![]() ![]() Epic has said that it plans to give customers a new free game every two weeks. Subnautica is out December 14 and will be free for two weeks after launch, while Super Meat Boy is dropping on December 28 and will also be free for a fortnight. Darksiders 3, Subnautica and Super Meat Boy are all scheduled to launch on the service later this month, too, which brings us nicely onto the Free Game Initiative. Right now you can pick up new releases Ashen, Hello Neighbour: Hide and Seek, and Supergiant's new game, which was spotlighted at The Game Awards, Hades. Hour eight, nine, and ten were spent getting more comfortable with enemies and finding rare items to finally get my base to feel like a safe haven, well, as safe as it could be.After being announced a few days ago, the Epic Games Store is now live! Positioned as a competitor to Steam in the PC marketplace, Epic's store is pretty barebones at the minute, but it is just the beginning. Hour eight I spent building up my base and making it bigger. Hour seven I spent exploring an underground ruin close to the crashed ship and building my first vehicle. I won’t go into more as it is a pretty major spoiler, but when a timed event pops up make sure you get there before the time runs out. That’s when it dawned on me what the story was and gave me a goal and objective for myself. Hour six was crazy as the story took me way out to a plot twist I wasn’t expecting. Hour five was spent crafting my first building and gathering materials from a new biome. At hour four I explored a large wreck and focused less on surviving on one life and more on exploring everything I could. Around hour three, I had completed two radio quests and explored two more biomes. I repaired it, and worked towards scanning the creatures in the area and gathering resources. So the first hour I spent close to my lifepod. Also, when you procure a scanner, scan everything that looks like a ship piece. I was smart and starting investing in material collection early on. The ocean is very disorienting, so if you don’t get a feel for a map of the land early on, you could get very, very lost. If you spend your entire time sitting in your lifepod and avoiding nights, odds are you won’t progress quickly enough. I am worried about how fast the story is progressing and passage of time events that are miss-able, but this game is about discovery. That being said, I thoroughly am enjoying the game so far. ![]() Add dangerous creatures to the mix and I’ll be on land faster than you can blink. I’m a strong swimmer, but for some reason the surrounding ocean terrifies me. That being said, I have a fear of the dark and of drowning. The creatures and environment are stunning. Usually everything can be found by going out and exploring, and when in doubt, run around slicing things protruding from the ocean floor. It does take awhile to discover where to get certain materials or how to get them, but the frustration is worth it most times. You have an oxygen, thirst, hunger, and health meter that decrease at a normal rate for early on in a game. I missed a main event that happens solely because I was terrified of dying. My first hour was spent getting a feel for the environment in the starting area. You start off in a shallow area, working to repair your little lifeboat pod, but as the story progresses, you are pulled out further and further and have to craft supplies and means of survival. You begin to explore the land, which is filled with hundreds of creatures and wildlife just below the surface. You are stranded on an alien planet that seems to consist entirely of ocean after your spaceship, the Andromeda, crash lands. So is Subnautica worth downloading and is it worth playing? I streamed ten hours of the game to see how it stacked up. The download was quick, and it was the full game. I have had my eye on this game ever since some of my favorite Youtubers played it, but went in pretty much blind. With the launch of the new Epic Games Store, Epic Games has made a major announcement! Indie game Subnautica is going to be the first of many games you can download for free every two weeks up until 2019. Subnautica is free for the next week from the Epic Games Store via the Epic Games Launcher ![]()
