Loads of good stuff!
As more people face a whole lot more time indoors, not to mention medical and financial anxiety, many kind developers are giving games away free or slapping on big discounts. You can find a nice lot of these on Itch.io, where the splendid store have listed many of the"games to help you stay inside". Most of these are free, some have tasty discounts, and loads are good. Honestly you should go wild and try whatever takes your fancy but I do have a few recommendations to get you started, from walking simulators to shoot ‘em ups.
I’ll focus on the freebies for my picks:
Nuclear Throne
Vlambeer’s roguelikelike top-down shooter is one ofthe best action games, according to some site named Rock, Paper, Shootguns. I endorse their opinion. If you’d rather have this on Steam, Vlambeer have cut its priceas much as they can-a 90% discount.
Mu Cartographer
Hey, here, take this weird machine - you’re good to scan landscapes with it now, right? Alright, cool, get to it.

Many games that aren’t free, only discounted, are well worth a go too. I particularly recommendthe warm soap operaofMutazione(oh right, that’sfree on Epicright now anyway), thedaydream dioramasofIslands: Non Places, theball-pushing puzzlesofA Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, and theheart-punching musical violenceofThumper.
Do have a look atItch’s full list. What else do you recommend there, chums? Our faithful old list ofthe best free gamescan keep you busy too.
If you crave newsness, Valve will todaylaunch the Steam Game Festival: Spring Editionwith loads of free demos to stand in for cancelled GDC showcases.
