Sludge Lifeis free on Steamfrom now until March 30 at 12:00pm CT. The game usually costs $14.99, so anyone interested should be sure to claim it while Steam is still giving it away for free. For those unfamiliar with the game,Sludge Lifeis described as an open world vandalism game where players explore a “polluted island” in first-person. It has “Very Positive” reviews from Steam users and a 75 overall rating from critics.
Something to note aboutSludge Lifeis the game is extremely short. In fact, most people can get throughSludge Lifein just a couple of hours, so PC gamers should keep that in mind. However, it’s difficult to knock a game for its short playtime when it’s being given away for free. Someone who paid full price forSludge Lifemay come away from it disappointed when they realize how short it is, so getting it as a free game through Steam may really be the best way to experience it.
PC gamers have free games to claim all the time, even if it’s not always through Steam. Steam competitor Epic Games Store gives away free games every week, with the current free game offering being the well-reviewedChess Ultra. Other digital storefronts offer free games sometimes as well, with one notable example being GOG, which recently gave away a horror game for free. Just as Steam was previously giving awayTiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventureto help promote the Steam Spring Sale, thefree horror game on GOGwas meant to promote its equivalent sale. It’s likely future free PC games will be given away as part of these promotions to generate interest in the sales and hopefully sell some games to the people checking out the storefronts to claim their freebies.
