Minetest 5.5.0 has been released :
https://www.minetest.net/

big changelog
https://dev.minetest.net/Changelog#5.4.0_.E2.86.92_5.5.0

highlights

Highlights

    We switched to our own Irrlicht fork allowing us to fix many longstanding bugs (text input, fullscreen, macOS support, graphics) and improve graphics in the future
    More efficient map compression using the Zstd format. This has been shown to result in 20-30% faster map generation!
    Formspec and Lua API features including a better Dynamic Media API and a PNG encoder
    Work has been done to implement dynamic shadows, but they were not ready to be included in this release
    Lots and lots of bug fixes and performance improvements

Note: This isn't a first but to avoid surprises we want to point out that once you have loaded a map in Minetest 5.5 you will not be able to load it in previous versions. Make backups first. (Client-server compatibility is untouched by this.)

Unlocked some friend referral codes for Town of Salem (which is basically a PC game version of Mafia with larger role lists). They let you demo the game with five free matches before having to decide if you want to buy it. I'll cross them off the list if/when they're redeemed.

this week on the epic store the freebie is "Windbound"
Looks like an amazing "roguelite" game with survival elements in theory when you read the description , and that has nice Zelda/Pine-like visuals

But the reviews are on average rather mediocre/bad, anyone know if it's worth a try or if the reviews are telling it exactly like it is unfortunately.

edit : finally got time to try, and so far it is very promising and despite the survival elements it is relaxing.
The character design looks like disney, especially the one you're controlling.

Performance is very good, nice to see an optimised game for once.

Dear Esther: Landmark Edition at Steam is "free to keep when you get it before 16 Feb @ 7:00am"

[Aoi]

Does anybody want a copy of Madden 22 for Origin? Toss a PM. (Account has to be over a week old; will be sent out by random draw to whoever requests, whenever I feel like it. If this is still here, it's still open.)

[marples]

Sort of free I guess. I think the game will be removed after the demo period, but until then the demo of ΔV: Rings of Saturn https://store.steampowered.com/app/846030/V_Rings_of_Saturn/ is essentially the current release build.

Message from the dev,

This is a very special update. In a time of a global crisis, there are causes that need your contributions more than we do. Today I’m lifting all the restrictions of the demo version, making it essentially a full game. Instead of buying ΔV, spend your money on something important and help someone in need. You can get the full version of ΔV when we have peace again.

surviving mars on Prime game is the base version or with all dlc?

[Robsoie]

This week on the epic store, they give away the game " Cities: Skylines " (in case you missed it the first time they gave it away).
There are a couple of minor dlc that are free too.

[martinuzz]

I already have it on Steam, but can recommend. One of the best city sims out there. Learning how to deal with traffic can be a pain though, but there's Biffa.
Some of the DLC are nice additions, but none are needed. The tons of mods will keep your need for variety satisfied for ages.

This week the epic freebie is "Demon's Tilt" ( that title if read too fast ) , a pinball game very inspired by the "Crush" serie Alien's Crush, Devil's Crush, Dragon's Revenge, etc...) that were acclaimed in their time.

edit 2 : it's a very good game but for some reason the devs thought it would be cool to have a full screen violet flashing light coming regularly (probably with some kind of heartbeat), so be  very warry of this game if you have some epilepsy trouble, because it's not even possible to disable that useless violet fullscreen flashing crap.

Next week, 2 games will be freebies, one of them being "Total War: Warhammer", that will probably kill their download server for a few hours

edit : good time to mention again Legendary ( https://github.com/derrod/legendary ) , a free open source program that allows to download and play the games you have on your epic store account without the need to ever install the epic launcher.
One of the frontend for Legendary, named Heroic Launcher, has now the ability to get not only the games on your epic account, but also on your gog account :

Free to keep when you get it before Mar 27, 10:00am PDT
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1424910/KEO/
KEO is a team-based online multiplayer vehicle combat game set in a sci-fi post-apocalyptic world.

This week freebie on the epic store :
Total War: Warhammer
City of Brass

(there are a few dlc available for free for the Total War game)
