Current Offer Details
For those looking to expand their gaming library, Blood West, developed by Hyperstrange and New Blood Interactive, can be claimed without the standard price tag of .99.

With a commendable score of 80 on Metacritic and an impressive 88% approval rating from over 3,200 user reviews, it’s clear that this title has resonated well with players.
It’s worth noting that while the base game is free, any downloadable content (DLC) associated with it is not included in this offer.
About the Game + User Reviews
For those unfamiliar with Blood West, it presents a unique blend of first-person shooting and stealth mechanics. Players step into the shoes of the Undead Gunslinger, navigating a desolate wasteland in pursuit of liberation from a haunting curse.
The official synopsis describes the game as follows: “Blood West is a stealth FPS inspired by genre classics such as the Thief series and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, along with contemporary titles like Hunt: Showdown. The gameplay rewards a careful approach: scouting the area, stalking enemies, and striking from the shadows. Can you devise a strategy to clear a fort teeming with ghouls and monsters without raising an alarm?”
User reviews further emphasize the game’s quality. One player remarked, “It’s just a wonderful handcrafted RPG over a twisted, dark, and undead wild west. I’ve played it since the beginning of early access and came back for each major update, and I was never disappointed. Updates to the older locations are a great touch, all coming together really well in the end. The DLC is a bit weird and doesn’t stand on its own compared to the base game, but it’s sweet to play through as well.”
In addition to this enticing offer on the Epic Games Store, a new free game has also launched on Steam, although it caters to a more niche audience. As for what tomorrow’s free game will be, that remains a mystery until it goes live.
As always, gamers are encouraged to share their thoughts and join the conversation on various forums dedicated to gaming discussions.
