Anime fans can grab two games completely for free – and one has an 81 rating
OUR lives are full of subscriptions these days, but you don't have to have Xbox Game Pass, Nintendo Switch Online or PS Plus to get free games.
A number of other subscription services now come with free games that you can enjoy alongside other services.
The classic example of this is Netflix, which has a library of almost 100 games that subscribers can play for free.
However, more and more streaming services are adding gaming to the mix, which is a huge win for fans.
One of these subscriptions is Crunchyroll, the most popular streaming service for anime fans.
The Crunchyroll Game Vault offers subscribers a number of games they can play at no additional cost.
Two new exclusive games are added to the Game Vault January 31, 2024, for fans to enjoy.
The first free game is Ponpu, a cute 2D game based on the classic Bomberman series.
The blurb reads: “Inspired by the classic gameplay of Bomberman, Ponpu takes the concept in a new direction, adding new mechanics and features and wrapping it in super-smooth, hand-drawn graphics.
“Play the epic single-player campaign that pits you against some of the coolest boss battles you've ever seen, as you race to defeat the all-powerful Duck-God and stop him from resetting the universe.”
The next game is Yuppie Psycho, which has a huge rating of 81 on the aggregation site Metacritic.
This is a pixel art, indie, survival horror game that is receiving positive reviews from both players and critics.
The blurb reads: “Join Brian Pasternack, a young man with no future in a dystopian 1990s society, on his first day at one of the largest companies in the world, Sintracorp.
“Insecure, unprepared and wildly unqualified: will Pasternack have what it takes to shine in Sintracorp's hierarchy?
“It all depends on how he performs on his first assignment… and whether he survives.”
Both games will be released next week in Crunchyroll Game Vault and will be free to play for subscribers.
