Not complaining of course, but I've grabbed so many free games in the last few months that I've now forgotten that I've got them, some of which I haven't even installed yet.

AC II free now

Assassin’s Creed II

The acclaimed follow-up to Assassin's Creed features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance. Assassin's Creed II is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio...

I wonder since I already own this on DISC, does it still matter if I get it from here? Reason below is why I ask. (Was in a cheapo 2-Pack with the first.)

Install them! I've a lot of free games on GOG, some I even used to play in the 1990s, which I haven't gotten around to installing OR playing.

Just Cause 4 will be free on Epic from 16th April. I bought it on Steam when it first came out but refunded due to the lack of key binding edits and terrible graphics, so hopefully, those have now been sorted.
Still, free is free!

Just Cause 4 Reloaded

Rogue agent Rico Rodriguez journeys to Solis, a huge South American world home of conflict, oppression and extreme weather conditions. Strap into your wingsuit, equip your fully customizable grappling hook, and get ready to bring the thunder!

If you're wondering what improvements have been made to JC4 since launch, the graphics and AI have been greatly improved.

Weird, I have it on Steam and I'm sure that I haven't bought it.* It seems to support VR, so I should try it some day.

* It could be possible that I've bought it drunk since that happens sometimes. :rolleyes:

Ah shaite... I host my handbook, I had a written down 4 pages of instructions how to start a KA-50, DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark years ago...

Always wanted to get into a good flight sim but just didn't want to spend the money on a decent flight stick. Some of them are insanely priced.

Ye, but you need proper pedals for heli too, they gimp on those often. Even expensive ones.

Also I am hating nvidia a bit. Their surround sucks. You cannot do Portrait, Landscape, Portrait modes. The side instrument panel fits nicer with landscape by sides. Even if you would like to go hardcore, such small things will get on your nerve.

It has been reported to them, they do not care... AMD eyefinity seems to work, it is buggy also tho, as usual...

That is how I end up with quite a few games. Fallen Order and RDR2 included.

This and Lara Croft Go are great puzzlers and time-wasters on long-haul flights, so much so that you'll wonder where the hours went.
We have a long flight booked to the UK in September and these two games, which I bought some time ago, will be indispensable.
If the flight actually happens, that is.

AFAIK knack 2 is only for Germany and China due to the fact that Uncharted isn't available there.
