GOG has The King of Fighters 2002 free right now too, although I'm told it's not a very good version of it in that you can't rebind keys or something? Haven't tried myself. There's always fightcade though.

I've never disliked the main character of a video game in the first twenty minutes as much as the dude from Deponia. I loving love point and click adventure games but holy hell did they ever go out of their way to make him an obnoxious piece of absolute poo poo. I'm not against rear end in a top hat characters as a general rule in narratives but I seriously could not handle his bullshit. I think their idea of humour just doesn't really mesh with mine. Jackbox is good though.

It also seems to add it to your humble account library, so I'm assuming you can redownload from there.

I played it a while ago on steam and thought it was reasonably boring, and the camera completely blows. I can't say I hated it, but I didn't like it enough to stick with it beyond the second chapter or whatever. For the price of free though that's not a bad deal.

Stickman posted:Two more 100% off codes from Reddit for Big Fish Games: Last time there were freebies I grabbed a bunch fully intending to ignore them like every other free game I get on Epic or Steam, but I was off work for a few days and bored out of my skull so I picked up one of the hidden object games for a trial run. They are really good for what they are. I stuck with mostly horror/mystery ones as it was close to halloween. Some quick reviews: Maze: Subject 360 was the first one I tried, and it was surprisingly engaging. I'd never played a hidden object game before, but they seem like a natural progression of the old point-and-click adventure games that I loved so much as a kid, interspersed with images that you look around for a list of items. In this one, the main character crashes her car on a lonely stretch of road and ends up in a town where all of the inhabitants are trapped in an unwakeable sleep. It's your goal to try to figure out what happened and get the hell out of dodge while avoiding the creepy supernatural little girl. Not the most original story, and it doesn't get too heavy, but it's quite fun. Apparently there's a ton of entries in this series, which also seems true of EVERY game in their catalogue. I get the impression they pump them out really quickly, which is partially why I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the game. I don't know that I'd have been happy to pay twenty bucks for it, but I still don't think I'd feel ripped off at that price tag either; there's a lot of content here, with bonus games and collectibles and the like. Mystery Case Files: The Black Veil was the next I tried, and while I didn't like it as much as the previous game, I'm not sure how much of that was just because of how new and unexpected the first game was for me. This one is also quite good, and seems to be a very long-running series for the devs. You play as a world-renowned detective, and you find yourself investigating a town that has the population aging extremely quickly. It's an interesting enough narrative, but again doesn't go into anything too heavy, although there was some pretty interesting spooky imagery. This one seemed to lean a bit heavier on the hidden object scenes rather than puzzles like the previous game, but this might again be a biased position from the surprise the first one was. Phantasmat was the next I played, although I stupidly got the regular edition rather than the collector's one that I linked. Not sure what the difference would be, but there were less side games and bonus content, with no collectibles, so that's probably it. Another main character crashing a car in a strange place only to find themselves in a supernatural situation, this time in a strange hotel in the middle of the woods. This game definitely had a bigger focus on the hidden object scenes rather than the point-and-click stuff, which isn't as fun for me, but the narrative of this one is probably the strongest. Not exactly subtle in its approach, it would feel right at home with a Goosebumps book or an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? or something, but fun enough. And that's all I've tried so far. I have two more downloaded and ready to go, but maybe I'll try a non-hidden-object one next.

Lester Shy posted:Did they ever finish the story mode in TLD? Is it worth playing? I put a few dozen hours into survival mode a few years ago, but it always got too bleak and depressing for me to make much progress. I bought it last year and it's the only game I've ever refunded, because the store advertised a deep engrossing story but didn't mention that only the first "episode" was finished, with no timeline for it being actually completed. It was basically an early access game that wasn't branded as such. From a bit of digging it looks like they've since doubled that to TWO whole episodes out of five planned with no timeline for when it'll be finished! Value! Aside from that, for the survival mode, walking up or down slight inclines had a thirty percent chance to shatter your ankles and the game was just loving miserable to play, not in the good way. There's also no end or goal beyond surviving as long as possible in survival mode, so if "finishing" a game is something that's important to you, this one might be frustrating. No idea how it is now, but that's my experience with it. I'm sure it's worth the pricetag of your email address or whatever though. Reviews seem positive in general.

I was really out of it for one of these giveaways and kept the box checked, and was confused about entering payment info but did it anyway because I'm an idiot. It's paid off though; with all the free games they give away I think I've filled out 3 punch cards and gotten more free games that way. I'm really loving these dumb hidden object games. I never thought I would bother with them when I got the first few, but COVID quarantine left me with nothing much to do and it was the start of a journey. For the people upthread asking about a kid friendly game, Awakening: The Dreamless Castle was definitely that, with no horror or objectionable content, and I'm positive it was given away for free specifically in this thread a while ago because I would likely not have picked it myself. It's basically a fairy tale that you control but with puzzles and hidden object games. For people looking for recommendations, I posted a bunch of suggestions previously that I've enjoyed, and I'd just like to add The 12 Labours of Hercules as a fun way to mindlessly kill a few hours. It's not a hidden object game, but a "time management" game where you send out servants to mine resources or pick up food or whatever, which lets you get rid of roadblocks or fix bridges or build houses, which lets you pick up more resources and so on. Each level has an objective or two to complete and each level only takes five minutes-ish, it feels like it was designed as a phone game where they expect you to play in short bursts. Fun though.

Fat Samurai posted:Vampyr today on Epic. It's a solid 7/10 RPG. The "interesting ideas and decent amount of jank" 7/10 rather than the "completely bland but competent" 7/10. I was super disappointed in the second half of the game and the gimmick about feeding on main characters felt kind of half baked to me. The constantly respawning enemies made travelling around annoying as hell. Worth trying out though imo

SUPERHOT was fun and I played it for free when the Ubisoft store had a data leak and they gave me access to their subscription service for free for a month Yoku's Island Express is also very good and is a strange mish-mash of pinball and metroidvania with a lighthearted atmosphere, big recommend

Tyranny is extremely cool and was shaping up to be one of my favourite crpgs but then it just... ended... Like out of the blue, ended. Building up to something loving awesome, and then nope it's over. Still really worth playing but it does feel unfinished, even in the gameplay in some ways. Crafting your own spells was really unique and fun though. I did not play the DLC.

Chiming in to say Odyssey is an actual legit really good game, franchise be damned. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it after not really liking any post-Black Flag games in the series. I haven't played Origins or any of the newer ones but both me and the wife got really into Odyssey, and she doesn't really play games much. It's huge but it's well done.

LISA: The Painful is one of my top 5 games and has really nice worldbuilding and writing. It's rare to have something tread a line between absurd comedy and extremely dark subject matter so tactfully, and it has one of the most impactful and memorable endings of anything I've ever played. It is extremely jank in some less than pleasing ways, like in combat and difficulty, but if you can get around the difficulty and find the fun you're in for an amazing experience. I plowed through the definitive edition when it dropped and liked the additions well enough. Just keep in mind that if an early NPC asks you if you're the kind of person who would enjoy a challenging game mode, SAY NO. It's hard mode and it, among other things, makes save points single-use, which changes things a lot. Also the expansion/DLC/semi-sequel, whatever you want to call it, is kind of bad (imo, some people really like it) so don't feel bad about not playing it. It does not tie the story up nicely in a way you might hope for.

FishMcCool posted:Doesn't Lisa's story include stuff like rape, torture and child abuse? Because I feel like this is kind of understated both here and on the game's Steam page and should be at least mentioned in passing to prospective players. Yep, in varying amounts. They aren't ever-present or anything, but they are in there. They are definitely not portrayed as positive things.
