FYI save your purchase link because they do not add to your library and you have to manually click each one.

quite a few of those aren't actually games, and one of them is a collection of essays about metal gear solid (?????????). even without counting those, it still probably comes out to less than a penny per game.

Some of the solo TTRPGs are really interesting and that's a space that's been rapidly evolving and growing. There's also some sweet project management software in there.

That bundle is insanely good for the price. More recommendations: Blades in the Dark, which isn't a computer game but a crime-themed tabletop RPG book. It is a lot of fun if you're into roleplaying with friends. Usually retails for $20. Tonight We Riot, which is a political side-scrolling brawler based on fighting as a mob. 9/10 on Steam. Overland, a post-apocalyptic survival strategy game. Mixed reviews on Steam, but most of the negative reviews are from people who call it too difficult or unfair. It certainly is challenging, but in a fair and good way (see the many, many players who insisted that XCOM: Enemy Unknown was lying about to-hit percentages because they missed their 95% shots 1/20th of the time). The other, more valid complaint was that it was very short for the retail price of $25, which isn't an issue in this case. Airships: Conquer the Skies, an excellent 2D steampunk vehicle-builder. 9/10 on Steam. e: just realized this is the free games thread, whoops Kevin DuBrow fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jun 6, 2020 |

I have no idea why but Dream Daddy was added to this month's Twitch Prime offerings. Maybe pride month but why not just have it there from the beginning, when people are actually checking.

I paid a decent chunk extra even though on a first pass I only picked up a few decent games I've been meaning to get (Night in the Woods, Tonight We Riot, Airships, Wheels of Aurelia) and some others that seemed interesting, definitely worth it. There isn't a "basically free games (that used to be not basically free)" thread so thanks for posting about it DV. A distressing fraction of the content is just assets intended to be used in games rather than games but eh, it's still less than a cent per game It includes EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER which looks like trash but is described as "Gay disaster mech pilots killing fascists" so props for that stringless fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jun 6, 2020 |

From that absurdly vast bundle, I also recommend Minit and A Short Hike. One's super fun, the other is a 3 hour super relaxing experience for anyone who's been coping with anxiety lately. edit: and Oxenfree if you never played that before (it's been available for free at least twice) Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Jun 6, 2020 |

I got an itch.io bundle years ago and it's an amazing experience to just blind install a few games at random and give them 15 minutes each to win you over because even if most of them suck they're usually at least interesting and if you're lucky you do find something cool that's gone completely under the radar because there's just too many games now.Bottom Liner posted:Check out Tonight We Riot in the bundle. Game is cool af and looks great. It's basically a mediocre two hour Kongregate game in a coat of guillotine meme paint, it's not even really worth playing for free let alone the $15 they were charging for it IMHO.

Just use this link after logging in: https://itch.io/my-purchases/bundles Its in a terrible spot on the UI behind several clicks, you need to go to the top right dropdown menu next to your account name, then click my library, then click my purchases, then select bundles. It should show "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality" there. Or you know, use the link above I put. Obviously much easier.

I think Tonight We Riot is like a generous 4/10 and ideologically I'm the target audience 😬 it really does feel like a flash game made for some facebook "Guillotine Memes For Depressed Teens" group . But if people are enjoying it I'm happy for them!

Yeah this bundle is fantastic, but boy is it a pain to find a specific thing. Itch bundles clearly weren't designed for this many games. It'd be better if it looked the same as the actual "buy bundle" page, that way you can load all of them at once and see the little animated previews too.

I've loaded the bundle up on their Itch app for Windows, and while it's still not great at sorting and everything, at least you can click on the photo of the game to go to the store page and preview what it is. The app also works as a library like Steam, and handles installs/uninstalls too. That part at least is easy and convenient.

If GOG 2.0 incorporates itch.io accounts my game total on there is going to more than double.
