Ironcast was fun, I played it ages ago on Steam. It's more like Puzzle Quest and has a strategy/character building element. It can be super frustrating though unless they did a balance pass.

Never managed to win with anything other than the default load out tbh.

Played a couple hours of it last night, I like it so far. It's a weird mix of match 3/mech/rpg/roguelike but it scratches an itch for me.

Free game: Symphonia which just released on GOG. I think it will stay free after its launch window, but I couldn't find the confirmation so if you care about that grab it now.

Or try it because it's a cool, short platformer.

Offworld Trading Company is a solid city-builder/management sim with a sci fi setting. I enjoyed it.

As somebody who grew weary of the RTS genre long ago, I really enjoyed Offworld Trading Company.

It almost plays more like a real time board game about building your city and competing for resources and each round only lasts about 30 minutes. It was quite refreshing.

I dunno how this works, but apparently you can download some intel app and fill out a survey and get Cuphead, and if you play some Genshin Impact (free) and Among Us (was free on Epic) you can level up and win codes for other stuff. Maybe USA only?

In the rewards page, it keeps mentioning that 'after you complete this level, you may choose one of these games, with limited quantities' so Id bet that there's about 10 copies of Cuphead and a million amongus skin packs or other such addons. The full games are probably out of stock by the time anyone gets to em

Not itself a game, but game-related. The official app for rolling dice for Genesys (Fantasy Flight Games' generic RPG system) is now free, I think it used to be a paid product

It's part of Amazon Prime. No extra charge on top of that, basically just linking an Amazon and Twitch account.

Oh definitely. Even when you play EA games from Steam or Epic Games, it requires you to install the Origin client and have it run in the background (although they no longer force you to actually interact with the awful Origin UI).

RIght?! Makes no loving sense. Friend of mine wants to play Battlefront 2 sometimes, which is only on Origin far as I can tell. Set up EA Desktop planning to try out EA Play stuff. No Battlefront 2, so I have to sit on both. Twitch gave away Battlefield 1 recently, not on EA Desktop.

Even better, I just tried to start up Origin while I had EA Desktop open... and it throws up an error message saying you can't run them both at the same time. :ughh:

Remind me to register for a free trial on the 29th (exactly a week from now). If it works, I can get Battlefield 5 as well (which... I have literally no idea what kind of game that is. Generic near-future, I guess?)

WWII. I stopped playing after becoming a Tiger tank commander in Berlin '45 because I figured ya know, probably gonna lose this fight anyway.

It's been free twice now, it'll come around again I'm sure. I would highly recommend it, I ended up buying it off a goon from a humble bundle for like $3 I think? Then I got it free on EGS like 5 months later.
