Fez - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!

Fez is a 2D puzzle platformer with an almost literal 3D twist (it's more of a turn than a twist, but close enough). You play as Gomez, who early on gains the ability to rotate his two-dimensional world and see things from different perspectives. Like any great power, it also comes with great responsibility - Gomez learns that his world is in danger and only he can protect it!

Hyper Light Drifter - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!

Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure title influenced by classics like Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, only cranked to eleven in terms of scale. A number of large zones are immediately open to explore, but dozens of areas are either cleverly hidden or locked away. This game doesn't just reward you for exploration - it kind of requires it. Earning upgrades and finding some of the keys (or other unlock mechanisms) means scouring every inch of the map looking for hidden paths.

GNOG - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!

GNOG is a casual puzzle game full of fanciful and colorful art. Each level is presented as a box, house, spaceship or other object that somewhat represents a monstrous head.

Alan Wake - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!

Alan Wake is an action adventure thriller with elements of supernatural horror. What begins as a relaxing vacation turns into a frantic nightmare as you (playing as the titular Mr. Wake) are attacked by shadows and your wife goes missing. Things get even weirder when your search for her yields pages to a horror story that's unfolding right before your eyes.

Some have called this game a masterpiece, and by what I've played of it, I can see why. It has an excellent atmosphere that is great at building tension and dread when combined with its encounters and mechanics. The forest is appropriately dark and foreboding at night, with just enough ambient rustling to keep your guard up. Discovering pages to the mysterious novel often provide additional (and unsettling) context or eerie foreshadowing of terrors lying just ahead. Supplies can be scarce in some locations, meaning you'll have to consider when to fight and when to flee (if you can flee).

Alan Wake is worth picking up at its current price, so obtaining it free is quite the deal!

August '19 Mighty Minis - Dragon Warrior Slime Coaster!

This month's Mighty Mini celebrates the 30th anniversary of the US release of Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) for the NES. Made from Perler beads, this coaster kicks off the adventure with everyone's first encounter - the iconic slime!

On a personal note, Dragon Warrior was undoubtedly one of my favorite RPGs for the system. I've never compiled a personal list of best NES games, but Dragon Warrior would easily make the top 25.

Moonlighter - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!

Moonlighter is a combination of roguelike action-adventure game and business simulator. You brave the mysterious dungeons for loot, then use that loot to craft or upgrade gear... or sell it to customers in your shop!
