GOG's Harvest Sale is giving away Serious Sam: The First Encounter for free Plus, there are over 1500 games reduced by up to 91%. Deals by James Pickard Contributor Updated on 24 Aug 2020 6 comments A brand new Harvest Sale is underway over at that haven of DRM-free PC games that is GOG. And to celebrate, you can grab a copy of Serious Sam: The First Encounter for free. The debut entry in the first-person shooter series from Croteam originally launched on PC back in 2001. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake, Croteam made the decision that bigger is better. Thus, Serious Sam: The First Encounter was packed with huge environments and massive hordes of enemies to storm through - and launched to great praise. It was shortly followed by The Second Encounter around a year later for another barrage of gun battles against alien forces. 2K Games then took over publishing duties for fully-fledged sequel Serious Sam 2, before Devolver Digital assumed that position for the prequel Serious Sam 3: BFE. That's where the series still calls its home, with Croteam set to launch Serious Sam 4 later this year following their fascinating foray into the philosophical with The Talos Principle. Here's your chance to catch up on a bit of history before that, then. Now, how about more news on The Talos Principle 2 soon? Please? Anyway, back to the point of this whole giveaway: the GOG Harvest Sale. Like previous mega sales hosted by the digital retailer, a whopping 1500 games are reduced with discounts of up to 91 per cent. Chances are you'll have some of your own new and old favourites that you'll want to pick up for cheap, but here are a few solid bargains if you're looking for some inspiration.
