Overwatch screenshot of Tracer looking very smug

I have no idea why today is so special, but quite a few games have just announced free weekends or giveaway. The multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight is having a free weekend, the original Psychonauts is completely free to grab from the Humble Store, Ubisoft is running a free weekend for The Division, and now Blizzard is joining the fray with the biggest game of them all - Overwatch.

However, while the previously mentioned offers are valid for this weekend, the Overwatch free trial has been scheduled for the next one. To be more specific, you'll be able to test out everything Overwatch has to offer from September 22-25 on both PC and consoles. And if you end up buying it, all of your progress and earned Loot Boxes from the free weekend will carry over to the full version, provided you got it on the same account.

The First Tree gorgeous screenshot of a fox looking off at the distance

The First Tree is a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son trying to reconnect with his father in Alaska. While the two stories will be intertwined, you will only be guiding the fox on her rather strange journey to the source of all life.

Since this is a deeply atmospheric game, and one that isn't as cheerful as it appears on the surface, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer so you'll get a good idea of what to expect. Have a look, its quite the sight to behold:

Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City screenshot of a sunset

The Dark Souls series represents some of my favorite games of all time, and despite finishing each of them multiple times I am always eager to jump back in and see what sort of silly build I can pull off. As such, I am very happy to say that both Dark Souls 2 and 3 are currently massively discounted on Steam, and will remain discounted until Monday, September 18th. So if you ever wanted to give the series a try, now would be the best time to do so!

As a part of the Bandai Namco publisher week Dark Souls 3 is 60% off and will set you back €24, while you can grab Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the Sin Edition (including all of the DLC) for a rather low €10. If you're going to grab only one I would suggest you go with Dark Souls 2 simply because its cheaper. Both games are excellent in their own way, however, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you choose.

Endless Space 2 screenshot of the Riftborn fighter squadrons in flight

Besides the usual batch of balance changes and bug fixes, Endless Space 2's Target Locked Update has brought in some rather interesting new content. You can now create dedicated fighter and bomber squadrons to escort your ships, with the bombers being more aggressive and the fighters more defensive, as well as embark on a brand new quest that will have you scour the galaxy in order to figure out who has been letting loose vast swarms of fighters.

Since these are cool new ships we're talking about, allow me to share with you the recently posted preview trailer. It should give you a good idea of what exactly the Target Locked Update brings to the table, as well as offer a close up look at the new escort squadrons in action. Have a gander:

The Division screenshot of a flamethrower crew

If you ever felt like giving The Division a try, but didn't really commit to it due to its somewhat mediocre reputation, you'll be glad to hear that Ubisoft is currently holding a free weekend. Simply head over to the official website, create or log in into your Uplay account, and you'll be playing in no time.

The event will only last until Monday, so do make sure to start as soon as possible in order to get a really good look at what The Division is all about. And if you end up liking what you see, you'll also be glad to hear that its 60% off for the duration of the free weekend. While this should go without saying, your progress will carry over from the free to the full version, so don't worry about 'wasted' gameplay.

Psychonauts screenshot of our main character sliding down a railing

With Psychonauts 2 fully funded and slowly on its way, now would be a good time to give the original classic a try and see why exactly its held in such high regard. As such, I am very glad to say that Psychonauts is completely free to grab on the Humble Store for the next two days.

While you're there, you might also want to check out the currently ongoing End of Summer sale. You can grab excellent games such as The Witcher 3, XCOM 2, and Total War: Warhammer at rather considerable discounts, so if you have a bit of free time consider giving them a chance. Personally, I would recommend starting with The Witcher 3 as its one of the most enjoyable action-RPGs I've played in quite a while.

Total War: Warhammer 2 screenshot of an absolutely gigantic dinosaur skeleton

While Total War: Warhammer 2's campaign map will only be slightly larger than the original's, it will cover a lot more of the Warhammer world. Instead of everything being close together on one continent, Total War: Warhammer 2 will be spreading out the action across the High Elf island of Ulthuan, the Dark Elf controlled Naggaroth, the lush jungles of Lustria, and the even the rather enigmatic Southlands.

Creative Assembly has already given us a detailed overview of the Vortex campaign map, but they have never shown us what it looks like from the ground. As such, I am very glad to say that they have now released a brief teaser trailer showing off some of the most visually impressive locations from the New World. Have a look:
