As it has since 2019, the store Epic Games Store continues to give away thousands of copies of video games to all those who have downloaded their digital platform. According to statistics released by the very Tim Sweeney (CEO of Epic Games and creator of Unreal Engine), the space has already delivered a total of 255 games for free since the initiative began. After finishing 2021 giving away the trilogy of Tomb Raider (from the 2013 reboot), the platform fulfilled in January the Gods Will Fall (Clever Beans) and the Galactic Civilizations 3 (Stardock). Now it’s the turn of Abandoned, a game released in August 2020 by the independent developer Mighty Polygon.
Abandoned build a universe of puzzles in the first person, where the protagonist Angie Patel is a scientist who is trapped in Chandra, a private pole of technological innovation located on the moon that has fallen into ruins. While figuring out how to escape through puzzles involving the use of gravity and magnetism, Angie discovers that there is a hidden political plot that led to the destruction of space. But that discovery can cost dearly and players will have to decide how to solve the mess he accidentally got himself into. With mechanics similar to those of Portal (Valve) o The Talos Principle (Croteam), the scenarios and challenges of Abandoned they provide a very nice upgrade to puzzles that play with the laws of physics in sci-fi settings.
The game combines several elements that make it a good option to experience during the weekend. Added to the mechanics powered by gravity and magnetism are the complexity of the puzzles that will test the player’s skills and the detailed environments that, depending on the presentation of the game, allow each instance to represent a new challenge. All accompanied by a story that invites you to discover different clues and a soundtrack that aims to be immersive to enhance elements of a “psychological science fiction thriller”.
Thus, Epic Game Store meets its weekend commitment and invites everyone to download for free a title that went unnoticed by the general public, but whose overall score points to a hidden treasure. For the next weekend, the store advanced that will be available DAEMON X MACHINA (XSEED Games), a 2020 indie that adds mecha battles that hit the nostalgia of the players of the Macross.
