Amnesia: The Dark Descent free

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is being given away for free on Steam in a 24-hour special. The special comes to an end at 10 am Pacific time (that’s 5pm GMT, 1pm ET, and 3 am AEST). To get your hands on Amnesia: The Dark Descent for free, just log into the Steam client, find the game in the store, and click install.

The Amnesia: The Dark Descent free special is in honour of developer Frictional Games releasing their next game, Soma, next week on September 22. Soma is going to be an underwater exploration game with all the trademark creepiness the studio brought to Amnesia: The Dark Descent. While it’s not clear if Soma will induce the same level of outright terror that Amnesia did, it certainly looks like a game that will be able to chill most players to their bones. The Swedish indie studio sure has a knack for scary games.

The rest of Frictional Games’ titles are getting a substantial price cut as well. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs has been reduced to $3.99 USD. The Penumbra series, one of Frictional Games’ earlier works which sees players navigate a surreal arctic landscape, is now $1.99.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent cemented Frictional Games’ reputation as a horror developer. The game’s protagonist, Daniel, has erased part of his memory in order to forget about some part of his past. The game tasks the players with exploring dark, old castle hallways as the 19th-century archaeologist. There are enemies out there, and you know they’re there, but they always stay out of sight. It’s all about not looking – if you stare at them for too long they’ll notice you, and you have no way to defend yourself against their attacks. The game has a healthy mix of jump scares and creeping horror, but the main challenge is navigating the game despite the protagonist’s deteriorating mental state.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
