    Need accounts for both Lenovo's web site AND Gamesplanet beside Steam.
    Yeah, not my type of game and too much work for it. Pass for me! I'm
    pretty sure I played its free weekend too and wasn't impressed.

    Yeah, too much work. Hard pass for me. Thanks for the post though Ant.

    Not everybody is into that. But some are. Myself, I sort of liked
    "Lawn Mowing Simulator" but since I already get the same experience
    from my truck-sims, I didn't stick with it very long.
    But if I weren't already a truck-sim fanatic, I might have become a
    mowing nutcase instead ;-)

    It's too bad the less popular sequel, "Pubic Trim Simulator" which
    used the same engine didn't get enough marketing press. The visuals
    were a bit more innovative.

    If you want to see all the free games on steam:

    https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&maxprice=free&supportedlang=english&ndl=1

    13,259 results.

    That's all the number you could want and more.

    Wow, that's a lot. I didn't know https://store.steampowered.com/app/2795000/The_WereCleaner/ was in Steam too. I briefly played it in my iPhone. Amusing game. Why does it list videos like https://store.steampowered.com/app/804320/Papers_Please__The_Short_
    Film/? :P

    I was going to check often with newest to oldest: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&maxprice=free&supportedlang=english&ndl=1, but I also want to show high ratings too.

    Wow. And I thought the shovelware bin at OfficeMax was a complete
    dumpster fire.

    A better site is https://steamdb.info/upcoming/free/ which shows new
    free promotions, as opposed to listing every free-to-play Indie gunk
    game ever thrown up onto Steam's marketplace.

    That returns

    "Looks like there are currently no free promotions that we can detect."

    For now. I check there daily.

    Yeah, needs more ways to sort or exclude at the same time.� I'd really
    like to sort by some vector of both high reviews and high numbers of reviews, or set a minimum number of reviews.� I don't need to see a game with 95% that only had the dev's friend's review it and one guy who actually played it and didn't like it.


    I was playing around with it, and searched for Ant. There were 31, but really I only saw these two that were really ant based, they both look possibly interesting:

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2392040/Antbassador/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/434510/Formicide/

    You can of course search for other tags. Apparently there are 100 free souls-likes for instance.

    Thanks. They got good ratings too.
