PC Game With Over 2,000 ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ Reviews Is Now Free on Steam

Developer Domesticated Ant Games and publisher Dear Villagers have officially pulled the curtain back on Gravity Circuit 2, slated for a 2027 release. To mark the occasion, the team is offering the original Gravity Circuit for free on PC via Steam, allowing players to permanently add it to their libraries for the next two weeks.

Gravity Circuit serves as a nostalgic love letter to retro platformers, drawing clear inspiration from the high-octane spirit of Capcom’s Mega Man Zero series. Set within a bustling world inhabited by sentient robots, the game captures the frenetic energy of 90s-era sidescrolling action. With 12 unique stages to master, each level introduces fresh mechanics, ensuring the experience remains engaging from start to finish.

Here is the official premise of the game:

In a future defined by sentient machinery, civilization faces a familiar terror: the re-emergence of the Virus Army. Long thought defeated, this ancient threat has resurfaced with designs on total dominion. With the Guardian Corps left in shambles, the world turns to a veteran of the previous conflict—Kai, an operative who wields the enigmatic power of the Gravity Circuit. As the planet’s final safeguard, you must traverse diverse, futuristic landscapes to dismantle the mastermind behind this encroaching darkness.

Bolstered by over 2,000 “overwhelmingly positive” user reviews, Gravity Circuit has cemented its status as a must-play title, making a sequel a natural evolution. You have until June 14 at 1 p.m. EDT to visit Steam and claim your copy.

If you enjoy the fast-paced gameplay of the first entry, you can look forward to the sequel’s arrival in 2027 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC.

The freebie festivities don’t end there. If you’re hunting for more bargains, the cryptid-themed puzzle adventure Moonrise Fall is currently free on Steam until Tuesday, June 2 at 1 p.m. EDT. Additionally, those seeking an arcade-style racing thrill can pick up Drift86—which boasts a “very positive” rating from over 1,700 users—free of charge until Wednesday, June 3 at 12 p.m. EDT.

Don’t forget to check the Epic Games Store as well, as they continue to cycle through their own lineup of weekly free offers.
