I made a account ages ago and got two or three free games but I can't find it anymore and honestly don't really give a shit ether, I got more than enough unplayed games on Steam!
Yeah but I've gotten some absolutely stellar games for free. The ones that cone to mind are Satisfactory, Subnautica, and Prey. Well worth it
Satisfactory was never given away for free.
Huh. I don't remember buying it. Great game though.
I had Ark which I want to play for over five years by now but considering I never thought about it again till now it's probably not the biggest loss!
Dodged a bullet.
Death Stranding and the Bioshock trilogy. Still haven't played them though lol
I did like Death Stranding. Which surprised me because it feels like a bonkers indie game about a post-apocalyptic Deliveroo driver, but inexplicably given a $100m AAA budget. He still can't write dialogue for shit, all the celebrity cameos are hilariously out of place, almost nothing makes any sense until the last 20 minutes, and there's grind in awkward places.
And in spite of everything, I can't help but admire the unapologetic nature of the concept. It's kind of like Red Dead Redemption 2, in that it goes against everything gamers normally want, to the point you can almost hear the boardroom full of middlemen getting frustrated that there's not enough shooting, or wondering where there the multiplayer funbucks are.
