Steam gamers looking for a little something extra can currently claim and download a small handful of bonus free downloads, but we should warn you you only have until the end of the month to get 'em.
For those who might not be aware, Steam is currently holding a special promotion dedicated to deckbuilders. For those who might not what a deckbuilder is, it's the kind of genre that will cause you to shun all other responsibilities and pretty much destroy your life. But, you know, in a good way.
As part of this Steam promotion there are sales on some of the best the genre has to offer, plus a few free downloads to grab. At the time of writing you can net yourself an exclusive avatar frame, plus an animated avatar and sticker. Maybe not the most exciting freebie ever, but you get what you pay for. Which in this instance I guess is nothing. Just be aware the promotion ends 1 April, at which point the free cosmetic goodies will be lost forever. Like tears in rain.
If you're craving something a little more substantial, you can actually download and keep one of 23 free games below right now:
- Toy Shire: Room One - I especially love the look of this one. Think Toy Story meets Tower Defense. What a combo.
- No Love Lost - A vibe-y extraction shooter.
- Pixel Royale 3D - A kind of Minecraft style battle royale. Looks pretty fun!
- Skelethrone: The Prey - A dark metroidvania fantasy RPG.
- Dreamland - This one look completely wild to be honest, like Fortnite crossed with a VR chatroom on steroids.
- The Showdown Effect: Reloaded - A fast-paced 2D shooter that actually looks like it could be a ton of fun.
- Genopanic: Prologue - A really gorgeous looking pixel-art metroidvania.
- Final Dash - Some kind of 2D endless runner/platformer. Seems pretty cute.
- CastingPlz - An adorable two-player adventure game about lil' wizards.
- Kingdom: The Blood - "I got this for free and still feel scammed," reads the top review. Make of that what you will.
- Pipe Escape - A 2D puzzle platformer that lets you live out your dream of being a pipe.
- Special Force Legion Of Monsters - I'm not going to lie to you, this one has mostly negative reviews. Avoid unless you're really interested.
- RaceTrap - A cute looking arcade racer.
- Duel Revolution - Doesn't look a thing like Pokémon. Nope. Nothing to see here, Nintendo lawyers.
- Meta-Ghost: Prologue - A really stunning looking cyberpunk rougelike.
- Bolt 'N' Punch - A fun, stylish beat 'em up set in a food factory.
- Guano - You play as an asshole seagull. That's the entire premise, but it's a strong one.
- Night Runners - Looks an awful lot like a Need For Speed game set in Japan, which is definitely not a bad thing.
- World War Next - A free-to-play low poly FPS that looks like it could be a good amount of silly fun.
- Operation Space Force - Another free-to-play shooter, though this one is set in space. I'm sure you probably could've worked that out from the title, though.
- World of Shooting - A first-person shooting sports sim that aims to offer a more realistic experience. Instead of running around shooting bad guys in the face, you try being a responsible gun owner and shoot targets.
- Moon Rider - A really rather striking looking adventure game that claims to be all about soul searching. Sounds like it could be an interesting experience.
- The Tipping Point - A free educational game designed to teach kids about climate science. Whip it out in your classroom and become the coolest teacher ever.
