Very good news: Currently, Microsoft offers free Xbox game, but you have to do very quickly to take advantage of it. There is not much time left.
Right now, it’s a very good period for players. In addition to Summer Game Fest Who is approaching, the platforms take advantage of the period to offer games. This is particularly the case with the Xbox blind, which allows you to discover a small narrative nugget, without even needing a subscription Xbox Game Pass. It would be a shame to miss it.
Microsoft offers a free Xbox game to keep for life, but you have to do quickly
Good news for lovers of strong narrative stories and multiple choice games: Tell Me Why is currently offered free of charge by Xbox. The three chapters of this adventure developed by whose Nod Entertainment (known for Life is Strange) are available. This is not the first time that Tell Me Why has been offered. In reality, this initiative now seems annual, especially around the month of pride.
Tell Me Why which is offered on Xbox, tells the story of Tyler and Alyson, two twins who find themselves in their native village of Alaska after several years of separation. Together, they will seek to unravel the mysteries of their family past, by reconstructing their memories, sometimes divergent, through their supernatural ties. At the crossroads of the interactive novel and the psychological thriller, the game seduced by its intimate atmosphere, its contemplative rhythm, and its nuanced narration. If the first episode is often greeted for its emotional strength, some players consider the following a little less impactful. The fact remains that the whole offers a solid experience, in the vein of previous productions by Dontnod. A nice add Xbox therefore.
A beautiful message
On the different platforms, Tell Me Why has sometimes received mixed criticism. Some criticize a too slow rhythm or limited gameplay mechanics. Others denounce attacks motivated by biases, in particular around the LGBT+representation. Despite this, the majority of players salute the quality of writing, the authenticity of the dialogues and the ambition of the French studio. And above all, the very positive message of the game. By offering the game for free on Xbox each year, Microsoft seems to want to reaffirm a commitment to the diversity and accessibility of the video game to all audiences.
If you’ve never tried it, it’s probably the right time. The Xbox offer remains available until June 10 at 1:59 am (Paris time)
