[Chimpzy]

Yeah, guessed right, it's Fallout. A fair bit of Fallout Today, for you:

Fallout 1, Fallout 2 & Fallout Tactics

Fallout 1, 2 & Tactics will be free at Epic Games Store until December 23rd at 5PM (your local time). As always, you can get the game through the link above, or straight from the Epic Games launcher. Either way, the game will be added directly to your Epic Games library.

Spoiler: Fallout 1 description

You've just unearthed the classic post-apocalyptic role-playing game that revitalized the entire CRPG genre. Make the right decisions or you could end up as another fallen hero in the wastelands…

Spoiler: Fallout 2 description

Fallout® 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed game that took RPG'ing out of the dungeons and into a dynamic, apocalyptic retro-future. Mastering your character's skills and traits for survival, Fallout® 2 challenges you to endure in a post-nuclear worl.

Spoiler: Fallout Tactics description

Tactical Squad-Based Combat comes to the Fallout® Universe! In these dark times, the Brotherhood - your Brotherhood - is all that stands between the rekindled flame of civilization and the howling, radiated wasteland.

Have a look if interested, and enjoy.

Tomorrow's freebie(s) will be a mystery game. No clue what the hint means.

First two are WRPG classics and worth a look, even though they're a bit dated by today's standards(No Autosave, Permadeath is the norm, etc). Fallout 2 has patches and a mod to help bring back some of the content that never got implemented correctly(the game was rushed and it shows in places, but it mostly re-used assets from FO1 so it's not horrible). FO2 has a couple cool ideas that didn't really carry forward into the Bethesda games, like having the towns have their own politics towards each other and reputation is area dependent instead of universal(you could be loved in one town and loathed in another simulatiously). I also kind of liked the "Western" feel of the game where it felt like a lot of the towns were new and springing up out of the wilderness to rebuild civilization, not just living in the ruins of the old world.

Tactics is very meh. I played it back when it came out. You really aren't missing much if you skip it. There are far better tactics games out there, like XCOM. Honestly, there are so many Tactics games out there now that the only reason to play FO:T is because you want to play a mediocre Fallout Themed Tactics game.

At least it succeeds in one thing over others.

Your character has decent movement speed.

If you played Baldur's Gate 1 (Original version)....the characters move so slow.

There's nothing wrong with permadeath, especially in an RPG where choice and consequence are an important factor.
