In , critic Kevin VanOrd awarded the game a 7.5/10 and wrote: “Its barrage of online and offline skirmishes doesn’t always hit its mark. But when it finds its target, Company of Heroes 2 delivers a loud and mighty payload.”
Little Nightmares is also free to own on Steam right now, as part of a Limited Free Promotional Package. The game is a horror puzzle-platformer about a little girl named Six, who is trapped in an underwater vessel. Instead of having dialogue, Little Nightmares tells its story through its haunting atmosphere and environments.
Little Nightmares was awarded an 8/10 in , with critic Matt Espineli praising the game’s cat-and-mouse style chases and introspective narrative:
“The journey to reach its provocative conclusion is filled with unnerving questions and imagery that take hold of your morbid curiosities and pull you deep into introspection. While its puzzles are at times too straightforward, Little Nightmares is a chilling odyssey well worth taking.”
While it doesn’t say exactly when the promotion ends, the free version of Little Nightmares is labeled as a “May 2021” promotion, so the deal may expire at the end of the month.
