Get revolutionary brawler Tonight We Riot free today
Happy May Day, fellow workers.
May 1 is International Workers' Day, and in celebration of the working class and the labour movement that gave us eight-hour working days, you can download a videogame for free. Tonight We Riot is a retro brawler that lets you control a crowd of molotov-hurling revolutionaries. It can be played co-operatively, which seems appropriate, and is about taking to the street and putting the ruling class against the wall—a more cathartic fantasy than stabbing orcs or shooting aliens.
Right now you can download Tonight We Riot from either itch.io or GOG for free. On Steam it's 90% off, since apparently there are rules about making games free for specific durations there, developers Pixel Pushers Union 512 explain, "so we set the price as low as they would let us."
Here are all the free games you can grab right now.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
