With people stuck inside, several companies and individuals are stepping up to help them cope with their isolation in various ways. Last week it was announced that Steam would be offering a major title for free in the near future, and that future is now the present. And what a present it is.
The game in question is of the Total War franchise, and most of the other games in the series are on sale at the same time this one is offered for free. The free game is Total War: Shogun 2, and this is not just a free week or weekend: any player who buys and downloads the game right now for $0 can keep it forever.
Total War has always been a series with a lot of fans through good times and bad, and Shogun 2 is no exception. With exceptional combat graphics, deep time period immersion worked into the gameplay, and a great campaign, Shogun 2 is considered one of the best historical Total War titles to this day.
Anyone who has played a Total War game can attest that even one game can keep a single player or a party of players occupied for a long time, so this is a welcome gift. It may even have players picking up the new Total War: Three Kingdoms and its Mandate of Heaven DLC if enough people like Shogun 2. Players can pick up a copy of Shogun 2 from Steam for free right now, until May 1st.
Total War: Shogun 2 is available on PC.
