Do you want to test an interesting project yourself, but the price is too high? Or it seems that the game does not justify the cost? December free games distribution will help your dream come true. You do not even need a Christmas miracle. Enough of a subscription to the service and the console. The network is gradually pouring future gifs. This article compiles noteworthy games with open access. You will be able to evaluate them for free from the middle of December.
Xbox
Xbox and Xbox Live Gold subscription holders will get access to four games. Microsoft has already confirmed the leak, so the list is official.
The Escapist 2
The pixel strategy game was released in 2017 and immediately pleased the audience. The game offers the user to create their prisoner. The hero will have to escape, trick, and fight as the name suggests. The gameplay combines elements of strategy and combat. But, freedom is not as close as it seems. Before escaping, it is necessary to disguise yourself as a reliable criminal. Preparing a plan, outwardly, the hero completely follows the prison code.
For fun, you can run a co-op mode. It fits up to three users. Escapes become even more fun with friends. In a competition mode, you can find out who the team is the fastest. Get out first, using cunning, logic and improvisation.
Eleven prisons and three hundred character traits are added to the game. This makes each connection special.
The game will be free for the whole month.
Tropico 5 Penultimate Edition
The dictatorship simulator Tropico will allow players to seize power over an entire island. But power does not have to be used for destructive purposes. The wealth of resources opens up research, development, and trade opportunities.
The game features a cooperative mode. The chronological framework covers the entire period from colonization to the present day. You can explore the amazing island of Tropico. He will need to master the land and sea. The game has more than a hundred building designs. The fleet design allows you to enter into a contract with overseas powers.
The game will be open for a month, starting from December 15.
Orcs Must Die!
There is only one task in OMD's fantasy action game: to kill as many orcs as possible. The options for destroying your opponents are amazingly brutal. In this game, orcs drown in lava, burn, and fall into traps. All of this is to protect the player's strongholds.
Several difficulty levels are included in the gameplay, including the unbearable "Nightmare". For self-defence, the user will have to learn spells and learn how to build obstacles. A variety of weapons, enemies and campaigns will not let you get bored. A huge amount of content makes Orcs Must Die! unequivocally replayable.
You can chop up evil creatures for free from the first to the fifteenth of December.
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Exploring the shadow planet will interest you first of all because of the memorable graphics. The game is made in the style of a two-dimensional cartoon. The gloomy color scheme exaggerates the already heavy atmosphere of a hostile world. But the game is not saturated with gloom. It is dynamic, exciting and not annoying.
A variety of enemies and locations will not let you get bored. The number of creatures in the way of the hero is incalculable. You must be creative to win. Also, in your spare time, take up the customization of your flying machine.
Journey through the world of shadows will open on December 16. Free access will remain available until 2022.
Playstation
A Playstation Plus subscription will also unlock some interesting games for users. There has been no official confirmation of the list yet. According to the rumors, the announcement will take place on December 1. Exactly one week after that, the distribution will begin.
Godfall: Challenger Edition
This game will appeal to fans of fantasy slashers. It was released in 2020 and received mixed reviews. But the strengths of the project are there. Open world and a wide arsenal of weapons are among them.
The game meets all the fantasy codes. There are kingdoms named after the elements, including the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Earth. Weapons are divided into classes, and distinctive lighting effects accompany battle scenes. Magical armor boosts the hero's strength and invulnerability.
If the rumors are to be believed, a new RPG add-on should be waiting for the PS Plus giveaway.
Mortal Shell
RPG-action film immerses users in the public favorite post-apocalyptic world. Possessed enemies storm destroyed cities. Surviving in the nightmare is only possible with the help of wit. It is quite predictable, but the hero is the chosen one. But to find out his real destiny is possible only in the final of the MS.
The game stylistically resembles Dark Souls. The latter earned the title of the best game of all time at the Golden Joystick Awards 2021. You may not agree with the award. But users should personally test the DS successor. The project promises to be interesting.
LEGO DC Super-Villains
LEGO stylistics has already established itself as an independent genre. DC Super Villains will help you spend a couple of evenings with non-invasive and enjoyable entertainment. There are no heroes in this game. It is dedicated to the main villains of the DC universe. The Injustice League seize control.
Wreak havoc with Harley Quinn, Joker and more. Destructive adventures in the constructor world become even more fun.
