As for what’s available now,Rage 2is a big get for PC players, with the id Software and Avalanche team-up standing as one of Bethesda’s biggest games of 2019. The post-apocalyptic first-person shooter sees players assume the role of Walker: a super-powered soldier that has to trek across the wasteland in an effort to stop the evil General Cross. The game was lorded for its strong shooting mechanics and chaotic gameplay, and although it did receive notable criticism, it’s definitely one that’s worth a play while it’s up for grabs.
Meanwhile,Absolute Drift: Zen Editionis a top-downracing gamethat focuses on players pulling off stylish drifts around corners. It originally launched back in 2015, boasting decent reviews from several major outlets due to its simple but compelling central mechanics. The game also features a catchy drum and bass soundtrack and plenty of levels to complete, making it a fun smaller game that’s definitely worth a look.
Next week’s offering,Sunless Sea,provides something fairly different from this week’s shooter and racer duo. The game is a survival-focused horror RPG, seeing players man a boat as they navigate through a treacherous, Victorian-Gothic underworld ocean known as the Unterzee. Along the way, they can look forward to battling horrifying monsters, dealing with madness, managing resources, and spreading their legend. It garnered unanimously positive reviews at release, with several outlets even givingSunless Seaperfect scores. It’s sure to be one to watch when it’s free to play starting February 25.
