Here’s your punchy, newsletter-ready version:

PortMaster’s January Glow-Up: Free Games, Ghosts, and Dragon Fire

Forget New Year’s resolutions—this month’s best handheld fix is free. PortMaster just dropped a sweet batch of ready-to-play gems, and no Steam key needed (unless you’re into cosmic horror… more on that later).

Start with Dragon Dragon Fire Fire—yes, that’s the real title. You play a dragon. You spit fire. You destroy stuff. It’s 1987 in your pocket, and we’re not mad about it. Meanwhile, Xargon drops you into a psychedelic archaeology dream where a talking eagle saves your soul. And if you miss Knytt Stories, YKnytt brings back its hazy, beautiful world—with 1200+ fan-made levels. Pure nostalgia fuel.

For the stealthy coffee-break crowd, Harmonist lets you hide in shadows like a very polite ghost. No inventory menus. Just pure, quiet tension. And if you’re feeling extra spooked? Ghost Trap (free, but needs Steam) throws you into purgatory. Your mission: escape… or get really good at dodging ghosts.

Paid ports? Skautfold is the eerie, sanity-bending estate thriller you didn’t know you needed. And Triple Swap Tower? Control three heroes at once. Swap fast. Die faster. Then do it again.

All this, and you haven’t even left your couch. 🎮

Now go play a dragon.
