So, keep reading because I’ve already done all the legwork to compile this list of excitingly free deals.
About This Game
Gunpoint undoubtedly makes you feel like that bad*ss spy agent while maintaining some high sense of humor. On this stealth puzzle game, you’ll take the role of a freelance spy who is contracted to break into high-security buildings and steal essential data. To breach the building’s security, you’ll need to use the Crosslink – a gadget that gives you an overview of a building’s security devices. After making your spy mission, you can trick the security guards into shooting each other or trapping themselves. You can also trick or lie to your client. Overall, Gunpoint is one of the best fun PC games for its price tag.

Batman: Arkham Origins ($19.99)
About This Game
Batman: Arkham Origins is arguably the best Arkham title ever, majorly because there are no boring tank battles on the game. That aside, the Arkham Origins is tremendously enjoyable, thanks to the great graphics, fighting mechanics, and physics. In addition to that, this action-heavy game isn’t a sequel, making it easy to understand, even if you haven’t read any DC Comics before. Unlike the other Arkham titles, here you’ll meet lethal new enemies like the Martial Artist, Armored Enforcer, and more. Gamers will also get new gadgets like the Concussion Detonator and Remote Claw. Definitely worth the money!

Dirt Rally 2.0 ($15.99)
About This Game
Better than watching movies? Well, almost. Personally, I’m a great fan of rallying games, and this one doesn’t disappoint one bit. It is, in fact, one of the most fun racing titles you can ever find. It features excellent graphics, weather, realistic handling models, and everything else you can ask from a rallying game. You’ll enjoy catching the slide, making sharp turns, mastering exits, and more. And yes, it features real-life off-road environments in Poland, NZ, USA, Australia, Spain, and Argentina. My only concern is the subpar tarmac driving physics. But all in all, Dirt Rally 2.0 is excellent for any hardcore racing fan.
