Stranger Things 3: The Game is a decent throw-back to older titles and a strong tie-in to the current third season to the show. Being a game version of the third season, you need to have prior knowledge of the show, its events and characters otherwise it'll be lost on you. Beyond this, the game has a nostalgic feel with charming retro visuals and beat-em-up combat, combined with modern sensibilities like making the areas of Stranger Things explorable, with a decent amount of content thrown in to give the game a decent amount of gameplay value. The only major issue is that towards the end of the game there's too much repetition. Still, for the smaller price, it's more than worth it for fans of the series.
Based on season three of the hit Netflix show, Stranger Things 3: The Game has a good mystery but only for Netflix members.
Stranger Things 3: The Game is being delisted from sale on Steam and GOG — it's your last chance to buy this digital companion to Stranger Things Season 3.
I assume the license expiry is due to Netflix wanting to venture into the gaming market, so maybe they didn’t want to renew so they retain the properties rather than license them out.
I kinda thought the same thing.
Seems they want to have full creative control over their gaming content going forward.
Starting today, Stranger Things 3: The Game and AER: Memories of Old are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until July 2 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
