Until November 1, Steam users can claim the 2016 sci-fi adventure game Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis, which holds Very Positive user reviews. Steam offers plenty of free-to-play sci-fi titles, but Space Pilgrim might be the best pick for players seeking a bit of nostalgia in the genre.
Space Pilgrim isn’t the only freebie intergalactic adventure enthusiasts should know about. There’s also a simultaneous giveaway on Steam for a sci-fi game called Distant Space, which, like Space Pilgrim, offers plenty of nostalgia. However, it’s an arcade-style title with little to no narrative. Players looking for a deeper and more meaningful campaign should definitely check out the third episode of the Space Pilgrim series instead.
Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis Is a Pixel-Art Space Adventure
According to the Steam page of Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis, it follows Captain Gail Pilgrim and her crew as they explore deep space. The game features top-down, pixel-art gameplay with a rich story. While only the third episode is included in the giveaway, the good news is that the first episode is already free-to-play, and the second costs less than a dollar, making it a prime chance for fans of retro-style sci-fi games to experience the full story. Additionally, all other Space Pilgrim episodes and spin-offs are currently 72% off on Steam, a discount fans are encouraged to take advantage of before it ends on November 12.
As one of Steam’s short indie games, Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis takes around three to five hours to complete. Players will interact with various crew members, solve simple puzzles, and complete sci-fi-themed missions to progress through the campaign. This episode’s story focuses on planetary politics and tough decision-making, though players may need to play all four episodes to fully grasp the overarching narrative. It’s worth noting that Space Pilgrim Episode 3: Delta Pavonis currently holds 89% positive reviews on Steam, suggesting that most players have enjoyed it. It’ll be interesting to see if the game receives more reviews in the coming days as more users try it out while it’s free.
Fans of Steam freebies should also note that The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is giving away two skin bundles as part of its Halloween celebration. Players have until November 3 to claim these outfits and take part in the game’s limited-time event featuring double XP boosters. Meanwhile, Cities: Skylines 2 is free-to-play until November 10. However, unlike Space Pilgrim, Cities: Skylines 2 isn’t free to keep and will return to its paid status once the offer ends.
