Free Video Game Giveaways
I've created this community because I've found a few places that regularly give away free games, and there are probably a lot of you out there who aren't aware of them but also like freebies! This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is *not* for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!) - that said I'm not the boss here, if people want to change the rules then just shout! Here are some good places to keep an eye on: - https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/ - SteamDB's list of Steam freebies - https://gg.deals/games/free-games/ - GG Deals' list of freebies across different shopfronts - https://gaming.amazon.com/ - free games (some on other shopfronts) if you currently pay for Amazon Prime (though you don't lose them when you cancel) - https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/free-games - Epic Games usually give away at least one game every Thursday - https://www.gog.com/en/partner/free_games - free games (some new, some 90s classics) from GOG, CDPR's DRM-free shop front - https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim - direct link to claim GOG giveaways - https://itch.io/games/free - free (temporarily or permanently) indie games on Itch I'll probably post any freebies I see on these sites whenever I happen to check them but don't let that stop you if you see them before me! Also these are all PC games as that's what I generally play, if you find any similar deals for consoles then feel free to post them too.

(sorry, fixed link 😋)  trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-KDYOZyYCs >This project is purely inspired by the original 1999 game, but it does not represent a full-remake. I'm a big fan of the first Dino Crisis game, I tried to convey all the atmosphere and horror of the original in a modernized fashion! I hope you like it. As a solo-developer it's difficult to do something really noteworthy, but this small/big work makes me somehow proud of how far I've come with personal progress in video game development. It is an important milestone for me that I want to share with you with this award, which is made for the fans, but above all as a personal demonstration. You can do anything you want when there is passion at the base.
