The newest game Epic are freely giving free on their digishop is Rime, 2017’s nonviolent explore-o-puzzle-a-platformer made by Tequila Works. Y’know, the one that folks could have tried to elucidate to you with comparisons to Ico or Journey, an excessive amount of handwaving, and the phrases like “kinda” and “sorta”. I nonetheless haven’t purchased a game on Epic’s retailer however I positive am nabbing all of the freebies.
Head on over to the Epic Games Store so as to add Rime to your account for keepsies. Its ordinary worth is £30.
Our former John (RPS in peace) gave it an enormous ol’ thumbs-up in his Rime review.
“I feel like Rime will be a game celebrated by those who already love the third-person genre, those au fait with Tomb Raider-style climbing and jumping, and environmental puzzles. It’s certainly celebrated by me. But I wonder if it might have a harder time winning the affections of those who aren’t already sold on the concept, simply because of the swathes of assumptions it makes about a player’s fluency. Or maybe I’m being patronising? I’m not entirely sure. What I do know is I’ve had such a splendid time with Rime, so deeply enjoyed its expansive and sumptuous world, and found myself not missing the attack button at all. Not when there’s a sing/shout button that does so many more interesting things.”
Now it’s free, you don’t have to be bought on the idea to already be bought on getting it. Though I perceive some could have to be bought on the Epic Store, thanks on your irate e-mails.
