FREE Games List [2008-2021]

Company of Heroes 2 and its DLC Ardennes Assault both free on Steam til May 30th 1pm Eastern.

The CoH2 Case Blue DLC is free if you sign up for a newsletter at https://giveaway.companyofheroes.com/en/register. Apparently you can skip the newsletter by just entering your email (fake ones may work, too), accepting the Sega key redemption, then closing the window (without confirming your name and email). If you’re feeling crazy (for a free games thread), you can buy the CoH2 Master Collection to round up the rest of the DLCs. It’s $5.56, an all-time low, minus a bit for owning Case Blue (which is not well reviewed on Steam, so it’s really only worth claiming to make this bundle cheaper).

Little Nightmares free on Steam til May 30th 1pm Eastern.

Awesome, I remember being quite interested in CoH when it first launched but never got round to picking it up. The graphics made quite a splash back in the day, wonder how they hold up now.

Tried it out this morning. Its pretty good but doesn't properly support 21:9.

Which also means it wont support 32:10

No hope. The game does seem to support 21:9 as the menu's definitely work natively at that aspect ratio, but once in game it's black bars to the side. I suspect it's a deliberate choice given the claustrophobic atmosphere the game is pushing for. In this case they may even be right.

Great list. Since now Origin and Steam are giants in the gaming industry selling games, this list will be useful to those who just want to download and enjoy the game.

Reddit thread to help make sense of the bundle (Steam links ordered by Steam review score and a note if a game was previously included in the similarly generous Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality).

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Minion Masters has been F2P for a while now but you can now get the Scrat Infestation for free on Steam.

Museum of Other Realities and a DLC are free on Steam. VR required. It’s for virtual exhibits of VR art, I guess typically via paid admission (DLC).
