Ultimate Puzzles Countries

In Brief

Ultimate Puzzles Countries is from the same series as Ultimate Puzzles Nature and Ultimate Puzzles: Animals that were given away on the 1st Feb and the 24th Feb respectively. It's a jigsaw puzzle, created using the unity engine. When you open the game you will see a left and right arrow under the bottom of the image of the jigsaw. To see the other jigsaw images, click on the image and drag it to the left or right to reveal the other images. As with the previous two jigsaw's given away, there only appears to be four images to complete.

Each of the four puzzles is made up of 16 square pieces. which are placed on a 4 x 4 grid. You can turn each piece by clicking on it to bring it to the right orientation. Once a puzzle piece has been placed in the correct position, it locks in place. If you try to place a piece on an element of the grid that it doesn't belong on, it will jump back to the periphery where other pieces are located.

These puzzles are very simple and are probably only suitable for younger children between the ages of 6 to 8 (maybe with adult supervision). An adult could easily complete the whole game in around 10 to 15 minutes at the very least. I think the developer is asking far too much over on Itch.io for just four jigsaw images at $5 per game. If all of the series were to be combined, it would seem fairer, but there are free jigsaw programs available online that are much better than this; okay we are getting this free today) Also, as mentioned in a previous jigsaw giveaway there was one called Infinite Jigsaw Puzzle, given away thirteen years ago which had the ability to change the shape and number of pieces from a child friendly 24 piece to over a thousand pieces, plus you could categorise and add as many of your own images as you wished.

Today is your last chance to get the latest games from Epic, that includes two games Absolute Drift; an excellent minimalistic top down drift game and even better Rage 2; an excellent post apocalyptic first person shooter, with the ability to drive vehicles in an open world. {Created by one of my favourite game studios, Avalanche Studios with ID Software. I'm playing two of Avalanches games cooperatively with friends over the coming weeks called 'Second Extinction' and 'Generation Zero'; they are also the creators of the fantastic Just Cause franchise}. From 4pm this afternoon (UK time) we will be getting the excellent Lovecraftian Steam punk roguelike and atmospheric top down RPG Sunless Sea; i.e. Take the helm of your steamship and set sail for the unknown! Sunless Sea is a game of discovery, loneliness and frequent death, set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London, with 84% of over 6000 community reviews giving it a positive thumbs up. Definitely a game worth having, especially if you like any of the descriptive words I've used to describe this game, and, more importantly for free; usually costs £13.99. There is a dlc for the game available called Zubmariner, which isn't free (I think)?

Please see Delenn's threads for Steam and Non Steam freebies HERE and HERE respectively. It’s worth adding these to your favourites and checking regularly for available freebies. Most are only free for a specific time. If you miss the deadline you’ll miss out. Once added to your account, it’s yours to keep.

I'm posting the following information about another game series i.e. the ArmA/Operation Flashpoint FPS franchise, which I highly recommend you check out. They are another of my top favourite games and IMO the number one FPS shooter series available today ( and far better than the Battlefield and Call of Duty franchise'). All versions are on sale at the moment from 75% to 80% (apart from the later Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, which is dirt cheap anyway (i.e. £6.99 when not on sale; I paid £30 when it was released). Sadly Operation Flashpoint Red River (the sequel to Dragon Rising) has been removed from sale at the behest of the developer (don't know why)? .

If you want a brilliant but very cheap FPS game, the original 'Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis' and it's expansion ' Operation Flashpoint: Resistance', released in 2001 (the spiritual successor to the 1995 Gravon: Real Virtuality); renamed ArmA: Cold War Assault, is on sale for only £0.69 It's a massive game with an open world feel, but with loads of missions, and the ability to drive vehicles and fly helicopters. It includes all the original extra's which I think included three expansion packs. You'll find it HERE, better still you can get the original, plus ArmA Gold Edition (contains ArmA 1 plus expansion called Queens Gambit and ArmA 2 with all dlc's. ArmA 2 is still an amazing looking game and has hundreds of Steam workshop items available to download for free once you have the game. You'll find the ArmA X: Anniversary Edition HERE, for £5.99 (I paid that for just one of the four DLC's for ArmA 2 when they were originally released. It's still one of my top five FPS games ever and is more a true simulation than an arcade shooter.

If you want the latest ArmA 3, which has amazing graphics that are up to date you can get it for 75% off for £5.99 HERE. There are hundreds of workshop items available for free, though may of them require various dlc packs for them to work. But there are still a massive choice just for the base game. There are quite a lot of dlc's for the latest game, most of which are also on sale; however, the base game is still an amazing game and for the discount price amazing value.

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game and it found zero hits from 58 antimalware engines. The downloaded executable may include some low level adware that only opens your browser to Falcowares home page after the game has installed, but does not inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcowares home page it earns them some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. You can see the results of the scan via the following link:
