Redout with all the extras is $10 on http://chrono.gg. It’s tempted me a dozen times at or around this price point, but… I could just play Wipeout Fusion right now, or BallisticNG, which has been quietly updating for at least 18 months since I last played it.
There should be new chrono.gg coin shop games on the 20th if you’ve got some coins saved up.

Redout’s easily my favorite WIpeout-like, I enjoy it a fair bit more than several iterations of the “real” series. That’s $10 for an absolute boatload of tracks, too.

1725

It’s definitely boardgamey. I think it could be done, with a lot of house keeping from the players. It’d be incredibally tedious to play, however .

PS There’s a thread about it here:

1728

I think most people who wanted those games have played them by now. Still, a pretty awesome giveaway.

1729

I have all the Arkham games on Steam, so I just claimed the Lego ones.

1730

Not enough Batman? GMG has the first Injustice for 50 cents. I liked the story mode for that, and if anyone gets really into it there’s a great comic series.

Android freebies:

If you already have Downwell you need to grab it again. Your old one was delisted.

1731

more Android on sale for free (among many many more):

1732

The Untitled Goose Game has launched and is currently on-sale on the Epic Games Store.

The Staff Picks 2019 Pick-A-Mix offers 24 titles to choose from at $1 each, or 3 for $2.49, or 5 for $3.49. You can’t go wrong with Dungeon Rats, We Are The Dwarves, Heroes of Monkey Tavern, Republique and Sword Legacy Omen all for $3.49.

The RPG Pick and Mix Bundle features 15 Indie RPG titles at any 5 for $1.99.

Adventure Pick and Mix has 24 games to choose from at 5 for $1.99, 10 for $3.79 or 15 for $4.99. Some decent stuff to choose from including Distrust, Morningstar, Supreme League of Patriots and more.

The Strategy Pick and Mix has 15 titles. You can snag all 15 for $4.99 and score a great deal, but if you only want 5 for $1.99 then I would recommend Fantasy Wars, Ascension to the Throne, Pandora : First Contact, Star Wolves and one of my personal favorite hidden gems, Strategy and Tactics : Dark Ages.

The Fanatical Star Deal today is Moon Hunters for $2.99 (80%)

Humble Store has State of Decay one of the best zombie games in recent years, on sale for a measly $3.99 (80%). It looks like this is just the regular edition, which isn’t supposed to be sold anymore, but if it’s the Year One Survival Edition, it would be a STEAL at $4.

Steam has ARPG Tower of Time on sale for $7.50 (70%) plus Conan Games are free to play this weekend and on sale for up to 50% off.

1734

Dammmn. I guess I’m going to have to install the Epic launcher sooner or later, to play all these free games I have.

1735

I was thinking about this one for Shadwen, Eador and Life is Feudal.

1736

But will you play all those free games? I’ve been collecting all these freebees (dozens of them now) and even got Control with my video card, but I’ve yet to play a single one. My backlog is so huge that I’m more about collecting the games now than actually playing them. Not that I’m ever going to complain about getting free games but it’s impossible to even try the games let alone dedicate any time to playing them.

I remember back in the day when a game would launch and it’d be my main game for months before I’d even buy a new one. Now I get a half dozen for free in one day.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Enchanted Bundle, @SlainteMhath. I wanted to get Syberia 3 (although it’s not all that great, I read) to complete the collection and this is a pretty good way to do it.

Not me! I own none of them but have always been curious.

1739

I’ve only played one of them for a few minutes, but do the Arkham games feature character progression? Does Batman gain new tools/abilities as the game progresses? Not sure what the draw of the games is if he has every ability already when the game starts. (I was not impressed by the little bit of brawling combat that I experienced.)

1740

Oh yes they do.

To me, Asylum is by far the best. There is something about that unity of place and time that feels so compelling.

1741

That’s good news. Batman is my favorite superhero character.

1742

Yep, the 1st Arkham game is the best, but the 2nd is also good. Arkham Knight is my least favorite of the series.
