Highlights
- Steam users can claim Machinika Museum for free until May 27, offering a sci-fi mystery story and 2-4 hours of gameplay.
- The puzzle game resembles classics like Myst and The Room, with a "very positive" user review score on Steam.
- Due to unpredictable giveaways, users should seize the chance now to snag a free game on Steam.
From now until May 27, Steam users have the chance to claim 3D puzzle game Machinika Museum completely free of charge. Steam doesn't host weekly giveaways like the Epic Games Store does, but there are times when users are able to snag freebies on the platform.
Whereas Epic Games Store users know they're getting new free games every Thursday, Steam free games are much more difficult to predict. The free games are typically given away by the developers and publishers behind the games, not Steam itself, which makes the giveaways unpredictable. This makes it especially exciting whenever a game is given away for free on Steam, and users should be sure to claim them whenever they can.
Steam Game Gets Major Player Count Spike 9 Years After Release Thanks to Sale
An older Steam title receives a major player count boost nine years after its original launch, thanks to a steep discount on the game.
Right now, Steam users can claim Machinika Museum for free. The 3D puzzle game typically retails for $7.99, but Steam users can snag it for absolutely nothing as long as they do so by May 27. Developed by Littlefield Studio and published by Dear Villagers, Machinika Museum has players learning about alien technology by solving puzzles. Machinika Museum gives players a sci-fi mystery story to unravel as they solve its many puzzles, with the developers claiming that it will take most players about two to four hours to complete the game.
Machinika Museum is Free on Steam
Machinika Museum puzzles mostly revolve around interacting with 3D objects. For those wondering what puzzle games it may be similar to, the developers have compared the game to classic puzzler Myst as well as the more recent puzzle game hit The Room, so fans of those titles should find a lot to like about Machinika Museum. As a matter of fact, Machinika Museum currently has a "Very Positive" overall user review score on Steam. There aren't many professional reviews for Machinika Museum to go by, but the user ratings make it clear that it's a solid puzzle game and should make for a great Steam freebie.
Due to the unpredictable nature of Steam free game giveaways, it's hard to say when the next free game will come along. Considering how long Machinika Museum is being given away for free through Steam, it's entirely possible that the next free game will overlap with the current giveaway. Alternatively, it could be quite a while before Steam users have another chance to snag a free game for their digital library. Considering this, Steam users should be sure to claim Machinika Museum for free while they still can.
