5 free games for you to redeem and play over the weekend! See list

It’s true that video games are an increasingly expensive hobby, with launch titles arriving with prices that can be equivalent to 1/4 of minimum wage. According to the IBGEat least 29.6% of the Brazilian population lived, by 2022, with an income of up to half a minimum wage per capita — that is, around 63.8 million people receiving up to R$606 per month.

It’s a pretty scary scenario and one that helps explain, in particular, the appeal of free games on digital platforms in Brazil and other initiatives focused on democratizing access to entertainment and culture.

With that in mind, the Voxel brings, in the following lines, a list of five free games to redeem and play over the weekend. Check it out:

TOEM

TOEM is a hand-drawn adventure game, with completely black and white visuals, in which players must use a camera to solve puzzles, interact with NPCs and uncover mysteries. The mechanics reward exploration and especially a keen eye for good photographs.

The Epic Games Store has already brought this game to its users on another occasion, but now it is once again offering it as part of its recurring list of weekly free games. So, even if you don’t have a gaming PC, it’s worth creating an account and redeeming it for when you can play and have fun.

The Last Stand: Aftermath

In a similar way, The Last Stand: Aftermath is available for free on the Epic Games Store for a limited time, until September 26th. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, The Last Stand: Aftermath is a sequence of The Last Stand: Union City and is described as a roguelite shooting and action.

Sonic Rumble

Its casual nature also allows you to participate in quick and uncompromising matches, so it’s worth at least trying it out if you’ve already had good experiences in games like Fall Guys or Stumble Guys.

Animal Shelter 2

eFootball
