Depends. CK3 is a lot simpler to learn, much less going on.

That would be a good thing, but both are so complex you might as well go for CK2 for the greater immersion.

Also GOG FTW.

Finally a free game I would want shows up and I already own it, Hunter: COTW.

Can only hope this is the start of a trend back towards Tomb Raider and other broadly desirable games. (Well aware hunting won't be for everyone.)

That looks interesting! I have a few friends that love the Diablo-type Point&Click adventure games. Going to point them in the direction of that series. Thanks for posting this!

EDIT:
Looks like the first title in the series is on give-away as well.

Not a PC game, but McDonald's, of all companies, released a small game for the Game Boy Color.


Apparently, if you have a flash cart, you can run it on actual hardware. I ran it on my hacked DSi.

I personally wish they'd lower their outrageous prices and maybe treat their employees better, but this is still pretty neat.

Just seen this on Amazon Prime Gaming:

View attachment 302492

Are they seriously going to give away Diablo IV? or just some lame loot?

It was just released earlier this month. Top dollar value.

You do need Amazon Prime though, so not exactly free..

Other titles there are Prey and the EE versions of Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights.

I just checked my Amazon Prime UK account and it was under the free loot section as opposed to the giveaway games section but it may be different for other regions.

correct, it is not the game but some in-game items. Maybe a mount or something. "Now through Prime Day, claim this special lineup of free games and in-game items with Prime" (there is a small banner next to each game which is "free game", the in-game item banners just have "prime" next to them)

Thanks, gonna grab a GOG key from key resellers. :cool: Currently they are going for as low as 0,22€.


Already got the game for STEAM, but for that price it would be stupid not to go for it.
