But wasn't it just a Christmas freebie?

I think you might be right there.

Hang on I knew it didn't make sense, I've googled a bit.

It's "Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, a 2017 action-adventure game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is a standalone expansion pack following Dishonored 2".

Death of the Outsider is indeed a standalone DLC of Dishonored 2. It is excellent and really worth playing.

I'm surprised they haven't offered Dishonored 2 first though

Personally I would get it but not play it until you have played Dishonored 2. Not because it is a vital requirement or anything, just for the flavour and continuity.

Dishonored 2 was free on GOG around Christmas.

For fans of Deathloop, Death of the Outsider can be considered a prequel (.. of sorts).

Ah cool. I thought it was the first Dishonored.

I can't see how it's connected to Deathloop though, other than the fact they are both First Person games from Arkane Studios

There are are apparently a couple of artifacts that reference DotO and some references in a song. It's meant to be set in a possible future (not necessarily THE future) of that game. They could just have been jokey little easter eggs for fans of Arkane games but ..

Ah I see. Thanks.

Just to add - Dishonored 2 (on the GOG store) was actually a Prime Game giveaway and is still open (until tomorrow 31st Jan) so if you have an Amazon Prime account, get it quick if you haven't done so already...

Done & Thanks - for me it says code valid until Feb 14th.

War Pips free at the moment is good simple fun

[smithyithy]

Yep, had that on Steam I think, fun little game!

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Dying Light Enhanced Edition is currently the free Epic Store game until 13/4/23, if that's your thing.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Death Stranding is the free game again, if you missed it the first time around earlier in the year.

edit: Also, just a reminder to anyone considering the "50% off the Director's Cut" offer, you can upgrade from the free standard version to the Director's Cut for £8.99 anyway. So don't pay more than that.

Sadly I own that game several times over already (bought the original, then later on the Redux in a sale, then later on again got it for free from GoG I think)

Great game though; I love the Metro series.

I forget to log on to Epic. Nice spot, I missed Death Standing last time round so I’ve actually downloaded and will play this.
I have actually been using epic, play Fortnite with the lad and just finished Borderlands 3 which I enjoyed. Not quite as good as 2 but fun.

Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition (comes with 6 DLC) today.

Now there's a rabbit hole to go down with mods etc.

And it is a game that not only has a metric arseload of mods but also needs them. Especially the updated textures & models etc.

I'm not sure how many hours I have put into this game over the years.

(edit: Steam says 314 hours, but that's only how long I've played it on Steam. I'm pretty sure I originally bought it on DVD which was DRM-locked by Microsoft's long-dead servers)

Cheers, I have picked that up.

Rumour is that this weeks mystery game is Payday 2. An old game, I've had it since 2014 on steam, maybe it'll come with DLC?
