If todays time management game doesn't interest you, the latest Epic Games freebie is Transistor, a Sci fi themed action RPG. There's also more games available for free via Indie Gala and over on Steam, for those of you who enjoy open world racing games, where you can just wander around and join various races, or just perform various stunts, The Crew 2 is free to play until Sunday later afternoon. You can install the game The Crew 2. It's also on sale with 70% off. I bought this the last time they had a free weekend session because I was impressed with the game. It reminded me a lot of Fue, l that open world racing game released several years ago that used satellite imagery to recreate various areas of America, with thousands of miles of roads and tracks to explore.

Installation:

Royal Roads downloads to a 327 MB zip file that unzips to three files, (a setup.gcd security wrapper the set-up file and a read me). The game installs to the following path by default, but can be changed if you wish. The installed game is approximately 896 MB in size.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MyPlayCity.com\Royal Roads - Collector's Edition

Four shortcuts are installed to the desktop; the shortcut to the game, plus three others ''Play Online Games, MyPlayCity Games and a shortcut to a free online game. These latter three shortcuts can be deleted once the game has been installed. The Themida wrapper may alert your security and even block the installation; there are details about this issue in the read me that unpacks from the downloaded zip file.

The Game:

Royal Roads is just another Gnomes Garden remake with a different skin, If you’re looking for a game with deep resource management, look elsewhere. If you’re just here for more of the same old same, Royal Roads is absolutely fine. Check out 'A Reviewers' comment from three weeks ago for the standard version of today's game HERE, the only difference between the two is that you get a few extras with the collectors edition, but the core game play is the same. :)

Videos of Royal Roads:

You can see several in-game videos of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.

If you miss today's game giveaway you can always get the game via MyPlayCity HERE; or If you prefer to purchase the game you can get it HERE via Steam.

Problems getting the game to work:

If you're having problems installing or activating or getting Royal Roads to work please visit the FAQ's Thread HERE and read through the communities comments because sometimes fixes have already been posted, for example, a common issue seen since the Themida wrapper was introduced around four years ago is that some community members installation of the game are blocked by their security because Themida code has been known to hide malware, (usually an error message is flagged for example 'The executable is corrupted' even though in reality it is not); so as a precaution some anti malware programs will block and even delete the suspect installation files even though the files (i.e. the setup, read me and setup.gcd files are actually totally free from malware. This issue can be solved either by rebooting your computer in safe mode with networking or a quicker method is to temporarily turn off your security software to allow the installation. You could also try white-listing the setup.gcd file. In the almost 12 years this game giveaway site has been operating there has 'never' been a game given away that was infected with malware.

If for any reason you want to contact the giveaway team, for example, you have a game to offer the community, or are unable to download the latest game or other issues that the FAQ's thread or these comments don't cover or solve you can do so HERE

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank MyPlayCity for giving away Royal Roads and also to the game giveaway team, as always, for securing other ways to get free games.
