Video Game Deals Catch-All

Epic free game

Wizard of legend

Honestly highly recommended. Good action game with a cool style. Which is why I'm fairly disappointed with the sequel so far...

Thanks for reminder

These are probably price drops rather than 'deals', but Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now down to £35.99 on Amazon (down from £69.99). Amazon also has what they're claiming is a limited time offer on Star Wars Outlaws of £37.99.

I was somewhat surprised to see The Veilguard being discounted so heavily less than two months after release, and at a lower price than Outlaws. But I guess it has much less general appeal.

However, neither price is quite low enough for me to justify adding either to my pile, so I will pass. I'm thinking £22 for Dragon Age, and £25 for Star Wars...

Epic doing free DLC today.

Dark and Darker - Legendary Status upgrade.

Probably gonna skip that. Never played the game and no time for online things I can't pause right now

What? A currency pack for an EARLY ACCESS free to play game doesn't sound enticing? Pshaw

Definitely skipping it.

You laugh but I used to work with a guy who would play any MMO there was, but only if it was still in beta. The moment it released he noped out and had no interest.

Oddly enough might be a good way to limit your MMO input. Course these days some of them never leave beta.

Dark and darker was a bunch of fun when I first tried it. Then the lawsuit happen and had no interest to go back since.

What was the lawsuit?

Skipping here also. I have been grabbing all these free games that I will NEVER play. That makes no sense. I also have no control

I mean I did that a bunch way back in college and right after when poor. Jumpgate. One of the flying MMOs, can't remember the name. Did some paid WoW and CoH, then beta LotR, beta KotOR, etc

Basically they got accused of stealing the code and design from there former employer. A larger studio I forget the name. Based on what little I read they probably did do that. Everyone thought they were toast but seems like they cut a deal or something.

Not why I lost interest. Really should try it again.

I think that’s why he played that way as well. He liked play I g them but didn’t want to pay the monthly fee.

Looks like Dredge is the new Epic free game. However it isn't available yet for me. Amazon just had that one so I already have it on GOG.

Control is the free Epic game today!!!

Which is nice, but I already have it from a previous giveaway!

Someone I saw online pointed out that pretty much everyone who gives away games have given away Control, but only Prime Gaming gave away the GOG Ultimate Edition. Unfortunately for me, I missed that one.

Yeah repeat. But still nice for some

Epic Freebie: GhostRunner II
I think I played the first one and couldn't clear the first level because it's a first person timing-based platformer and I am terrible at those.

Probably the same for me, but it was the demo.

Dude, Jumpgate was great!

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is 90% off on Steam. Fairly new game. Not great reviews, but if you're a grimdark fan it's an easy buy.

DEATHLOOP is 84% off on Fanatical. If you did not play this yet, please do. Give yourself an hour or so to figure it out, I promise you - it's phenomenal. I'll never get over not playing it when it was all the rage.

Talking about rage, RAGE 2 is 84% off on Fanatical. Excellent open-world FPS. Funny, gorgeous looking, excellent combat and runs like a charm.

Telltale's Tales from the Borderlands is at histrical low: 90% off on Steam. You know it's good.

Waitwaitwait! Please, do not give up on it! Try the first Ghostrunner, first.

It is extremely frustrating initially, but once you get in the zone and catch the flow, it is a dopamine waterfall.

There is a reason the respawn is instant. You will die dozens of times in each level, probably. That's fine.

Even better, if you want to get a similar experience to get in the groove for it, SPRAWL is a good stepping stone, regardless of the fact that SPRAWL was inspired by Ghostrunner, rather that the other way around.

SPRAWL has somewhat similar movement mechanics (wall running and limited time slowdown, in particular), but it also has ranged weapons and no grapple, so it's more "normal".

When you get comfy in SPRAWL, Ghostrunner will be just about making sure you have to dash and dodge your way to katana range in addition.

Ghostrunner is one of a kind, don't miss it.

Today's Epic game is Hot Wheels Unleashed. Can't check out again. Probably servers overloaded. Will try later.

Might be a bit more severe than that. The first attempt locked up my Epic client. Trying to check out again after restarting brought me to this error message:

Got the same. But Cloudflare I assume is seeing it as a DDOS or similar and auto-blocking clients.

EDIT: People saying the same thing on X: https://x.com/EpicGames/status/18726...

EDIT: Whenever you check out, look for the free DLC as well. Fun Pack.

Same result here. I have to End Task to exit the Epic client. The problem is obviously on their end so I'll check back later.

ETA: It worked for me an hour later. Got the Fun Pack DLC as well. Thanks, MannishBoy.

There's more free DLC for that game. Check the add-on section (both pages).
Haven't been able to check out yet though.

Finally worked.

Pretty sure I have that from PS+ already but might be nice to have subscription free

Did prime gaming do its usual Thursday release this week?

Edit: Looks like just one GOG game, Town of Light
