ENDED: Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number giveaway

18/2/2019

Congratulations to this week's winner, Corbin Winget (@WingetCorbin)!

Psychedelic massacre awaits this week’s giveaway winner, who’ll bag Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number on Steam.

The game is a beacon of slick and stylish ultra-violence, evoking classic cult cinema whilst playing like a modern take on gaming’s retro heyday. It probably isn’t for the faint of heart, but those brave enough to jump in will discover some uniquely absorbing audiovisuals that perfectly accompany the grisly, demanding gameplay.

As well as posing mechanical challenges, Hotline Miami 2 aims to provoke thoughts on morality in entertainment, doing a decent job of it without coming across as preachy. There’s more on that in my review.

If you think you’re ready, dial in your entries by 23:59 GMT on Friday, via the Gleam widget below. Anyone that can’t wait that long, or finds themselves on the losing end, can still check Wrong Number out on Steam and PS4.

Good luck!

ENDED: At Sundown: Shots in the Dark giveaway

4/2/2019

Matt Gilbert (@Matt_Gilbert93) is our winner this week!

An Xbox One copy of Mild Beast Games’ new “hide-and-seek shooter” is this week’s prize!

The game’s twin-stick, multiplayer-focused action takes place across nine modes and 18 maps, which make inventive use of light and darkness to conceal player movements. In our review, Staff Writer Chris Brand said that bringing this stealth element to the shoot-‘em-up successfully blends the “methodical strategy of Battleships” with the “twitchy thrill of a modern shooter” in a way that “invites comparison to Bomberman.” You can read his thoughts in full here.

If that unique blend sounds like something you’d like to try, be sure to enter via Gleam below to be in with a chance of winning. If you can’t wait until then, or aren’t drawn as the lucky winner come midnight GMT on Friday, you can grab At Sundown for £15.99 on Xbox One and PS4, £17.99 on Nintendo Switch, or just £11.24 on Steam.

Good luck!

ENDED: GNOG giveaway

28/1/2019

Hey, Mike K (@listen_to_me), you’re our giveaway winner this week!‬

@SlamShotSam

This deliciously eccentric puzzler, playable in virtual reality, is up for grabs on Steam.

GNOG is a uniquely tactile experience in which you interact with living dioramas in a variety of ways, learning through play as they respond to your touch and hint towards the solutions to their individualised puzzles. I won’t say much more, as just thinking about the psychedelic journey that is GNOG - a game I said “oozes style from every pore” in our review - is enough to lift my mood, and I wouldn’t want to deprive anyone else of that by giving too much away.

If it sounds to be of interest, you can enter via Gleam below to be in with a chance of winning a Steam key. While you can play in 2D on a monitor, we’d recommend dusting off your Oculus Rift or HTC Vive to get the most from it.

Too eager to wait the giveaway out? You can get to grabbing GNOG’s knobs by purchasing it for just £7.19 on Steam, or a heftier (but still worth it) £11.59 on PS4.

Good luck!

Congratulations to Riah Wemple (@Crenthasdemon) on winning our RiME giveaway!

by Sam Sant

@SlamShotSam

After taking a brief break for Christmas and New Year, our weekly giveaways are back in action!

2019's first prize is a Steam key for RiME, which I recently played and found to be a great way to unwind after spending a few months with the biggest blockbusters of 2018.

Playing a young boy accompanied by his fox companion, you'll spend the game exploring a mysterious island, solving puzzles and overcoming opposition to discover its central mystery. Channelling the likes of Journey and the works of Team ICO, it's a beautiful and melancholic trip.

As ever, simply enter via Gleam below to be in with a chance of winning. If you aren't drawn as our lucky winner, you can grab the game for £29.99 on Steam, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. It's just £23.99 on Xbox One, or also available at no extra cost to active Xbox Game Pass subscribers. You can pick up a Game Pass subscription from our partners at CD Keys.

Good luck!

ENDED: Mad Max giveaway

You will ride eternal, Anissa Eleuterio (@snugglekitty88) - you’re this week’s giveaway winner!

by Sam Sant

@SlamShotSam

This week's giveaway prize is a Steam key for Mad Max, the open-world adventure that mixes hand-to-hand and vehicular combat.

The licensed game came out of left field to surprise players with a massive sandbox structure in the vein of Assassin's Creed, only set in George Miller's timeless, post-apocalyptic setting. Avalanche, the game's developer, have taken ideas from Mad Max and implemented them into the recent Just Cause 4 and upcoming RAGE 2, such is its influence.

After entering via Gleam below, our winner will enjoy a lovely day, but any walking blood bags that otherwise want to play will need to pick a copy up for £15.99 on Steam, £29.99 on Xbox One, or a current sale price of just £8.99 on PS4.

Good luck!

ENDED: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden giveaway

Holy duck! Congrats to John Misty (@JetSetRadioXbox), who was drawn as our winner this week!

@SlamShotSam

An Xbox One code for The Bearded Ladies' excellent new strategy-adventure game, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, is up for grabs in the latest of our weekly game giveaways!

Seamlessly combining turn-based combat with real-time stealth and exploration, I reviewed Mutant Year Zero when it launched last week and concluded it was "a strange game, but in the best way - it’s a mechanics and lore-focused gamer’s game that doesn’t require the sort of crazy time and energy commitment many of its ilk do."

You can read the review in full here, or cut straight to the chase and register entry via the Gleam app below to be in with a chance of winning the Funcom-published gem. If you aren't randomly drawn as our lucky winner, but still feel the urge to sneak your way through a well-humoured take on the post-apocalypse, you can pick Road to Eden up for £28.99 on PS4, or £29.99 on Steam and Xbox One (where it's also freely available to active Xbox Game Pass subscribers).

Good luck!
