If Wednesday is Midweek Madness on Steam, then what exactly is the weekend? Right: Time for a weekend deal. After all, there are offers on Valve’s platform almost around the clock, giving you the opportunity to continue to grow your own game library.
But if you’re not interested in spending money, you can currently play some free games. We’ll tell you what they are here:
Steam and Epic:
3 games are free on the weekend
But enough of the introductory words, let’s take a closer look at Steam’s weekend offer. We have selected five exciting offers for you and wish you lots of fun discovering them.
The highlights of the weekend
Cyberpunk 2077
12:37
Update 1.5 brought countless improvements to Cyberpunk 2077 – and that’s a good thing
Genre: Roleplay | Developer: CD Projekt Red | Release: December 10, 2020 | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia | Preis: 30 Euro (50 percent discount) | Offer ends: 02. May 2022
Certainly: Cyberpunk 2077 is of course not a real insider tip. After all, CD Projekt Red’s role-playing game is a million-seller – and it’s still worth taking a look at right now. At least for all those who have been patient due to the bumpy start. However, with Update 1.5, CD Projekt was able to bring countless improvements, quality-of-life changes, performance optimization and much more to the world of Night City.
Since then, Cyberpunk 2077 has played much smoother and more pleasantly, as our test for update 1.5 shows. So if you’re currently looking for a big role-playing game, aren’t afraid of a dys topian world and if you don’t mind weaknesses in shooter and stealth gameplay, you can pay a visit to Night City.
Greedfall – Gold Edition
10:20
In the test video for Greedfall, we look at the strengths and weaknesses of the role-playing game
Genre: Roleplay | Developer: Spiders | Release: 10. September 2019 | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | Preis: 16 Euro (60 percent discount) | Offer ends: 25. April 2022
Another RPG, but this time in a completely different corner. Greedfall puts you in an alternate world of the 17th century where fantasy elements meet a colonial scenario. A disease called the Malichor Plague is causing serious problems, which is why the peoples decide to search the new world of Teer Fradee for a cure.
This is exactly where you come into play, because you slip into the role of your self-created character, but who is always a talented diplomat. This is also absolutely necessary on Teer Fradee, because the individual factions are fighting for supremacy there. In addition, the natives are not exactly happy about the new residents.
In the meantime, you can find out in our detailed test whether Greedfall is something for your video game palate. Incidentally, the Gold Edition offered on Steam includes the DLC The De Vespe Conspiracy in addition to the original game.
Medieval Dynasty
15:18
The medieval hit Medieval Dynasty just keeps getting better – release version 1.0 being tested
Genre: Roleplay | Developer: Render Cube | Release: 23. September 2021 | Platforms: PC | Preis: 22 Euro (25 percent discount) | Offer ends: 24. April 2022
Role-playing game for the third time, but this time completely different: Medieval Dynasty actually combines three different genres. You start out as a fairly simple citizen in the Middle Ages and gradually begin to build up your dynasty.
For this you have to hunt animals, till fields, cut down trees and much more, which is a classic part of the survival genre. But that’s not all, because you also have to set up your own village, construct buildings and pay attention to the different seasons. After all, winter in the Middle Ages can really get in the way of parades.
If that appeals to you, then take a look at our test first, in which we go into more detail about the strengths and weaknesses of Medieval Dynasty.
The Forgotten City
PLUS
4:22
The Forgotten City – One of the best Skyrim mods becomes its own game with Unreal Engine 4
Genre: Adventure | Developer: Modern Storyteller | Release: July 28, 2021 | Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch | Preis: 17 (30 percent discount) | Offer ends: 29. April 2022
The Forgotten City started out as a hugely successful mod for Skyrim that was downloaded millions of times. In the meantime, the developers have made an independent game out of it and are sending you off to solve an unusual case.
The adventure puts you in an underground city of ancient Rome, where various residents are turned into gold statues if they break the only local law. You should prevent this and therefore have to talk to the residents, make important decisions and accept that you will experience the same day several times. The Forgotten City keeps you trapped in a time warp, as you gradually learn more about how you can stop the horrible fate of the residents.
The developers tell such a great and atmospheric story that The Forgotten City also made it into our top 100 best story games of all time.
