Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is the first game developed by Josef Fares, who recently won the Game Award for Game of the Year for his latest game, It Takes Two. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons differs from Fares’ other games in that it doesn’t have co-op. However, it still is clearly a game made with cooperation in mind, with one player controlling two characters to complete objectives and advance the story.
Epic Games Store Free Games This Week
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (February 17 - February 24) Cris Tales (February 24 - March 3)
Fans of Fares’ work on A Way Out and It Takes Two should enjoy Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, so they should be sure to claim it while it’s free. In the meantime, next week’s free game is an indie RPG called Cris Tales that originally released in July 2021, making it not even a year old yet. The Epic Games Store free games tend to be older titles, so it’s nice to see a relatively newer game added to the free games lineup.
Cris Tales is a traditional turn-based RPG, but with a time travel gimmick that helps set it apart from its contemporaries. Cris Tales earned somewhat mixed reviews at the time of its release, but it’s still something that fans of the genre should consider checking out, especially since it’s going to be completely free to play and keep on the Epic Games Store.
Cris Tales will be the Epic Games Store free game from February 24 until March 3, at which point it will be replaced by the first new free game for March 2022. What that will be is anyone’s guess, but Epic Games Store users can check out Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons in the meantime.
