple and focused on that please.

I wonder why TellTale Games is listed in the end of trailer. I thought they were gone? So what studio is doing it? Good questions I will have to research when I get a chance.

Another company (I don't remember who) bought up the assets and licenses of the former Telltale Games and is using the Telltale Games name also. I think I recall that they offered positions to some of the staff from the former Telltale Games but they aren't permanent jobs. Just hired for each individual game with no promises of further employment after the game is finished.

Ah, yes. It was LCG Entertainement and AdHoc Studio. Yeah, the assets split, with all the Walking Dead Telltale Games going to Skybound Games, owned by Robert Kirkman. So AdHoc will be making The Wolf Among Us 2. The first is one of my top 50 games ever, so I hope they do it justice.
