7 free games for you to redeem and play this 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 seven free games to redeem and play over the weekend. Check it out:

Beholder

Beholder is the free game of the week on the Epic Games Store, the store owned by Fortnite and which is a rival to Steam. In the game, the user takes control of a janitor who secretly serves a totalitarian state in a dystopian future. Therefore, it is necessary to spy on the tenants and provide information on anyone who is involved in a conspiracy.

However, it is up to the player to keep the gears of this machine moving. The game features several choices with consequences for the course of the plot and also for its various endings. If you like investigation games with several possible paths, it’s worth giving it a try.

Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop

Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop It’s free for a limited time on Steam. Over the next four days, StillAlive Studios’ bus simulator will be playable on the strip, but it’s worth noting that it won’t be added to your library.

Destiny 2

Bungie’s success, Destiny 2 It was also nominated for the Best Continuous Game and Best Community Support categories at The Game Awards and is worth recommending for fans of first-person shooter games, with loot mechanics, which can be enjoyed with a group of friends.

Gold and Glory

Gold and Glory is a dungeon crawler-style RPG that features PvP and PvE mechanics, in which both other players and enemies controlled by artificial intelligence are a threat.
