As every week, you can pick up a free game from the Epic Games Store and keep it forever. We briefly introduce you to the title
Every week, Epic Games gives away one or two games in its own story. Anyone who picks up the titles can play and keep them forever, the only requirement is an Epic account. This time you can get the racing game Dakar Desert Rally, which lets you drive big races off-road. Here’s a brief introduction to the title
What is Dakar Desert Rally?
Genre:Racing game – Developer:Saber – Release:October 2022
In Dakar Desert Rally you drive off-road races alone or in multiplayer not only in the Sahara, but also in other remote areas. You can choose from a large fleet of motorcycles, cars, trucks and quads, which you can steer through deep desert sand, mud, snow or other difficult terrain
The races take place on open maps where you choose your own route and experience a day-night cycle and dynamic weather changes. So you can expect not only sunshine, but also rain, snowfall or sandstorms
Suitable for whom? Dakar Desert Rally does not appeal to all fans. On Steam, the racing game only has a 59 percent positive rating (ratings) and is therefore quite controversial. This is partly due to technical problems such as crashes. In addition, some players liked the predecessor Dakar 18 much better
If you would like to try out the multiplayer, you should also know that the (player numbers on) (Steam) have been in the double-digit range for some time. So it’s possible that you won’t find many other players. However, amateur racers who enjoy playing single-player games can still take a look – it’s free after all.
Dakar Desert Rally not quite to your taste? Don’t worry, there are plenty of other exciting titles. Banishers 2024, for example, has just received its first story highlight, as you can read in the test. And at the Steam Next Fest, numerous upcoming games showed what they can do with demos.
