You're 22 minutes late, buddy. Also, it's more than on GoG!  ;P

Thank you, Spalls, for posting.  I saw your post, thought "GOG", and moved
on...not realizing it was on Steam.  (I stick with Steam games to limit
frustration on Linux.)  Thank you, Ant, for mentioning that it is on Steam.

Hey, a freebie on GOG. It's been a while; I've missed these.

 

* Metro 2033 Redux https://www.gog.com/en/game/metro_2033_redux This is
the 'remake' of the original game, with (slightly) updated visuals and
minor tweaks to gameplay. Personally, I found the original version
slightly more appealing in its visuals (the redux version gives
everything a plastic-like sheen that feels out of place) but either
way, it's still a good game. It's a corridor shooter with the moody
atmosphere of the STALKER titles; some people think its gameplay is a
bit too restrictive, but I think it a nice change of place from the
aimless wandering forced upon you by giant open worlds. Plus, you get
to shoot Nazis (mutants too, but Nazi-shooting is a skill we probably
need to sharpen these days).

 

Available only for 48 hours (give or take a few hours, depending on
when you read this post). Alas, I already have this game on GOG, so I
cannot benefit, but if you don't own this one yet, here's your chance
to get your hands on this classic.
