Highlights of December’s Free Games
It Takes Two
Renowned for its innovative gameplay, It Takes Two stands out as one of the best co-op experiences in gaming. Players step into the shoes of Cody and May, a couple navigating a whimsical world filled with imaginative challenges. As they work together to overcome obstacles, they also confront the issues plaguing their relationship. This game has been celebrated for its creative design and engaging storyline since its release, and fans are eagerly anticipating news of future projects from director Josef Fares and his team at Hazelight Studios.
Aliens: Dark Descent
For those who prefer a more intense experience, Aliens: Dark Descent offers a thrilling real-time strategy gameplay set in the iconic Alien universe. Players command a squad of Colonial Space Marines, tasked with surviving a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on the moon of Lethe. With communication cut off and danger lurking at every corner, strategy and customization of your Marines’ skills and weapons become crucial for survival. While the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive, it authentically immerses players in the dark and suspenseful world of the Alien franchise.

Lastly, Temtem introduces a fresh twist on the beloved creature-collection genre. This vibrant game invites players to explore the Airborne Archipelago, capturing and training a variety of creatures known as Temtem.
