The Black Friday sales are underway, and digital retailerFanaticalhas plenty of PC games discounted, most of them in the form of Steam keys. As well as the discounts Fanatical is giving away a free game. It’s, let me check my notes here, 2019 multiplayer kart-racer Garfield Kart: Furious Racing.
Right now, the sequel to Garfield Kart is sitting on auser rating of 89% positive on Steam, but it’s hard to know if that’s because it’s genuinely better than you might expect from a Garfield-themed racing game or if Steam’s users, who have also given it the “Cult Classic” tag, are just being trolls. I was skeptical about Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed as well, but it turned out to be one of the best in the genre.
Since it’ll set you back precisely zero dollars, if you’re at all interested in driving around while pretending to be Garfield, Jon, Odie, Nermal, Arlene, Liz, Harry, or Squeak, whoever those last two are, you may as well find out for yourself. All you have to do issign up to Fanatical’s newsletterand connect your Steam and Fanatical accounts to get a free Steam key.
