Here’s a look at the games on sale this month on SHIELD.
GeForce NOW games on sale
A GeForce NOW membership (free for three months and $7.99 a month after that) allows SHIELD owners to stream a variety of games directly to their device via the cloud. Certain premium titles are also available to purchase separately such as the following games.
Mad Max (66% off on GeForce NOW—also comes with PC code to download the game)
Based on the popular sci-fi film franchise by the same name, Mad Max the game tasks players with exploring and defeating enemies in the open-world wastelands with the aid of your trusty car, which you can outfit with upgrades, weapons, and accessories. Vehicular travel and combat is a huge part of Mad Max, which offers up a very different atmosphere compared to other open-world adventure games. You don’t have to know a single thing about the film series to enjoy the game, though there’s plenty here for fans to appreciate, too.
The Wolf Among Us (50% off on GeForce NOW—also comes with PC code to download the game)
Sheriff Bigby Wolf has his work cut out for him in Wolf Among Us, a critically acclaimed adventure title from Telltale Games. This interactive story, which takes place in the Fables comic universe, features thick-lined graphics and purposefully grimy colors that perfectly frame the sad, intriguing world of the Fables, exiled heroes and monsters from classic fairy tales.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered(10% off on GeForce NOW—also comes with PC code to download the game)
Now’s an excellent time to revisit this sequel to the beloved adventure game, Maniac Mansion. Day of the Tentacle Remastered offers upgraded graphics, sound, and director commentary—though you’re welcome to opt out of the upgrades for a more classic experience. Day of the Tentacle is a classic adventure title, so just make sure you play it in a format of your choosing.
