Free Games: Gettin’ Gunky, ‘Vampyr, and Festive Cave Story
It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas! As I write this, I am likely ruining my own life with excessive amounts of wine or chocolate. It’s almost like a ridiculous villain from an ancient parable. This has been a great year for gaming, right? There’s so much to do, from Hitman 3 to Halo Infinite.
Look no further if you are looking for that last bit of festive gaming glory. Enjoy the last foray into free games and new subscriptions for this holiday season before going to bed. This is the last gift in your stocking, the one that Santa forgot about.

Remember Epic Games giving away one free game every day since last week. There has been plenty to choose from, but you’ll miss out if you don’t grab them when they are available. The bangers have been flying since last week’s Shenmue III offer. The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Neon Abyss and Loop Hero were all freebies from Epic directly to your library.
If you missed the game, you may have missed out on these free games. But don’t fret! You don’t have to be worried! What about immortality or a curse? The choice between helping the people you promised to help and accepting the monster in you?
Sound good? Vampyr might be the right game for you. It’s available on Epic Games Store as a freebie from (UK time) December 23rd to 24th. Be quick! You can only get it for one day. You might be able to grab Mutant Years Zero: Road to Eden if you are quick.

You are a newly converted bloodsucker who also happens to be a doctor and has patients to save. These patients are likely to die from the delicious blood coursing through their veins.
It was developed by DONTNOD Entertainment (the studio behind Life is Strange) and became a huge hit after its first release in 2018. It’s an exciting adventure with some gruesome villains. It’s your responsibility to save or condemn 1918 London. Grab this at the Epic Games Store as soon as possible, before it disappears.
Clicking and Pointing on Game Pass
Broken Age will be available for free this Christmas. This point-and-click adventure, which is available for free on Xbox and PC Game Pass at no additional cost, is just as charming today as it was when it first appeared in 2014.
Broken Age, directed by Tim Schafer, stars Jack Black, Elijah Wood and Masasa Moyo. It’s the type of game you can play with your whole family, regardless of their gaming experience. This is something I struggle to say about vampyr and the gruesome setting.
Broken Age is a strong product. However, crowdfunding has been a viable alternative to traditional publisher-funded funding to get a project off its feet. Its Kickstarter raised more than $3.4m. This is still one of the largest amounts ever for a crowdfunding campaign in video games.
