Download the New Hyper Light Drifter: A Glorious Freebie on the Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store has done it again, offering gamers a chance to download not one, but two fantastic games for free. For this week only, you can grab Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden and Hyper Light Drifter, both of which have received widespread critical acclaim.

Mutant Year Zero is a tactical action game that has been praised for its real-time stealth mechanics. Players must use strategy and cunning to overcome enemies, making every move count in order to succeed. The game's developer, Fresh3 Films, has done an excellent job of crafting a game that is both challenging and rewarding, making it a must-play for fans of the genre.

Hyper Light Drifter, on the other hand, is a top-down action game that has been praised for its beautiful visuals and addictive gameplay. Players control a drifter who is tasked with exploring a mystical world, fighting off enemies, and solving puzzles in order to uncover the secrets of the land. The game's developer, Heart Machine, has done an excellent job of crafting a game that is both visually stunning and mechanically sound.

Even more glorious is bungling an assassination, winding up in a thousand-degree frying pan as a result, and somehow surviving it. What a glorious thing it is to slowly, painstakingly, silently transform an area patrolled by half a dozen rock-hard baddies into one that's just got one or two suddenly highly vulnerable guys left standing. Don't be as daft as me.

Ilec was jolly pleased with Mutant Year Zero's whole dealio, and especially with how it handled stealth in real-time. Our former Alec (RPS in peace) proffered plenty of praise in his Mutant Year Zero review but I, a fool, did not heed his wisdom until a demo came along this year to show me oh yep, it is great.

MYZ is a wild freebie, both because it came out less than one year ago and because it's chuffing lovely. Until next Thursday, you can grab the tip-top tactical action of Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden and the top-down zip-zoom explore-o-action of Hyper Light Drifter for free.

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the Epic Games Store and download these two fantastic games today. You won't regret it!
