* Pursuing other platforms to see what they can offer on those.

by the way, Deiland is a very good game. I wrote a review if anyone cares to read it.

Deiland (PC) Review - Squackle.com! The Funniest Site on the Net!

Developer: Chibig | Publisher: 101XP || Overall: 9.0/10 Deiland is a fantastic game. Think 3D Harvest Moon in space, or a more timely analogy, Stardew Valley in space. Though, not as complex or farm-focused as these titles, Deiland takes a more streamlined and narrative approach to the farming...

Great review! I mindlessly added this to my library as it's free but you've actually inspired me to give it a shot and play it! Cheers mate :)

I paid money for the Kenney asset stuff for prototype stuff a while ago, worth grabbing for free if you're interested in noodling with unity or gamemaker etc.

I can confirm that's free if you have even one of the given away games.

Thanks! When I made the thread I frankly could have never foreseen how useful it would become later on, both to me and to others, let alone how topical it is right now. This was before Epic's giveaways so I expected it to be bumped a few times a year, if that. :P

Just noticed that. Looks like the big Qubic giveaway combo continues, lol. That's now thirteen Switch games I've received from them at no cost.

Nice. I just saw it in my Switch needed for Space Pioneer and the article only mentioned it as being free for owners if that game.

Also, while it's not free, Conduct Together is on sale for a penny on the eShop. Only played it for 30 minutes or so, but it's not bad.

I didn't have the first tomb raider on steam, I played it on ps3 back then when it came out so this was nice, it completed my trilogy now!

It looks a lot worse than I remember except the hair with tressfx, it looks just as good as the new ones. It is so easy to run it at 4K, I think it still looks nice, but Shadow looks insane when you look at it next to this. It is like duh of course it does,but my memory remembered this game a lot better than how it actually is. The environment is so much more intricate now. It is cool to look back and appreciate what we got over the years, I remember how heavy tressfx was back then when it came out and people were testing it.

I forgot this game had multiplayer btw lol. The tacked on multiplayer modes are so dead now.

Weltall Zero · Mar 22, 2020

Guys, Gladiabots is freaking legit, but... dangerous, probably more so for programmers like me. When I closed the game yesterday, it was 5 AM :S . Set an alarm or something when you play it. :D

Sorry for chat, but are the keys US only (since the price is USD) or global? I am interested in Party Pack 6 since I'm being asked to run a lot of Jackbox lately and I have packs 1-5.

stan423321 · Mar 24, 2020

Keys?... Oh. Interesting. I get redirected to Steam search from here in Poland, so... I would guess if you don't they don't mind you.

No launcher required
Itch.io does have a launcher but it is not mandatory. I mainly use it for quick acces to any itch.io games i own.

Itch is specifically like Humble Store in principle. There's some games that just give you keys (comparatively few though).

I was able to buy Party Pack 6 on the site no problem and redeem it on Steam. I know it's not in the spirit of the thread, but thanks for the tip on this!

You don't have to actually install, just cancel it and then you can add the dlc.
