There's Still Time To Grab This Free PC Game
Deliver a message with the latest free game on Epic.
The Epic Games Store is offering another free game through its store. This time it's The Messenger, the retro throwback that takes inspiration from the early Ninja Gaiden games as well as exploration games like Metroid. It will be available through November 21.
The Messenger is notable for its humorous writing and a time-travel mechanic that plays into the exploration challenges. You're accompanied by a demon companion who cracks wise and revives you after death. The Messenger usually costs $20, but if you add it to your Epic Games library during the free window it will be yours forever. Developer Sabotage Studio also has released the game's first free DLC, Picnic Panic, which will be included with the copy.
"The Messenger takes the best parts of the action-platformers it takes influence from and reinterprets them well," Alexander Pan said in GameSpot's review. "With clever writing, well-designed levels, and balanced difficulty curve, the game continuously hooks you with enticing skill-based challenges and satisfying payoffs. Your character might have an immediate imperative to delivering a world-saving scroll, but the journey there is definitely one to savor."
The next free game on the Epic Games Store will be Bad North. For more ways to save money on your gaming habit, check out our Black Friday coverage below.
