Note that this freebie is the original game and not the better, stranger Director's Cut, but don't let that stop you. It was one of our favourite games of 2020. It's ambitious, audacious, personal, and unique in a way big budget games so rarely are. It also, naturally, has a batshit supernatural science fiction story, with incomprehensible too-long cutscenes and entirely comprehensible horniness for Mads Mikkelsen. Hideo Kojima fans will want to act quickly, however, as the title will only be available through December 26th at 11 a.m. It's almost literally a "walking sim", in that you must consider your footing on uneven terrain, the balance of the packages on your back, and use social construction tools to gradually colonise and construct roads, bridges and other shortcuts on the routes you'll take across terrain. Death Stranding is now free to claim on PC via the Epic Games Store. It's a beautiful open world game in which you play Sam Bridges, who must deliver packages across a post-apocalyptic United States. Freebies are regular on the Epic Games Store anyway, but they're often of a better calibre during sale events.ĭeath Stranding is certainly of a high calibre. On that date, it'll be replaced by a different freebie - and one game will be offered for free for a week each Thursday for the duration of the now underway Epic Mega Sale.
As long as you do it before 4pm BST on May 25th, it's yours forever. Once more Kojima has proven himself as a brave game maker with boundary-probing ideas that will advance and influence the space for years to come.You can head to its Epic Games Store page to add it to your account now.
This ambitious formula-flipper is brimming with empathy and carefully courts cinematic influences, an ensemble cast and a world of eye-watering scale, delivering a sticky gameplay loop to tie it all together and create a console generation-defining experience.Īll of this is complemented by an epic narrative and a meticulously melancholy world that carefully reflects the endangered society we live in, somehow using the surreal and imaginative elements debuted in trailers to deliver impactful truths and commentary about our divided world. Death Stranding is the most unique big-budget game I’ve ever played, a socially-minded injection of inventive ideas into a genre that has long survived by being lazy and brutish.
