The number of services put online for free during the lockdown continues to grow. And this is also the case for video games! Publishers and platforms are constantly offering new titles to players and offers sometimes last only a very short time. Forward for the mid-April update.
Emergency: Assassin's Creed II on Uplay
Assassin's Creed II will be free until Friday, April 18 at 3 p.m. (French time) on Uplay. To do this, nothing could be simpler: simply have or create an account on Ubisoft's online platform, then "buy" the free game. Often considered one of the best episodes of the series, Assassin's Creed II allows you to meet Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian nobleman who became an Assassin during the Renaissance. The graphics have certainly taken a little old, but the soundtrack and the writing of the title will allow you to get into the mood for sure. Don't forget to say hello to Mona Lisa and Leonardo da Vinci when you see them. 
Metacritic rating of Assassin's Creed II on PC: 86
Three-in-One: Uncharted – The Nathan Drake Collection on PlayStation 4

The artwork: Journey on PlayStation 4
It is a declaration of love to the video game that is offered by Sony until May 6, 2020. Journey, literally "journey" in English, lives up to its name. The player takes control of an unnamed character to accompany him to the top of a mountain that looks like Mount Sinai. Between quest for identity and initiatory journey, Journey offers an experience that leaves real memories to its player. The landscapes and soundscapes are linked with beauty and lightness (words that also define the gameplay of Journey) during the ten hours that the game offers. Go for it. 
Journey Metacritic rating: 92 The list of games offered on different media is constantly evolving.
