Control and Cyberpunk had a lot better raytracing performance. I have the same card, and only could get to about 40 to 60 FPS at full HD by switching a couple of options of or lower. I'll stick with the normal Portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxa Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/free-games First free game is Bloons TD 6, and there's a new game every 24 hours. TBH, I'd actually play it. I've played one of the browser-based predecessors before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakkman Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 GOG has a nice freebie today: https://www.gog.com/de/game/broken_sword_directors_cut Can recommend that game, nice classic adventure.

datiswous Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I think people should maybe play the original before the directors cut though. The Directors Cut adds more content, but it is bad for the flow of the story. The original is included (in the gog buy at least). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakkman Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I'm usually not one to complain about free stuff, but, Epic Games definitely set the bar very high, for themselves and others. So far, the freebies were a big disappointment, unless you didn't already own Wolfenstein New Order. Which, frankly though, is a braindead shooter. Really expected something better from them. But, it's probably unjustified to complain. After all, I know that they spent a lot of money for their past freebies, and that they only were so good because they want to promote their store, and give Steam a run for its money. Which is pretty unrealistic in the first place, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakkman Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Shame, it's a great game. And, one of the best world design I've ever seen in a game as well. The forest actually looks like a forest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STiFU Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Mortal Shell is free on epic right now. I rated this game 7/10. Here is my review: Quote Although this Soulslike does not have deep RPG-mechanics, I found it surprisingly hard to get into at first. That is due to three things: 1) The "Rogue-like"-DLC is confusingly integrated into the main game via an NPC; 2) Because of that NPC, I did furthermore not understand the bonfire-mechanic in this game; 3) Many of the control schemes are not properly explained (but there is an ingame manual you can refer to). Fighting is quite tough at first, especially because healing is VERY limited. You can heal yourself using one of your Magical abilities, but those can only be performed after a successful parry. I was really excited that this is supposed to be a parry-based game (much like Sekiro), but I soon found out that the timing of the parry is not reliable at all (more like Dark Souls, bummer!). This is because you have to time two processes simultaneously: the incoming attack and the extremely slow “shield-raising-animation”. The game would’ve been a lot better if the parry was instant! That being said, fighting is still quite fun! The strongest aspects of the game are the mind-boggingly beautiful graphics and sound effects, ‘though. Story is almost non-existent. 7/10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
