Summer is over! Celebrate (or mourn, I don’t know your life) the passage of time with these free games for PS Plus, Xbox Live, Humble, Epic and Twitch subscribers for March.
PlayStation Plus
- Shadow of the Colossus
The 2018 remake of the much beloved PS2 title. According to our review: “A game that once had ambition beyond the capabilities of the hardware it ran on can now finally spread its wings with graphical advancements”. - Sonic Forces
When we reviewed Sonic Forces, we said the game has thrilling boss fights and visuals, but may not be what fans of classic Sonic were expecting. Find out for yourself, it’s free!
Xbox Games with Gold
Xbox One
- Call of Cthulhu (available 16 Feb – 15 Mar)
This atmospheric horror RPG has you exploring eerie locales and investigating mysteries. We reviewed this when it came out in 2018, and we liked it! - Batman: The Enemy Within – The Telltale Series (available 1 Mar – 31 Mar)
The second season of Telltale’s take on the Dark Knight. Let’s see how he struggles with the deaths of his parents this time.
Xbox 360
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (available 1 Mar – 15 Mar)
The final game in the experimental Lords of Shadow trilogy. Konami recently released a more classic Castlevania title for mobile, so there’s a few different way this vampire series could take your fancy.
Humble Choice
The Humble Choice games for March are yet to be announced.
Epic Games
- GoNNER (available 6 Mar – 13 Mar)
Roguelike 2D platformer wherein you embark on a journey to cheer up a sad whale. There needs to be more free games about the power of friendship. - Offworld Trading Company (available 6 Mar – 13 Mar)
Exactly what it says on the tin! Establish a trading company on Mars, and compete against other companies, run by both AI and other players.
Twitch Games with Prime
(all available until April 2)
- Bomber Crew
Have you ever wanted to manage both the internal and external goings-on of a World War II fighter plane? Well, here’s the game for you, complete with a cheerful chibi art style. - Whispers of a Machine
A point-and-click detective game where you need to solve murders in a world of AIs and cybernetics. Published by Raw Fury, who also brought you GoNNER. - Mugsters
A fast-paced action puzzle game about saving the world from aliens. The physics system looks chaotic AF. - Furi
Vibrant hack and slash action game with bullet hell elements. Notably, the entire game is a series of boss fights. The game cuts right to the chase, so you can do some cutting of your own. - Epistory – Typing Chronicles
A delightful game played by typing various words that appear on screen. A good way to get your touch typing reps in, and explore a beautiful world in the process.
And those are your free games for March! Let us know which ones you’re looking forward to getting your hands on! If it’s Sonic Forces, let us know why! Because we don’t get it.
