Epic Games Store offers a free game every week, and this week, you can pick up a highly-rated title.

Islets is an indie metroidvania with a cute art style that has an 81 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic.

The blurb reads: “Iko is an aspiring yet hopeful warrior exploring the land and sky to reunite a series of floating islands. 

“With his rickety airship, he must travel from island to island in order to reignite each one’s magnetic core while fighting off the many adversaries standing in his way.

“Islets is a surprisingly wholesome metroidvania about making connections with the people around you. 

“By reuniting the islands and befriending a cast of charming characters, the world expands and reveals new parts of each area for Iko to explore. 

“Scour every nook and cranny in order to collect the many upgrades hidden around this world and face its numerous hidden challenges!”

Islets usually costs £16.75 / $19.99, but you can grab it for free in the next seven days.

It is available via the Epic Games Store until Thursday, April 4, 2024, after which it will be replaced by another free game.

You can download Islets either from the game’s page on the Epic Game Store’s website or directly via the Epic Games Launcher.

The launcher is free to download and required if you want to play the game, so it’s worth checking out.