PC
The number of toys for PC, which will be open for free access, does not suffer from shortages. PC is recognized as the best gaming platform for a reason. An Amazon Prime Gaming subscription will give free access to nine projects. They're not equally interesting. But some of the games in the distribution are worth checking out.
Frostpunk
The requirements in survival games are always the same. The main task of the user is to save himself. But this can be achieved in different ways. In Frostpunk, you will have to fight against the omnipresent cold. To do this, humankind has invented special steam engines.
The player must save the life of the whole city. But to get what you want, you will have to sacrifice your morals and ethics. Frostpunk is a game about choices. How to deal with the elderly and weak is the easiest of plot dilemmas.
Since its release, the game has received three expansions. They are provided to Frostpunk owners for free. We should expect the distribution version to include this content as well.
Journey to the Savage Planet
A fun and colorful adventure will allow you to feel like a pioneer. But it's not just unseen lands that will have to be explored. The hero goes into outer space. He needs to find out if the planet ARY-26 is suitable for colonization.
The developers describe the game as an eccentric battle with black humor. The journey has a huge number of jokes. The creators are not ashamed of vulgarity. As a result, the advertising banners of the ARY planet will not once surprise you with their explicitness.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered
Need for Speed needs no introduction. The remaster of 2010 has not lost its relevance until now. This time the feeling of nostalgia is completely for free. Chases, competitions and car upgrades are all elements of the classic race. The remaster includes all additions and fixes for old bugs.
Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse
While Xbox owners will have to slice orcs, PC users will encounter zombies. This is a game in which horror is blended into comedy. The old project of 2005 delights with the freedom of humor, audacity and absurdity.
It is worth specifying that the acquaintance with zombies will be unexpectedly close. So close that the player will become one of the dead. Eating brains, creating your squads of the dead and more are the user's tasks.
Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack
Another old comedy game will amuse users in December. Ridiculous three-dimensional graphics only adds charm to the project. The plot resembles a mix of everything. There are pirates, voodoo, and healing sea sponges. The project is good in an unexpected scenario. It is much harder to predict the ending of the pirate adventure than it seems. That's what makes it so appealing to audiences..
Football Manager 2021
There aren't enough football simulators in the video game world. But it's not just the athletes who make the team. The developers have shed some light on the life of a football club manager. He knows the ins and outs of the Big Cup world. And the well-coordinated work of the entire squad depends on him.
The abundance of content deserves respect. The game recreates more than two thousand organizations. You will have to supervise both backyard teams and elite squads. FM2021 is a game about strategy, planning and hustle.
Morkredd
The blinking orb demands protection. In return, it promises answers to life's most important questions. The sphere symbolizes destiny. To prove loyalty to it, you will have to pass a series of tests.
The project stands out for realistic physics and stylish graphics—contrasting lighting balances on edge between light and darkness. The main feature of the gameplay is the mechanics of balance. Only holding the balance, you can take the sphere unharmed. That's why it's recommended to play the game in pairs on the same screen. Parallel control of characters develops synchronicity and team spirit.
Spellcaster University
The headmaster of a magical university has a challenging job to do. Building his school is only the first step. In addition to magic, you will have to deal with bureaucracy too. Who to hire and how to distribute the budget? Who is the best suited for the title of the professor: druid or shaman? How to organize the learning process? All these questions require immediate study.
The mechanism of magic cards helps in making decisions. Special decks can be used to accumulate mana and domesticate magical beasts. The deck of Light helps to arrange the comfort of students. The Char deck opens the door to absurd, magical spaces.
The game is casual but cozy. Pleasant minimalistic graphics are worth mentioning.
Youtubers Life
Simulators are the most diverse genre of the game industry. The user can become an astronaut and a scuba diver thanks to the games. This game introduces the audience to another profession — YouTuber. The player goes through all stages of self-promotion to gain popularity. Editing lessons, daily challenges, and time management are all part of a blogger's life. And you can feel yourself in the shoes of a popular content maker for free.
Users often complain that not the best projects appear on the free distribution. There is some truth in it. But in this top list, you can find a game according to your taste. The main thing is to search well.
For fans of quality content, there is a game sale. You can grab a hit at a low price. Cyberpunk broke sales records as soon as the promotion started. (Users joke that the game is finally selling at its own cost.)
There are some great free projects out there for those who still don't want to spend a dime. They don't need an introduction. These are Fortnite, Dota, LoL, Warframe and many others.
So there is no problem with the range. You can have fun in the game without spending too much.
