Once again, the Steam platform offers a golden opportunity to collect and store games for free. It's all the more interesting as with the end of the weekend, it's always good to treat yourself a little!
Like the Epic Games Store or GOG, Steam is also an excellent way to expand your game library without spending a single cent. So even if you're not interested in gaming, you really have nothing to lose. This time it's a completely free title, as well as some content to keep for a much-loved game. This is what we know.

A free game on Steam 100% Sci-Fi
Steam's first free game is Classic Marathon. Classic Marathon is a dynamic shoot 'em up video game that immerses players in a series of levels where they must face continuous waves of enemies. The game is characterized by its retro aesthetic, reminiscent of classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s, with pixelated graphics and a very cool electronic soundtrack. We find a bit of an Alien side to the artistic direction. Gameplay requires quick reflexes and an ability to make strategic decisions under pressure, as players must not only shoot enemies but also dodge attacks and manage power-ups that appear randomly. The levels are diverse, offering different environments and challenges, and each game session ends with a clash against a powerful boss, requiring a specific tactical approach to defeat.
Zombie Alerts
On Steam, we also have the right to the DLC Police Stories: Zombie Case for Police Stories introduces a new scenario which revolves around a zombie epidemic. This downloadable content expands on the original game's universe by incorporating elements of survival and horror. Players take on the role of members of a special police unit sent to investigate bizarre incidents in a city suddenly overrun by zombies. In addition to typical shooting, this mode adds aspects of resource management, such as conserving ammo and using health kits wisely to keep up with hordes of zombies.
The DLC also adds new missions that include infiltration elements to rescue survivors and collect crucial information about the origin of the outbreak. Game environments are redesigned to reflect a darker, more distressing atmosphere, with levels set in abandoned urban locations, deserted subway stations, and secret scientific complexes. The narrative is reinforced by interactions with other characters and discoveries that gradually reveal the mysteries behind the zombie disaster. In short, only good if you like zombie films.
