Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the free game from Ubisoft this month

by

The standalone expansion to Far Cry 3 is the current free offering from Ubisoft to celebrate the penultimate month of the Ubi30 celebrations.

Blood Dragon is set in the year 2007 where the world is suffering the aftermath of a nuclear war. The premise of the game is a homage to the ’80s VHS Sci-Fi films with its neon visuals and synthwave soundtrack. It is intentionally riddled with tropes associated with the era to make it feel like a product of the time.

The game uses the same engine and gameplay mechanics as Far Cry 3 but is a more focused and linear experience. The skill tree is replaced with a leveling system automatically unlocking benefits while crafting has been removed entirely.

As part of Ubisoft’s Anniversary celebration, Rayman: Origins is the free game for the month of August. It is a 2D sidescrolling platformer released in November 2011 as a sequel to Michael Ancel’s Rayman trilogy. The game supports multiplayer co-op allowing for upto 4 different players who can drop in and drop out at any time.

Origins was critically a hit but commercially it did not sell as well as Ubisoft had hoped but sales were enough to garner a sequel, Rayman Legends, released in 2014. The objective of the game is to complete the levels while freeing the Electoons and collecting Lums in order to save the Glade of Dreams. There are over 60 levels in the game taking place in 12 different environments.
