Yay I got it too despite having recently accepted to get spammed allready, but most importantly didn't miss it  I allways miss the gog ones somehow, epic is easy it's allways the same day.

This is definitly a good grab.

Those Shadowrun games are great, some of the best games I played last year.

Looks interesting enough to install GOG galaxy and give it a try!

I, for one, would highly recommend the Shadowrun trilogy.

Though, uh... if you don't like Shadowrun Returns... I'm with you on there. I'd actually recommend skipping it and going straight to Dragonfall or Hong Kong.

ComPressure, indie steampunk Zach-like (hybrid of logic, simulation and programming genres where you can optimize in different directions – accuracy, cost, steam used), is now free. One great feature ComPressure has is you can reuse old levels as components in later ones. Good solution to a level does not make it a good component when used in bigger system, though – so one often goes back to previous levels and looks for ways to optimize it in one way or other.

I followed its development since Early Access and beside the game itself really enjoyed the activity (both update-wise and community-wise) of its sole dev, Charlie Brej. There used to be free demo with first 14 levels, now the whole 40 level package is freely accessible in this "demo". Players can also create their own levels and some kind of weekly competition was started in the latest update, too.

You're not forced to install gog galaxy, gog offers offline installers if you prefer them.

Ironcast and Bridge Constructor "Walking Dead" are available for free this week on the epic store.
Ironcast is a Bejeweled-like very inspired by Puzzle Quest, just with steampunk instead of heroic fantasy as a cover.

GOG is having a giveaway. Siberia I & II

PS Somone posted a warning about Trojans in the Siberia I reviews. I never had such problems from GOG and I can't really fact check them but it can happen and in any case I thought I should mention it.

This week on the epic store they have for free
Obduction
Offworld Trading Company

(note, you can use open source Legendary and a frontend for it like Rare legally if you're not willing to install the epic launcher, it works great )

[Detros]

Epic Store: Offworld Trading Company

Note there it is available just for Windows, while Steam version also offers support for Mac and apparently also decent one for Linux-via-Proton.

Free early access minimalistic base builder tower defense on Steam, called Vectorio.
I can see this becoming an excellent game.

Epic is offering this week some kind of FPS in which you build your own gun named "Mothergunship"
And more interesting for me, a train sim named "Train Sim World 2" .

Note : Train Sim World 2 requires latest "Microsoft Visual C ++" that may or may not yet (or may not be "latest" enough) be present on your system.
so if launching the game has it not launching with a missing "Microsoft Visual C ++" message, you can get it there :
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
for the online installer
(offline installers can be found there : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 )

( for train sim fans, i remind the existence of 2 open source ones : Open Rails and Open BVE  )

edit : oh if you are an AMD user, chances are that the game will crash if you're using a driver the version of UE4 that equip the Train Sim World 2 game does not like.
exactly what happened to me , not really willing to play the "let's find the driver that game wants" again

I'm sorry if this goes in the wrong thread (I can't remember if we usedpost about free weekends here or in the sales thread) but Obsidians new/work-in-progress https://store.steampowered.com/app/962130/Grounded/ has a free weekend on Steam right now. I think it's a "honey I shrunk the children", garden survival base builder kind of game (haven't tried it yet myself).

[Enemy post]

I’m looking forward to playing Grounded someday, but I’m holding out for the full release.
