Sorry to be a complete daft ....but what is this? @pigulici
These are not the actual games, right? Currently, i am downloading a 4,3GB with Witcher 3 I can't find a proper description on the GOG website.

P.S. : scientist predicts that this lock-down will be 18 months long. this is so scary

Call of Duty is free on Steam!

Sorry, I meant GOAT OF DUTY. The game looks like absolute blast. Quake 3 only better.

Sometimes I think Ubisoft just enjoys giving us double DRM in every possible way.

Still, worth a look!

 

[lexluthermiester]

With all of these free games from Epic and Humble choice does anyone still buy fully priced games on Steam?

Not me and not because I can't afford it. I'm just not willing to pay anywhere near full price for DRM limitations.

Now if you ask that same question about games on GOG? Oh yeah, I regularly pay full price there for my games as well as gifts to others. I respect devs who treat me like a person and valued customer as opposed to platform who treat people like thieves by default. That's just my opinion and perspective though, not everyone feels the same way. Shame really..

Anodyne 2: Return to Dust

Perfect example, while getting it free on Epic is kinda cool I would still rather pay full price and get a version guaranteed to be DRM free and mine for life. If Epic ever shuts down you'll never have access to it after that, whereas on GOG, even if they shut down as long as you downloaded the installer you have it and own it for life. Free isn't always free. DRM free is always excellent!

There is a number of good games in that list, unfortunately I have the ones I'd want, but still good stuff!

Free to keep or only free to play during this period?

Free to keep or only free to play during this period?

The link for Assassins Creed Odyssey shows the following:
PLAY FOR FREE THIS WEEKEND
From March 19 to March 22, you will be able to access the full Assassin's Creed Odyssey experience for free. Be ready and preload the game now!

So it's just free to play for 3 days.

 

[basco]

just a hint for playing AC odyssey on "older" hardware:
my 5960x at 4,1ghz did a lot better with hyperthreading=off pushing my min fps from 30 to 44 and if ya care max fps from 70 to double+
i did try to change settings like ambient occlusion from ultra to off which gives circa 3 fps and tried others bur that did not help much either.

This was on my wishlist, now it's free! Yay, maybe? Hope it plays offline...

it does. it has local split-screen for 2 players. you can 2 players co-op online as well, simply drop in drop out mechanics in any part of the level. 4 characters with different abilities to chose from. it really is a great co-op

as for the Tomb Raider,if you have not played it yet - it has the best emotional story in the entire trilogy. worth it for the story.
However, the game has so many DLC's and a very important anniversary edition with remastered up to date graphics - sadly in this free version none are present.
