Game news Epic Games Store: one of the 2019 GOTYs offered until 5 p.m.!

Epic Games Store = one day, one free game

It’s now a tradition at Epic Games! Every year around Christmasplayers can pick up a whole bunch of titles, which range from AAA to independent party game. No need to spend a single euro, these games are literally offered for 24 hours and, once collected, they remain in the toy library forever.

A good way to discover some productions, which we had missed, or which we could not afford. This year, players were treated to Horizon Chase Turbo, Sable, Wolfenstein: The New Order, LEGO Builder’s Journey, Fallout, Fallout 2 or even Encased or Metro: Last Light Redux. But since yesterday, people with an Epic Games account can get one of the games of the year 2019: Death Stranding!

Deliver packages, and reconnect the world!

Developed by Kojima Productions, Death Stranding tells us the story of Sam Porter Bridges, a parcel delivery man, son of the last President of the United States. The last, because the world is in ruins. strange rains speed up time, and the border with the world of the dead has become porous. If a human dies, they must be cremated quickly, otherwise the body becomes a real bomb, capable of razing a city by exploding. Humans are therefore isolated from each other, almost dare not leave their sheltersthe structures have collapsed, and the political organization is no longer what it used to be.

Sam’s mission is therefore to reconnect human beings, bringing them what they need so that they join a new network, making it possible to rebuild the country. So we have to travel the game world, accepting missions, by managing the amount of things we carry, and adapt its routes to the dangers that arise. Falls due to poor balance, “spirits”, the Stranded, through delivery junkies and a group ready to destroy everything, the dangers are many.

Death Stranding’s playful proposal is far from having left the players indifferent. Some loved it and overall the review was favorably received the new game of Hideo Kojima and his teams. Others did not join to the proposal, seeing little interest in this “parcel delivery simulator. Anyway, the title has been one of the important games of the year 2019offering a Director’s Cut version in 2021, and a sequel, announced at the Game Awards after a long teaser.

It’s here basic version of the game which is offered until tonight 5 p.m., but it contains some additions related to the PC version. In addition to better framerate, photo mode and support for ultra-wide screens, players will be able to, as they progress through the game, obtain:

However, if you want to check out the Director’s Cut version instead, which features new music, new quests, new delivery items, a shooting range and even a race track, there is possible to buy it on the Epic Games Store for the sum of €23.99. As for Death Stranding 2, it will allow the return of Léa Seydoux and Norman Reedus in the roles of Fragile and Sam. We are promised a somewhat special sequel, able to attract players who have not been attracted by the first opus, but the information around the title remains for the moment very few.

A game that hits hard for tonight?

So you still have a few hours to recover Death Stranding, after which a new game will be offered for free ! Clues left by Epic Games, combined with player searches, suggest that the game of the day would be FIST: Forged In Shadow Torch, a metroidvania released in September 2021. Indeed, the clue image posted on the Epic Games Store includes bombs but also a point adorned with large rabbit ears. For many players, there is no doubt that FIST: Forged In Shadow Torch will be unleashed tomorrow.
