This Week's Free Games

Arcade Paradise

"Arcade Paradise" is a fun Indie game that takes you back to the 90s. You play as Ashley, a young woman who has just inherited the family laundromat. However, making a living off of dirty laundry does not exactly entice you. Instead, you decide to turn the old laundromat into the ultimate arcade. The game contains over 35 different arcade games, each fully realized with its own unique gameplay, stories, missions, and high scores.

"Arcade Paradise" has received praise from players and critics alike. It cleverly combines management sim elements with wonderfully designed arcade games, which makes it uniquely fun. The game is usually available for $20, but will be free this week only.

Maid of Sker

"Maid of Sker" is a first-person survival horror game. It is set in a remote hotel with a gory and strange history from British folklore. You are only armed with a defensive sound device and must utilize stealth tactics to avoid certain death at the hands of your enemies. The game is inspired by the haunting Welsh tale of Elisabeth Williams. It tells the story of a family empire driven by torture, slavery, and a supernatural mystery. 

Critic's opinions on this game are divided. Some praise the well-thought-out story, while others gripe about the gameplay, describing it as a chore rather than a game. The only way for you to figure out how fun this game is, is to play it. It will be available for free starting next week. The normal price of this game is $22.

A Sneak Peek on Next Week's Free Game:

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch

This Metroidvania style game lets you explore more than a dozen unique areas across an interesting map. Equipped with the Fist, Drill, and Whip, it is your duty to fight back against the invaders who took over your city six years ago. As a former soldier in the resistance war, you have been living in seclusion since then.

Now, however, your friend has been forcibly arrested, and you are out for revenge. Throughout your fight for freedom, you discover a much bigger scheme between the mafia, the rebellion, and the legion, that you become involved in. 

Players rate this game with 4.5 out of 5 stars. Even critics agree that this game is certainly a strong recommendation. It is normally available for 30 Euros, but you can get it for free next week.
