Game news Epic Games Store: a free post-apocalyptic role-playing game this December 22, take advantage of it quickly!
You start to know the song, at Christmas time, it’s Epic Games that makes the elves work! Since December 15, you can get a different game every day without paying a single euro. And if the trend was already post-apocalyptic yesterday, it is again the case today!
Summary
- A hidden pearl?
- Very heavy for tomorrow?
A hidden pearl?
Forget chocolates and other sweets, if you’re still looking for the best advent calendar, Epic Games has it! As every year, the publisher indeed offers from December 15 to offer all its users a different game daily, which you can then keep for life. And if they have already delighted us with a few nuggets like Wolfenstein The New Order or the first three Fallout, it’s the turn of the less famous Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG to end up under the tree today.
The more English-speaking will have quickly guessed it, under this extended title hides a science fiction role-playing game taking place in a post-apocalyptic universe. Said like that, one could almost believe that it is more or less a Fallout, but it is not. Even if it means making comparisons with other games better known to the general public, rather imagine a kind of Divinity Original Sin or Pathfinder, but in a very different context.
Rated 14/20 in our columns, Encased has stood out for its creative and coherent universe, as well as its strong replayability. If you’re the type to enjoy the post-apo genre and are looking for a game to keep you busy for a good part of the winter, then you could give the free game of the day a try. Be careful though, you only have until tomorrow at 5 p.m. to pick it up, so be quick!
Very heavy for tomorrow?
If some of you may be disappointed with today’s game after the bomb that was dropped yesterday, don’t worry! As usual, in addition to revealing the game of the day, Epic Games is also taking advantage of the end of the day to give some clues about the one that will follow the next day thanks to a few icons on a gift paper.
As much to tell you that for this time, it will not be necessary to be a great detective to understand what awaits us tomorrow! Between the letter M repeated many times and the several occurrences of a metro appearing on the wrapping paper, there is no doubt that we should be able to enjoy at least one game from the Metro license at 5 p.m. on December 24.
It therefore seems that this Christmas period is placed under the sign of the post-apocalyptic. If some might see it as a kind of bad omen for the year 2023, fans of the genre will certainly be delighted to be able to add a few titles to their toy library without spending a single euro. Anyway, we’ll meet you tomorrow at 5 p.m. to find out if the clues were leading us in the right direction.
