Free games (a thread to monitor & get currently free games)

Well, I can vouch for Terraria. I have more hours in that game than any 10 other games combined.

Trying out a bit of Hogwarts now after grabbing it.

TW Warhammer, loop hero I believe they have given out previous years. I have them. The rest I think are new? At least new for me.

I have to check what commander keen is because I remember the very old ones I played 30 years ago on an 386 PC! I don't remember reading about a reboot of that old game.

Terraria I've heard good things about. Detroit become human is praised. Tropico seems to have its fans, but never tried any of the games before myself. RDR2 is a massive giveaway tbh, though it has been more frequently seen on sales 75% etc lately (I've had it on my wishlist for ages).

Edit: I googled and there is no reboot of commander keen per se, it's the old ones. There seems to be some kind of Definite edition available, so perhaps it's that one. Must be quite niche by now in 2025.
