It by no means ends. First there are the Xmas gross sales, filled with gaming turkey for me to refill on. Then my aunt confirmed up with Lee Carvallo’s Modern Warfare. And now, post-New Year, the Epic Game Store has simply thrust Darksiders Warmastered Edition, Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition, and Steep into my arms. They’re free from now till Jan 9. I hope the gross sales are nonetheless on in the true world, as I’m going to wish a brand new hard-drive.
Of these three, I’ve solely actually spent quite a lot of time with Darksiders II, which is a wonderful third-person motion game that liberally steals from a number of different good games. It’s rammed with wall-running adventures in a world with mountain-sized eyeballs, tall dwarves, and a pleasant horse. It’s nice, and it actually shouldn’t be free at any level, however there you go.
I didn’t play the primary Darksiders, and I most likely by no means will, however that shouldn’t cease you. After all, how will precisely what’s occurring with the sequel with out taking part in it? I used Wikipedia to find that one of many 4 horsemen, War, is on trial for beginning a battle. That’s the kind of set-up I can help.
Then there’s Steep*. I confess I’d forgotten it ever existed. Ubisoft’s multiplayer, open-world snowboard game didn’t appear to seize a large viewers, however I do have mates who cherished their time getting piste. The snow results are fairly nice.
You have every week to seize these.
*Disclaimer: Steep was developed by Ubisoft Annecy, which is the place my BFF works. Don’t fear, he didn’t work on that game. But the minute I begin writing about The Division 2 is when it is best to all begin booing.
