It has over 5,200 “Very Positive” user reviews on Steam as of this writing.

As per usual, the upcoming August 7 promo is planned to kick off at 8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET and will run for exactly one week. While waiting for112 OperatorandRoad Redemptionto become available to claim, Epic Games Store users can pick upPilgrimsandKeylocker. The former offers anon-linear narrative experiencethat has received widespread praise for its memorable characters, hand-drawn art, and substantial replay value.Pilgrimsis also an atypical EGS freebie because Epic is simultaneously giving it away on both PC and mobile. Even when it comes to titles that are available on both platforms, the company usually opts for one or the other.
The other currently available freebie,Keylocker, is a JRPG-like game with turn-based combat and a rhythm-based twist, allowing players to increase the success chances of their attempts at aiming, attacking, blocking, and parrying with well-timed reactions. Anyone who enjoys titles likeSuper Mario RPGor the more recently released andcritically acclaimedClair Obscur: Expedition 33might thus findKeylockerto be worth their time, especially if they’re also a fan of cyberpunk.
