    Xenonauts, an X-Com style game, is apparently free for about seven more hours on GOG.com.

    Recced for anyone who's never played. It's like a RNG-based semi-roguelike version of classic Quake, only with a lot of (often grindy) class unlocks and the like.

    Humble Bundle is offering Shadowrun Returns Deluxe for free for the next 33 hours. If you like Shadowrun, cyberpunk, or tactics games, grab it and take it for a spin.

    EDIT:
    Minor advice if you pick it up.
    • Do not play a Summoning-focused shaman. It's a poorly balanced archetype that will eat all your money on resupply. Caster shaman is fine.
    • If you play Adept, use a sword. Fist Adept is not well supported in the first game.
    • If you play an Adept, be prepared to reload the game a lot. They don't have crit protection yet.
    • You can't ask your crew members to come over and do things for you in this first game, so Decker is actually a pretty good archetype to play as. Just remember to put some of your free karma into rifles or you'll have no meatspace combat skills.

    Hacknet is free for the next 27 hours or so.

    If you're at all interested in hacking simulators, I'd highly suggest grabbing it. It's more or less an upgraded version of the old game Uplink(not free right now) that consumed massive amounts of time when I was a kid.

    Just saw this posted elsewhere and headed right over to mention it.

    I'd also like to push as many people as possible into getting it. The game is really fun, each person on the team is a crew member of a steampunk airship and has to man the guns, repair or prevent damage, steer the ship, and all that, but the biggest issue the series has always had is the low player population for reasons that escape me. So, the more people who join, the better than game will be.

    Iirc, the game's been free three or four times over the past year now.

    I wish my potato could run it. Looks fun.

    Given the nature of the game they would likely be better off making it entirely free to play, then maybe selling some costume pack type DLCs to make back money on it. The thing about team based multiplayer games is you need enough people where you can always get a team for them to really be good, so they need to look into ways to increase their player base.

    It took awhile for me to decide between a viking hack and slash or a card game rpg, but I would like this if you don't mind.

    I have skyrim for the other stuff and it's been awhile since I've played a good card game.
