Perpetual Steam Game Giveaway

>>> RULES (READ FIRST!) <<<
===========================
1. Select a game you'd like to play.
2. Leave a comment below letting me know which game you're interested in
3. Add me as a friend on Discord (@duhnuhnuh_duhnuhnuh) or Steam, and send me a message so I can give you the Steam key
4. Play and review the game. Please try to write at least a paragraph. I'm interested to hear what you thought. After a bad experience, please note that I will be checking to make sure you didn't plagiarize your review. Plagiarism = ban from participating
5. And I mean actually play and review it. Not "dick around for 30 minutes, write two sentences, and ask for another key". Repeat offenders will likely find themselves unable to pick new games
6. If you've written a thoughtful review of the first game you picked, you can select another. You can repeat the process over and over as long as you review!
7. These are given away on a first come, first served basis, and you can only pick one game at a time. I won't "hold" or "reserve" anything, so choose wisely
===========================
Games given away since 12 April, 2024: 64
===========================
I buy too many bundles and sometimes wind up with duplicates or games I know I'll never play, so I'd like to give back to the Backloggd community. Don't worry, it's not all bundle trash (but there is some here if you're a dedicated dumpster diver). I'm making these free, but with the caveat that you only get one until you write a review and link it back to me.

I will unfortunately have to delete comments from time-to-time since Backloggd doesn't have an option to put them in reverse chronological order. I'll keep the giveaway counter up-to-date [update: later comments don't backfill to the first page when old ones are deleted. I'll stop removing them]

Note: These are all Steam keys and can only be redeemed on that platform. You can redeem the key I send you on this Steam page if you're logged in. Please note, some keys may have geographic restrictions. Most are ROW and should work anywhere, but please note that a few may be NA region only.

@Benagabenjen: Sure thing; could you add me to either Discord or Steam (info in list description) so I can send you the key?
@liquidddingle: Just saw your review; thanks for participating! Hopefully you'll have a little more fun with Calico. I'll send you the key on Steam in a few minutes
@tanman: Thanks for the review! I still see our convo on Discord, so I'll drop the key for Mutazione there

Hey, finally got to Forgotten City and wrote a review as requested! Fantastic game I probably wouldn't have bought myself so really grateful this gave me the chance to play it to see I should have given it more of a chance. It's exactly my type of game.

@FallenGrace, thanks so much for participating, and additional thanks for the excellent review!

This is a really cool idea! Around how long would you say a person has to write their review before it gets annoying? Hopefully you've already had some good reviews out of this.

@FrozenRoy: Thank you! There's no time limit on the review; the main rule is just that you have to post a review of the first game you chose before selecting another. I didn't want the reviewing part of the giveaway to feel like homework. Thankfully, about 20 people have reviewed the games they picked out. I should probably start an "alumni" list with links to show them off

I think an alumni list with links would be great, "Perpetual Steam Game Giveaway Reviews" or something.

If you don't mind then, I would like Virgo Versus the Zodiac if possible. I'm Brokuu on Steam, I sent you a friend request but I dunno if you'd realize it was me. It might take me some amount of time to get to it, but.

@FrozenRoy: Sure thing! I see your request, so I'll send it in just a moment

Pretty cool idea! I've actually played a few of these before. I'd like Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption; I saw someone playing it years ago and it's stuck with me ever since, and I'm a Demon'sBloodSekiroEldenSouls veteran whose beaten all of them. I'll send you a friend request on Steam.

@Kholdseid, I'm unfortunately out of town currently, but I'll be back on Sunday. I see your Steam friend request, though, so I'll send it when I'm back home

very nice list and idea! if it's still available can i grab Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko’s Choice when you're back home and settled? i played and enjoyed the base game a few years back but haven't gotten around to this expansion yet.

i'll send a steam friend request.

@thehotrock: Sure thing! I see your friend request on Steam. I'm unfortunately out of town and away from my computer currently, but I get back tomorrow. Should be able to send it then

Hi! I have been thinking of giving Patch Quest a try for a while now. Just friend requested you on Steam @deadly_fat_dude

@PapaJaeger, Excellent, I see your Steam friend request, so I'll drop it in just a minute!

Is Rebel Galaxy Outlaw still available? I played the first a few years ago and really liked it.

1 month ago

@FallenGrace: Yup! I'll drop it to you in just a sec
Love this idea. I looked through the list, but there's not really anything I'm interested in at the moment that I haven't already played. Just wanted to say it's appreciated that you thought to go about doing this. This might motivate me to try something similar in the future! A lot of the times I look at a steam bundle and don't want half of it so I just pass. Doing this makes it more worth while, for sure!

Hey! Any chance you still have Going Under? I added you on steam. Thanks so much for doing this!

1 month ago

@DoubleGunz_on_YT: Thanks! Yeah, I noticed my "spare keys" spreadsheet just kept getting longer and longer, so I thought it'd be fun to share the games I wasn't optimistic about being able to trade on barter.vg. I also really enjoy reading reviews here, and with several of the giveaway games being on my backlog, it's nice to hear someone's perspective before diving in

@gt420: Yup, still have it. I'm traveling today, but I'll be getting back home tonight. I see your Steam request, so I'll send it out once I return!

1 month ago

Howdy!
I admit I've always wanted to play Dishonored and I saw that game was up for grabs
I might take a bit to get around to playing it though...

This is an amazing initiative, very cool to see.

This is unironically a fantastic initiative, chapeau bas.
May I get Batman Arkham City?

1 month ago

@Odyssey3004: No worries, there's no time limit on the giveaway. Didn't want the review part to feel like homework or something with a due date. I'll send it over on Discord in a minute

@AmazingPenis: Thanks! The keys don't do anyone any good sitting on my spreadsheet, so it's nice to see them getting played

@Jerychon: Thank you, and absolutely! I see your request on Discord, so I'll send it over in just a moment

1 month ago

@pixelsaturn: Sure thing! I see your friend request on Steam, so I'll send it right over

Hi, I was just wondering if you still had the key for Strider?

1 month ago

@Poefred: Sure thing, I see your friend request, so I'll send it out in just a moment

@Remylover: Sure do! Did you add me on Discord? I seen an invite, but it doesn't match your username here. Just wanted to confirm

1 month ago

@duhnuhnuh Oh duh, sorry. My discord is @lionel062738. Thanks again.

Awesome, thanks again!

Hi, is Aces & Adventures still available? I love playing the deckbuilding genre, and this would be a nice addition to my rather small rotation of such games (Slay the Spire and Monster Train). Add the poker mechanics and I'm intrigued; it's been on my Steam wishlist, same as Balatro. Thank you.
