RELATED: Epic Games Store Free Mystery Game for Christmas Day Revealed, and It's a Big One The Epic Games Store has historically reserved a big game for Christmas Day, December 25, and it delivered once again with Death Stranding. Games released so far include Costume Quest 2, LEGO Builder's Journey, and both the original Fallout and Fallout 2.

This year has continued the celebration with 15 days of free games, starting on December 15 and running through December 29. The standard edition of Death Stranding is now in its place and it's entirely unclear what happened.Įpic Games has made it an annual tradition to give out daily free games for the holiday season. Along the way, Epic Games added fuel to the fire by taking down Death Stranding: Director's Cut with no forewarning. The crush to acquire today's free Epic Games Store gift temporarily crashed the storefront's servers, leaving many confused and frustrated. The game has Kojima’s originality but also his blunt approach to a realistic horror theme.The Epic Games Store has quickly pulled the Death Stranding: Director's Cut as its Christmas Day free game and replaced it with the standard version. It also features extreme cruelty and the death of a BB, which is not a spoiler since it is in the trailer. The developers simply took what worked from the first, discarded what didn't, and then added x100 more emotion into the story. It is unfair to say that DS2 is somehow an extension of the first game. The first Death Stranding was a proof of concept You still set the progress rate of the game, though the (slow at times) pace may be a little jarring for people who haven't played the first game. Though Hideo Kojima’s first Death Stranding featured a lot of traversals, this game really narrows the unnecessary traveling while pulling the story to the front. With a bit of knowledge, you can keep up with this very complicated story. Namely, who Fragile, Higgs, and Sam are, as well as what a BB infant is and what a Death Stranding is. Unlike Metal Gear 5, where fans of the games had a better experience while complete newbies could enjoy the story, you need at least a bit of information on the previous game with DS2.
