Epic has announced the next batch of titles it’ll be giving away on the Epic Games Store, with Deux Ex: Mankind Divided and The Bridge both getting the freebie treatment starting Thursday, 14th March.
Starting with Deux Ex: Mankind Divided, it’s the fifth instalment in Square Enix’s stealthy, shooty sci-fi series and a direct sequel to 2012’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Once again cyber-augmented series protagonist Adam Jensen returns, and the ensuing adventure was deemed to be a “smart, handsome and weighty addition to the stealth-action genre” in Eurogamer’s Recommended review.
As for The Bridge, it’s a puzzle game created by Ty Taylor that’s described as “Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher”. It’s a direction-flipping, gravity shifting adventure that challenges players to manoeuvre the world to reach the exit each time. Eurogamer quite liked this one on release in 2013, even if it sometimes feels like ” the taster course for a more satisfying meal kept frustratingly off the menu.”
