Oh neat! That's Syndicate. Thanks for the heads-up.

COMPANY OF HEROES 2 is free and it's DLC massively reduced until tomorrow.
Although not quite as good as the original CoH, CoH 2 is still a very fine RTS and well worth picking up for $0. The DLC and expansions are also worthwhile, especially at this price, as they expand the number of sides and factions and add a campaign map mode.

SUBNAUTICA is free on Epic Games for the next two weeks.
One of the best games of 2018, well worth a punt.

SINS OF A SOLAR EMPIRE is free on Steam for the next two days. Worthwhile for itself and also for its great mods (particularly STAR TREK: ARMADA 3).

TRANSISTOR is this week's free game on Epic.
I've seen a lot of great stuff about this game, an action-RPG that you can turn into a turn-based game with escalating powers with a very effective story. Will definitely try this out.

This weeks' free Epic games are TYRANNY and PILLARS OF ETERNITY, both from Obsidian. The former is a superb, excellent CRPG with genuinely interesting moral decisions.
PILLARS OF ETERNITY is their big BALDUR'S GATE-style "spiritual successor" which, erm, isn't as good as the original, but still reasonably entertaining (and has both a much stronger expansion and a better sequel).

Epic are giving away 1 free game a day for the next 15 days.
Today's game is CITIES: SKYLINES, which is absolutely worth $0.
Rumour is that THE WITCHER 3, HITMAN 2 (the new one) and HORIZON ZERO DAWN are all in the rotation for coming days.
Oh wow, holy cow CS is free!? I guess I'm reinstalling the Epic Launcher now! I can't run the other rumored games on my computer but CS should play just fine. Thanks!

DD can cause a great deal of frustration and easy mode is something I very much suggest until one gets a handle on the systems. Also a tip that is used quite often is to actually ruthlessly keep your party strong by kicking out those who get too crippled with disadvantages, and making 'treasure parties' who go in to grab stuff for your main group and then you can get rid of them.

This week's free Epic game is FROSTPUNK. One of my favourite games of the last five years, it's a post-apocalyptic city builder that forces people to make hard decisions. It has an absolute ton of content and a very wide degree of challenges for different skill levels.

Frostpunk is very hard (that Last Autumn scenario is downright f*&&ing torture) but the aesthetic and core scenarios are really well done, and the concept is fascinating and well fleshed out. I put up a thread on it awhile ago though no one seemed interested in discussing it. But despite my frustrations with some aspects of it, I strongly recommend it and if it's free it's definitely worth the time to check it out if you like strategy games.

This week's free game is CONTROL, an outstanding action-adventure game with an offbeat, weird atmosphere. It's from one of my favourite developrs, Remedy, and is part of their Extended Remedy Universe (ERU) which also includes the ALAN WAKE series and (when they get the rights back) QUANTUM BREAK, but you don't need to have played those to enjoy this game..
