You can claim an original PlayStation classic for free, but only for a limited time, so you need to act fast before missing out.
We often love a good freebie, especially when said freebie is a beloved classic of yesteryear and one that is highly thought out. Oh, and if you love point-and-click adventures, then this free game could be your cup of tea.
Every month, the Epic Games Store gives away tons of free video games and DLC. Some of those titles are absolute bangers, which is why it can be so baffling that so many of these freebies will go by unnoticed. However, we’re here to make sure that you don't miss out on this particular beloved classic.
The free game in question is the classic point-and-click adventure, Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, which was originally released in 1996 on PC and PlayStation, before being ported to other platforms.
For its time, the visuals were crisp and gorgeous, and looked like something straight out of a Disney production. There is also something unique about point-and-click games that makes you feel part of their worlds, more than some other genres.

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is free on Android and iOS devices. Typically, this mobile port would cost £7.99, but right now, it won't cost you a penny, as long as you claim the game during its free promotion.
