Less of a free game, more a chance of a free game, but Moddb's been running recurring giveaways for random, unknown indie games for the last little while: http://www.moddb.com/giveaways

You need an account to enter the draw.

So this is far from scientific, but despite going F2P ("No it's not eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" - Randy Pitchford), Steamcharts shows under 400 people playing Battleborn as of 35 minutes ago. :lol:

But hey, since I posted that, it's gone up to a whopping 719!

Dead Space is free on Origin, still very good I'd imagine. https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/store/dead-space/dead-space/standard-edition

I liked DS2 just as much as DS1, if not more. It's the Aliens to the first game's Alien in terms of ratcheting up the action. Plus the first game stopped being scary just as soon as you upgraded some of its ludicrously satisfying weaponry.

Seriously, those two have some of my favourite sci-fi guns in video games, they're just so chunky and fun to use.

Probably the wrong thread to say this in, but I'm actively avoid free games unless it's something I really want to play. I managed to (mostly) defeat my backlog, I don't want it resurrecting.

I would love this. FreeSpace was so good. I hope theres a resurgence of the space dog-fighter genre with the star wars game coming out.

Thaaaaat looks to be PVP-focused and is even going for the e-sports 5v5 thing. Would be very surprised if the campaign was anything more than a perfunctory sideshow.

You are probably right about those guesses. One can hope though! I backed Everspace 2 to scratch adjacent to that itch in the meantime.

Did you play the demo? It's way more Freelancer than 'Space. It's also still available on Steam, actually.

Skylords Reborn, a fan-run resurrection of Battleforge just came out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ1DfYM7eIk

Battleforge was a card-based RTS made by the makers of the original Spellforce games that came out, like, a decade ago before eventually getting discontinued and shut down by EA. Obviously inpired by Magic the Gathering, the game features four different colours (Fire, Ice, Dark, Nature) as well as, later, hybrid factions, each with their own set of units, emplacements and spells. It's got singleplayer and co-op campaigns, PVP and a whole host of player-made scenarios and the current devs plan to support the game with new content and events. I really enjoyed Spellforce back in the day and am looking forward to diving back in! The whole thing's completely free and available at:

I just recently finished TQ and it still held up surprisingly well. Word of warning though; optimization in the Atlantis DLC is downright shoddy. If you decide to buy it and experience stuttering, try running the game in DX9 mode.

I think the giveaway doesn't include either DLC.

No, it has a single-player campaign where you go back and forth between a rebel pilot and one for imperials, with your squadron allies that you can talk to in between missions.

It's a pretty bad campaign tho, played it earlier this year and was left disappointed.
