Total War: Warhammer 2’s next free Lord is Rakarth of Karond Kar
Another Legendary Lord is coming to Total War: Warhammer 2, a beastlord who can tame just about any monster. He’ll be available in just a few days, and free to all of the strategy game‘s players.
Developer Creative Assembly has confirmed that Rakarth of Karond Kar is the next free Lord. He’s heavily armoured with a penchant for taking down beasts that stand in his way, and buffing the ones on his side. Even though he’s got his fair share of personal fortification, he’s nimble, and capable of beating anyone – especially High Elves. The Whip of Agony gives him the power to stop enemy monsters from instilling fear and terror, making them ever more vulnerable to the ailments themselves.
Today’s Epic Store free game is Alien: Isolation
To mark the holiday season, the Epic Games Store has upped the pace of its usual weekly game giveaways to one a day. The 15 days of free PC games continues apace with today’s offering, which is Alien: Isolation. You’ve got 24 hours to grab your copy.
Let’s dispense with the usual throat clearing here: Alien: Isolation is far and away the best Alien experience you can find in games. Even with a few frustrating gameplay elements (hello, rubber-banding xenomorph) and a third act that overstays its welcome, the experience of being alone and hunted as Amanda Ripley in the Sevastopol space station is truly frightening. Developer Creative Assembly put a lot of thought and care into recreating the retro-future environments you’ll encounter on the Sevastopol, down to the padded bulkheads and light-diffusing steam.
