For those who never playedAlien Isolation,the first-person survival-horror adaptation of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic launched in 2014. The game follows Amanda Ripley, the daughter of iconicAlienprotagonist Ellen Ripley, as she investigates the disappearance of her mother aboard the Sevastopol space station.
As expected for an adaptation of the seminal franchise,AlienIsolationtasks players with escaping the clutches of a terrifying xenomorph, hiding from the creature as it stalks hallways, hides in vents, and investigates the player’s every move. The game was lorded at release for its unpredictable AI, intimidating central antagonist, and clear respect for its source material.
As forHand of Fate 2,the game’s adungeon-crawling RPGwith a twist. The player’s adventure is entirely defined by a pack of cards held by a mysterious dealer, with the enemies they face, the rewards they receive, and the outcomes of the choices they make all being decided by what he pulls.Hand of Fate 2’sinteresting central idea netted an array of good reviews at release, with critics praising its unique concept and the replayability that stems from it.
Although many likely already redeemed a copy ofAlien Isolationwhen it was free during theEpic Games Store’s 15 Days of Free Games Christmaspromotion, the pairing is without a doubt an enticing reason to log into the storefront next week.
As for what players can claim right now, Daedelic Entertainment’sDeponiais a humorous point and click adventure,Ken Follet’s The Pillars of Earthis a compelling adaptation of the iconic novel of the same name, andThe First Treeis a story-focused title that follows a fox looking for its missing family.
