The New Year’s gift marathon 2022 continues.
Day 10 (December 24, 2022): On the eve of Gregorian Christmas, considered the main winter holiday in Western countries, the Epic Games Store decided to give away a really worthy project: Metro Last Light Redux.
Recall that Metro Last Light Redux is a visually improved version of the sequel to Artyom’s adventures in post-apocalyptic Moscow: the actions in Last Light have mostly moved “outside”, which the developers once very pleased gamers with.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to pick up a gift in Russia. The reasons, we believe, do not need to be named, since they lie on the surface.
Day 9 (December 23, 2022): Epic Games decided that giving out gifts of the second and third grade is the main theme of this New Year’s Eve marathon, so they did not deviate from this peculiar rule, and today they started giving away the tactical RPG Encased in a fantasy setting .
The action of Encased takes place in the alternative 70s of the last century. According to the story of the game, an anomalous object was discovered in some remote desert, the contents of which we need to explore.
In Russia, this project is not available due to the curtailment of Prime Matter’s activities in the country. If you still want to receive this gift, you will have to register a new account indicating a different region.
Day 8 (December 22, 2022): Stepping over the equator, the festive distribution of games in the Epic Games Store has finally begun to take on a pleasant shape: today, not only three video games were presented to our attention, but also belonging to the cult series. So, from today, everyone can pick up Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics Brotherhood of Steel in the Epic Games Store.
These titles represent what many gamers would call “true” Fallouts: classic isometric-style post-apocalyptic RPGs replete with mechanics that Bethesda subsequently abandoned in its first-person approach to Fallout RPGs.
Despite the fact that Fallout is now owned by Bethesda, and through it, ZeniMax Media, which, in turn, now belongs to Microsoft, which has left the Russian market, you can pick up the above gifts in the Russian region without any problems. It is not yet clear whether this is a mistake or not, but the author of these lines took the gifts without taking the tambourine out of the box.
If you experience an error when receiving a gift, then the only option left is to register a new account on the Epic Games Store under a VPN with an “unsanctioned” region.
Day 7 (December 21, 2022): The New Year is getting closer, the distribution of gifts in the Epic Games Store will cross the “equator” tomorrow, but today we were presented with a geometric puzzle LEGO Builder’s Journey, which you can pick up for eternal use within a day.
LEGO Builder’s Journey is a LEGO-based puzzle game where you have to complete levels by building various abstruse (and not so) figures. Despite the fact that the Danish manufacturer of designers has curtailed its activities in Russia, you can get this video game directly in EGS.
Day 6 (December 20, 2022): It seemed that nothing worthy of attention in the Epic Games Store would be distributed this year, as today the store arranged a pleasant surprise and started distributing the action movie Wolfenstein The New Order about the adventures of BJ Blaskowitz in full controlled by the Third Reich.
Unfortunately, although the gift is pleasant, it is impossible to pick it up in Russia due to the departure of Zenimax Media, or rather, Microsoft, which now owns it, from the Russian market. Thus, in order to receive Wolfenstein The New Order, you need to register a new account on the Epic Games Store using a VPN for this and choosing a different, unauthorized region when registering.
Day 5 (December 19, 2022): Commenting on the quality of the games being given away in this year’s marathon on the Epic Games Store probably doesn’t make much sense anymore – the surprise for us will already be the distribution of something truly worthy. Be that as it may, the marathon continues, and today you can pick up Them’s Fightin’ Herds 2D fighting game.
The game is a fighting game featuring what the developers call “adorable critters”. Their level of charm is, by definition, a matter of taste, but the genre itself is sure to interest many video game fans.
The holiday marathon of gifts in EGS will last until December 31st.
Day 4 (December 18, 2022): The gift marathon on the Epic Games Store continues, and the further into the “woods”, the stronger the idea that if you wanted to get expensive gifts, you should have either done it as part of the weekly giveaways in store, or as part of the New Year’s Eve marathon last year and the year before, because so far the holiday cycle at EGS is not particularly encouraging. In any case, you can pick up a gift as a placeholder for the toy library, and today the indie adventure Sable has become such a project.
The game follows a character named Sable on a journey to explore the wonders of ancient civilizations long gone.
Despite the fact that this project is designed for a great connoisseur of the genre, over the past fifteen months since its release, he has collected even a little user feedback, but they are all classified as “very positive”.
Day 3 (December 17, 2022): The third day also did not please us with anything particularly remarkable, which is slowly beginning to indicate that the current giveaway in EGS has every chance of becoming the poorest for worthy content. However, to replenish the game library, it will do: today you can pick up the Costume Quest 2 adventure.
The project was published in 2014 and received very restrained press reviews.
Day 2 (December 16, 2022): The second day of the giveaway on the Epic Games Store did not surprise us with anything big or desirable, but, nevertheless, the circumstances and the very essence of this note oblige us to mention its (giveaway) participant. So, from tonight and within the next twenty-four hours, everyone can pick up at the Horizon Chase Turbo store.
This project is an indie racing arcade game inspired by the hits of the 80s and 90s of the last century and recreating the classic arcade gameplay. The project is designed for a connoisseur of the genre, so in most cases it will remain “gathering dust” on the virtual shelf of the EGS game library.
In total, as part of the New Year’s Eve marathon, the Epic Games Store intends to distribute fifteen gifts. So check back every evening and check out new offers.
Day 1 (December 15, 2022): Rumors that the Epic Games Store will host another festive New Year’s Eve giveaway marathon this year have been circulating the Web for a relatively long time, and the fact that these rumors are confirmed today did not come as a big surprise . So, the cycle of giveaways has begun, and the first of them was the indie strategy Bloons TD 6 from the Ninja Kiwi team.
The project is a cooperative strategy for four, where you need to complete tasks, fight bosses and earn trophies. In general, the gift, as for the first in the distribution, is rather weak.
It should be noted that since many publishers have suspended their activities in Russia, it is possible that within the framework of this marathon, some projects will be inaccessible in our country. In any case, we in the editorial office will continue to update this note, because, firstly, we need consistency, and secondly, you can always register a new EGS account using a VPN and pick up a gift already on it.
