While PC Gamers know to expect free games on the Epic Games Store every Thursday and free games on Steam every now and then, sometimes coming out of left field. That's exactly the case with a free PC game coming later this month, February 18th to be exact, and it will be free to keep forever. The only thing players need is a PC, internet connection and a marked calendar.
On February 18th, the Legion Gaming Community will start a free Key Drop event starting at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET. To claim the key, players must have a Legion Gaming Community account, link it to their active Steam, and join the Key Drop queue when the time comes. Once done, players have 10 minutes to retrieve the free code and then redeem it through Lenovo's partner Gamesplanet. It is recommended that you are logged in to Gamesplanet before joining the Key Drop event for smoothness.
PC players can claim Heavy Rain for free
The key in question is for A lot of raina classic narrative, choice-based game from Quantic Dream (developer of Detroit: Become Humancurrently working on Star Wars Eclipse). It's an older title, released back in 2010 with a solid 87 score on Metacritic, but it's still well worth your time. However, it is worth noting that there are plenty of 10/10 scores from critics and users alike, with over 100+ 10/10 scores on the platform.
The main goal with A lot of rain is to identify the “Origami Killer” while navigating the plots and stories of four characters. Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, Scott Shelby and Norman Jayden are the playable characters, all with their own ties to the Origami Killer. As with the best choice-driven horror games, these characters can live or die based on the player's decision-making and skill.
Given that it's been released in various forms over the years, including a PS4 remaster in 2016 and a PC release in 2020, it's worth noting that this PC version is on par with the PS4 remaster. Fans can expect polished performance and visual upgrades from the original 2010 version. However, it is worth noting that this version is coming not includes DLC called The Taxidermist, given both its brevity and exclusivity to the original PS3 game.
Finally, fans should be aware that the Key Drop event is not an unlimited supply of free games. It usually takes a few hours, but these codes will undoubtedly go quickly. As such, fans should be ready to jump in when the Key Drop event starts and claim their 10/10 masterpiece completely free.

Keep your ear to the ground for free games
Free-to-play games are everywhere on the PC market, if one knows where to look. Steam is the most erratic of the bunch, but it also often has the most variety of the bunch, with the latest batch of free Steam games being a good example of a limited-time event. Variety is good, given the sheer number of PC players, but so is reliability. Fans should know that the Epic Games Store rotates in and out a selection of free games every Thursday at 10 CTs.
And of course there are those Key Drop events from the Legion Gaming Community. This isn't the first and it's far from the last, but ultimately it depends on someone's ability to be around at specific times.
