I almost purchased Iratus: Lord of the Dead Sunday evening. I was going through all the games I could afford from this Winters sale. It was on my short list, but I wanted the DLC content as well. As the DLC's were not discounted much, it boosted the price of the collection significantly; so, decided to wait until it was offered as a bundle sometime in the not too distant future. I deleted it from my basket and replaced it with the Quakecon 2020 Bundle, which was about the same price as the heavily discounted base game for Iratus (less than £5). I had most of the bundle; just missing Wolfenstein: Young Blood, that I'd been after since its release back in 2019.
I received an email from GOG early Monday morning; imagine my surprise when I discovered it was the base game for Iratus: Lord of the dead. Very pleased I made the decision not to buy it yet I will still probably get it via Steam eventually if only to support the developer, but that will be when the whole bundle is 75% off. :)
As always, thank you for keeping this and the steam threads up to date. I really appreciate it.
By the way, did you know about the access to thousands of Steam freebies via SteamDB? I've always though all that was available were the ones listed in the steam store as free, which number a few hundred; but there are actually thousands available. I'll be posting details of how to get them added to your Steam account just as soon as I find time.
A steam friend told me about it some weeks ago after I'd given him some of the Steam codes from all those bundle codes I still have. He adds 50 at a time, then while eating breakfast he goes through them, deleting any that he knows he's unlikely to play again. Steam rate-limits the number you can add to 50 per hour. He's been sorting through them for several months just adding 50 every several days. Then proceeds to check them out; adding those he keeps to a free category he created in the Steam library (I have over a thousand categories in my Steam library, created over several years since they introduced the ability to create categories that help me find the games I'm looking for but have forgotten the names of, lol). He finds it really relaxing and exciting at the same time as he often finds hidden gems that he would otherwise never have know about.
I started adding them last week and one of the first games I checked out and absolutely loved was a game called Sinking Simulator, which includes access to over three thousand workshop items such as new ships, famous ships, textures, materials, sound effects, music, skies, different scales etc via the Steam Workshop as well as a few Guides that help with creating ships etc. I'd come across an alpha of the game some years ago, but this version is really professional and has so much configurability as well as an editor.
I'm 'sort of' thinking of restarting that thread I used to post details of free games. Though I keep getting distracted, so haven't started it yet. I tried early in 2020, but only posted details of one game (a really good breakout called Breakquest, that the developer had made freeware and is one of my top ten favourite breakouts of all time). The next game I was intending to post ended up being a massive download of almost 100GB of tens of different add-ons. A lot of the DLC's included high definition images of the solar system planets. It was a game I'd previously posted here in these forums years ago; but it has been massively updated over the years, so though I'd post that next, but with all the downloads etc I was having difficulty putting a review together, lol. Then life and the Covid pandemic got in the way.
I have hundreds of links to various free games and partly written reviews; (mainly commercial games that are now free or abandonware; but will now be including some of my favourite Steam freebies and some updated games that have previously been posted here years ago), some of the now free games include a smattering of my favourite games from the noughties such as the FPS game Vietcong and the squad based third person shooter Conflict Vietnam as well as some of the earlier Cabela's hunting games, most of the Ricochet breakout games and some of the earlier Need for Speed and other racing games (that I'm sure your hubby will enjoy). :)
