The lineup in total features 16 free games, with various different drop days throughout the month. Today, January 23, adds 5 of the 16 games. Three of the games are Epic Games Store codes for Zombie Army 4: Dead War, Star Stuff, and To The Rescue. One of five the games meanwhile, is Spitlings, which is via the Amazon Games App. And then the fifth and final game — the aforementioned 2000 release — is the Game of the Year edition of Deus Ex. This code has been give via GOG.
Developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive, Deus Ex is widely considered one of the great RPGs of all time, and kickstarted a five-game series that lingers to this day. The follow-ups include 2003’s Deus Ex: Invisible War (2003), 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution, 2013’s Deus Ex: The Fall, and 2016’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The later three of these four games are notably prequels, while Invisible War is the lone sequel.
