Grab it from the Epic Games Store by June 9
Oh hey,Wolfenstein: The New Orderis free.It’s up for grabson the Epic Games Store this week, and you’ve got untilThursday, June 9to claim this (worth playing!) PC game.
It’s something that many of us have already played by now thanks to years and years of deals, but I’m sure some of you reading this haven’t tried it yet, and I’d nudge you in that direction. I’m trying to put myself back in that 2014 headspace right now.
I remember being surprised by how much I enjoyed the story — though, at the time, I was admittedly coming in for the FPS action, not necessarily the narrative. You can’t help but root for B.J. Blazkowicz every step of the way, andWolfenstein: The New Orderfeels really personal. You’re out to brutalize every Nazi you see, naturally, but there are hard-hitting themes and genuine character moments in the mix, too. MachineGames swung for the fences, and it paid off;The New Ordershowed up in Game of the Year discussions.
With that said, even if you lack a soft spot for theWolfensteinseries (or have no personal history with it whatsoever), you may absolutely have a good time with this game.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossuswas an increasingly out-there sequel, and not all of its zanier moments landed, but I still mostly dug the game and would be super on board for a (hopefully more well-rounded)Wolfenstein III. Yes,Indiana Jonesis cool too. But come on!
Next week’s free game is a mystery
Fans will be playing the waiting game for a while, it seems. At least next week, the Epic Games Storewill be backwith another freemystery gameon Thursday, June 9.
