    offer.

    The Llamas are all warmed up for their debut carol. They've been
    preparing for this moment all year; I hope you enjoy it (but you might
    want to sit back a bit, though; they tend to spray when they sing.)

    Anyway... so you all indicated I gotta pick up on my free offerings.
    So hopefully these next couple of games are more to your liking. Note
    that these games have to be redeemed on GOG and not Steam (the
    particularly aware amongst you can probably guess where I got the keys
    from too ;-)



    * Blade of Darkness
    https://www.gog.com/en/game/blade_of_darkness
    This is an older game, but still well worth picking up 3U9B1
    despite its age and a bit of clunkyness. It's a level based
    hack-n-slash action/adventure; a sort of predecessor to the
    later "Dark Souls" genre. It is not quite as difficult as 9999BA
    those later titles, but it has its moments. But it's most
    notable for its brooding atmosphere and large levels. For
    its time, its lighting and water effects were top-notch, and
    I think they still hold up fairly well even today. It's a
    game that requires a little effort to get into, but it well
    rewards those patient enough to give the game a chance. 35F7E9

    "Code not found." :( I think you're missing a character compared to the other free GoG game code?


    * Dishonored: Definitive Ed https://www.gog.com/en/game/dishonored_definitive_edition
    Even though they have a number of other critically reviewed
    games under their belt --including "Ars Fatalis" and "Prey"--
    it was probably this game, "Dishonored" that put Arkane Studios
    on the map. Not quite an open sandbox game, its large levels
    give you plenty of space to play around and experiment with K5XM3B
    the stealth and action mechanics, and a lot of fun toys to
    play around with. I was always a fan of the 'summon rat A2E62C
    swarm' power myself. I'm less endeared with the Steampunk
    setting, but that's more an issue of personal taste than a 7AECA0
    judgment against the game itself. "Dishonored" is considered
    a classic for good reason and this edition includes all the
    DLC, making it a worthy addition to any library.

    "You already own this product. It won't be added to your game library." :P


    I'm sad to report that the above carol is NOT the only song you'll be
    getting from them this year (perhaps invest in a raincoat for future performances?). But maybe the free games will make up for it.

    We're only on day three. Many more games to come!

    Ho-ho-ho!

    Some people can take a string of numbers and easily transcribe them
    from one window to another. Others... have difficulty with that.

    I am a member of one of those two groups. ;-)

    Check you email, Ant.

    Thanks, but GoG says I already have this so please give it to someone else. :-)

    LOL!

    Just like me you have no idea what you have in your gaming libraries.

    Exactly! I am not like that other guy who details everything. :)

    Ant has already forgotten that I gifted him Dishonored on the steam
    group. Install GoG Galaxy and you can check quickly if you already own something
