This week’s free game on the Epic Games Store is Nightingale, developed and published by Infelxion Games. The game has proven quite popular since launch, as shown by its user review count, although opinions are definitely mixed. On Steam, where it normally costs $29.99, the open-world survival game has nearly 10,000 user reviews, with a 71% positive rating, earning it a “Mostly Positive” designation. However, looking at only recent reviews, the approval rate drops to 64% and is considered “Mixed.” This is largely due to some recent updates to the early access game not being well-received by players. Other reviewers have also noted performance issues – a common problem for games built on Unreal Engine 5 – and the slow pace of updates.
