Spec Ops: The Line Is Another Game That Just Went Free On Humble
/
Spec Ops: The Line is probably one of the more memorable shooters out there. At first glance it's a conventional third-person military shooter, the kind of bro-fisty Ooh-Rah stuff that does little to distinguish itself from the Call of Dutys and Battlefields of this world. But it actually goes somewhere with a compelling story that stares unflinchingly into the heart of darkness.
Unfortunately, because it looked so self-serious and unironic, it kind of got passed over when it was released in 2012. If you haven't played it yet, then add it to your checkout at the Humble Store right now where it is absolutely free. Now in the year of our lord 2018 -- in a post-Bioshock Infinite and post-Wolfenstein world -- some of the narrative puppet strings feel a little obvious, but it remains quite a ride.
However that works out for you, you've got about 30 hours left to grab it. There's also an Indie Mega Week Sale going on there right now, with up to 75 percent off on all sorts of indie games. Don't say we never did nothing for you.
Each episode of Spacelords is an intense adventure of four challenging missions that can be played cooperatively or as an Antagonist attempting to thwart the Raiders. It's a bit like the ill-fated but excellent Evolve, but with more story and cutscenes directly woven between each match.
