As we all know, Halloween is the day when you want to be spooked. Many people turn to classic horror films, but game worlds can also take us to scary places.
In keeping with today’s occasion, the Epic Games Store once again offers free games that fit the spookiest time of the year. One of these will save you a lot of money.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
The first free title is the game Ghostwire: Tokyowhich was only released by Bethesda Softworks in 2022. Despite a well-known publisher, the game was somewhat lost at the time, which may have been due to the marketing or the release period. Because the setting is quite exciting.
In this mix of action-adventure and mystery game, we end up in the Japanese capital Tokyo, which suddenly becomes deserted. Instead, the city is haunted by ghosts called Yokai, who we have to fight and drive away.
Our main character uses supernatural powers himself to fight the masked leader who seems to be behind the secret and save his little sister.
Even if Ghostwire: Tokyo Even though it was far from a masterpiece when it was released, it can still convince in a few points. On the one hand, the game world is quite unique and, thanks to Unreal Engine 5, incredibly beautiful to look at. On the other hand, there are numerous references to Japanese folklore and myths, which make the whole thing particularly exciting for Japan fans.
For many people, the gameplay just wasn’t enough to keep them engaged throughout the entire game. And the open world doesn’t always offer much that’s new either. But to this day the game stands up with its ratings Metacritic with a good 77 out of 100 points and is recommended by many despite its weaknesses.
