If you want to suggest a game that has recently released or that looks interesting, but hasnt released yet, please follow the following formatting structure so the post is picked up by Toma-Bot:

DESCRIPTION TEXT
[/quote]
Copy the appropriate content and add the proper information for the black writing. Please only include 1 link and 1 image. I tried making it a bit failsafe, so it should be able to deal with 2 links or images as well, but 1 is safer.

If the game is free, then put "Free" as the price, otherwise please use $ or € for the price. You can also include more than one game per post (like the Screenshot saturday posts), but please stick to the above format for every entry.

If someone posts a non-proper formatted post, I'd appreciate if you could repost the game with the same info in the proper format.

I noticed there are a few noteworthy, and relatively unknown, projects that deserve a shoutout here because I feel that they share a common interest with the people in this thread. I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.

GAF Thread: Freeware Games
So many free games are out there and so many are just really good games that a large majority of people will never play. From developers with large portfolios of freeware games, to free alphas and betas, to the hundreds and hundreds of entries for game jams such as Seven Day Roguelike, Seven Day FPS, Ludum Dare, and others, to the talented work of Digipen students, there's just an astounding amount of quality free games to play and enjoy that this thread tries to uncover.

Good to see Hell is Other Demons on the list. I played that the other day and am really looking forward to the addition of gamepad support. Octohedron has also been on my want list for a while, and Riptale's action looks like it should be a lot of fun. There's a lot of good stuff on the way.

Somehow only found out about Splasher today but it looks cool.

You should play the demo, it gives a great ideas of what the game is about, it's a mix between super meat boy and splatoon.
I have heard the dev worked with french speed runners to make it a competitive platformer. He was a tech designer on Rayman Origins and Legends apparently so there is that DNA going in also.

Induction is an abstract puzzle game about time travel and paradoxes. As you master its logic, Induction aims to rewire how you think about cause and effect.

Played a demo of this a while, and really enjoyed it. It's interesting because it's not just the typical "rewind and play alongside your past self" like most similar games do, as you can see here

Excited for this, especialy after the disapointment that is double dragon IV.

But even more excited for Night in the woods. It's this month guys, woohoo finafukingly: it better deliver!

Oh my god, Splasher is fantastic. It's been a while since I played a platformer this good. This game desrves more attention.

Desync and Night in the Woods are potentially GOTY material. I've been fortunate enough to get a decent amount of time with both at conventions last year.

Another to add to the February "please god, make it stop. I can't play everything" list:

Hollow Knight releases 2/24

Wow, way earlier than I expected! The demo offered with the Humble Monthly was actually great. I spend about 2 hours with it and was enjoying this creepy insect world.

So, there are 2 monthly highlights for me:


and the wishlist for the rest of the year is growing, with the addition of the new game by the devs of FTL, called Into the Breach:





 
Been playing a bit of Oh Deer by Necrosoft games this weekend, it's a fast paced Outrun style game. Kinda looking forward to Hidden Folks next week. I know the reviews will be glowing but I want to know how much content is there for the price.
 
Hell Is Other Demons - A fast frenetic bullet hell platforner/shooter, that just feels really good to play. Nice pixel art and intense action means this has a lot of potential, looking forward to the full game

Pit People - The Behemoth does it again. Their wild wacky sense of humor perfectly compliments this simple yet surprisingly deep turn-based strategy game

Cayne - More gorgeous isometric sci-fi horror from the devs behind Stasis, now for free. If you enjoyed the gore soaked terrors of Stasis, Cayne will sate you in a very satisfying manner

Warcube - Game is off to a solid start, with a enjoyable foundation of fast back-flipping fighting, simple RTS elements, and a sense of humor

Clone Drone In The Danger Zone - While slicing and dicing enemies is a lot of fun and feels really satisfying when you bisect an enemy, the game feels a bit too stiff to be that enjoyable. A decent foundation though

1) Hell Is Other Demons
2) Pit People
3) Cayne
4) Warcube
5) Clone Drone In The Danger Zone

Pit people left me super cold, which was a pity cos I like their other output. I liked everything around it, but I just found the actual gameplay aggressively dull and simplistic. I may re-evaluate after it leaves EA, but for now it is the one dud on Behemoths game catalog.
 
Tower of Guns is getting a bigger and even crazier sequel

Mothergunship - PC, PS4, Xbox One
