PSGamer: The Fall is a *large intake of breath* sci-fi side-scrolling action/adventure puzzle platformer with a strong and unique plot *Phew*. So, basically, my kind of game. You play as A.R.I.D. (short for Autonomous Robotic Interface Device), an Artificial Intelligence on-board a Mark-7 Combat Suit. When the suit and its human passenger – Col. Josephs – fall from space and crash-land on an unknown planet, ARID is activated to assess the damage. With no response from Col. Josephs, no information on her location and the suit’s health monitoring system malfunctioning, ARID is afforded control of the suits motor functions and given the prime directive to seek medical attention for her incapacitated pilot.

Starting today, The Fall is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until March 25 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.

The Fall is a mysterious journey that will leave you wanting more- even if its main strenght is narrative, not gameplay.

Joseph at Skewed and Reviewed has posted a mixed review for The Fall on the Nintendo Switch. He liked some aspects but said it just did not do enough to stand out.
