The Steam catalog has once again been updated with a fresh batch of free games, though this time there are fewer titles with exceptionally high ratings than during the previous giveaway. However, among the new releases, there are some that truly deserve gamers’ attention thanks to their solid user reviews, with Crawler, Fall Queen, and Lost Light standing out the most.
