I've played Never Alone a fair bit with my youngest. She needed a bit of help with some of the mechanics when she was 4 but she mainly just enjoyed running around as a fox. She never wants to go past the halfway point but I can understand why that's the case.

This was one of those games that I thought that I could play while she just ran around as a fox but there's a fair amount of puzzle solving involved. She's almost 6 now and has no problems getting through the game.

Annoyingly, even though every installer knows how big every game is because they tell you as soon as you click Install, they don't give you the option to sort games by install size. What if I want to download only the smallest games!

Steam let's you know the install size of any game that isnt installed already on their profile in your library. I don't believe that you can sort them by size though.

Edit: I'm talking about the PC app here.

Apparently you can sort them out by size on Steam. I'm not at home to try it out but apparently there is an option to sort by "Size on disk".

GOG is also giving away a Warhammer Digital Goodie Pack on their frontpage that includes a free copy of Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000.

I remember having a demo of this when I was younger and playing it to death.

I had to reboot my router and this captcha was presented to me as I was trying to log back into EGS:

Technically, I can eat everything on display here.

Hell Division free on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/hell_division

Seems like you have to add this one to the basket and click through to place the order, rather than the usual one-click button.

Is there any way to delete items from your basket on a phone?

For some reason, GOG have decided to add Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty to my basket and there's no way for me to remove it.

This may be for the best right now as the reviews for Hell Division aren't exactly glowing.

This and the first game were a lot of fun to play.

The Night Of The Rabbit is free over at GOG to mark their fifteenth anniversary of being a website on the internet.

It's an okay adventure game. I think that I got it in a bundle and forgot about it until a couple of years ago.

Cat Quest 1 & 2 are legitimately fun games. I bought the 2nd one on the Switch and had a fun time with my kid playing it co-op.

I'm pretty sure that I still have both of my CD-ROMs for Fallout 1 & 2. Both games on full install were significantly less than 700mb.

The install size for Fallout on Steam is 562mb and 564mb for Fallout 2.

3gbs for language packs?!?

Imagine thinking you need a PCIe4 drive to run Fallout 1 and 2, though. You can get a 4TB external drive that will run the game perfectly fine with zero load times because it's still 20x faster than the drives from 1998, and it will run you barely $100 USD.

Can we not? $100 is a lot of money to a lot of people.

If you have the games digitally then I dont think anyone will care if you download the disc images of the games and run them that way to save on space. Even if you dont own the games digitally I'm sure that no one will care if you download them.

There are three DLCs free for Call of the Wild: The Angler that you may want to add alongside the main game while you're at it.
