Spring is not even right here but—March 19 is the official kickoff date—however already we have got two main spring gross sales landed sq. in our laps. Steam’s large 2024 Spring Sale received underway right this moment, and so too did the Epic Games Store’s Spring Sale, which launches alongside an excellent weekly freebie.
Epic’s giveaway recreation this week is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the second and ultimate a part of the Adam Jensen trilogy. It’s a wonderful immersive sim that suffers from two basic flaws: As the bridge of a deliberate trilogy it would not actually lead right into a satisfying conclusion, and with that trilogy now formally useless (after which deader, after which actually useless), that satisfying conclusion won’t be forthcoming.
Even so, Mankind Divided is definitely price your time. We gave it an 88% in our 2016 overview, calling it “a ravishing, well designed recreation set in a stunning futuristic metropolis,” and hey, you by no means know: A concluding chapter may occur sometime, proper? (Yeah, I do not care what Elias Toufexis says, I’m not letting it go.)
Back to the offers: Epic’s Spring Sale is rather less of an in-your-face blowout than the Steam sale, however there are undoubtedly offers to be discovered. EA Sports FC 24 is 80% off, which is a biggie (and the identical because the Steam value), Hogwarts Legacy is half value, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Alan Wake Remastered are each 67% off, and—digging deep right here—Potato Sack Racing Simulator 2024 (no, I’m not kidding) is 70% off.
Note that the Epic Coupon just isn’t again for this sale, so the worth you see is what you are going to pay. Epic has, nevertheless, boosted its Epic Rewards program to 10%, that means that 10% of all recreation purchases you make through the sale (usually it is 5%) can be returned to you as a credit score you should utilize for future purchases. So if, as an example, you choose up Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (at present 40% off), you will earn sufficient in rewards to snag the sensible Chuchel (which I strongly advocate) free of charge.
I’ve by no means identified a extra relatable videogame character.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is free on the Epic Games Store till March 21. Epic’s 2024 Spring Sale will proceed rolling alongside till March 28.
