The online PC game retailer GOG is celebrating its 10th anniversary by giving away a free game to anyone who wants it. Between now and October 6, you can head over to GOG and get a free copy of Shadow Warrior 2--a game that normally sells for $40. To take advantage of the deal, all you need is a free GOG account. You can get the free game here.
The giveaway is the result of a poll the company ran earlier in the week that let customers vote on which game would be free to download. The vote was between Shadow Warrior 2, Firewatch, and Superhot. If you were hoping to get one of the other games for free, all is not lost; for a limited time, they're available at sizable discounts. You can get Firewatch for 75% off ($5) and Superhot for half price ($12.50).
Shadow Warrior 2 is a mystical first-person action game in which you play as an assassin-for-hire named Lo Wang. One thing that's unusual about this game is that Wang is as quick with a penis joke as he is with a gun. In addition to fast-paced sword and firearm combat, this game is drenched in juvenile humor that may appeal to you or repel you, depending on how funny you find jokes about bodily functions and genitals.
The game can be played solo or with up to three friends online. In GameSpot's 8/10 Shadow Warrior 2 review, Mat Paget was less fond of the humor than of the combat. He wrote, "Thankfully for Shadow Warrior 2, it's still a great game to play. Picking off enemies one-by-one with a railgun, demolishing them point-blank with a shotgun, and ripping through them with a chainsaw are just a few of the exciting moments that make it hard to put down."
If that sounds like your kind of game, make sure to grab it before it goes back to $40 on October 6.
