Download this, right now.Strange Adventures in Infinite Spaceused to be the most surprisingly expensive indie game on the PC market — $20, despite being almost a decade old — but now it’sfree. Beautifully, wonderfullyfree.

But what, exactly, are you getting for yourzerodollars? Arguably the coolest space exploration game ever, that’s what. Highly randomized and frantically paced, an average playthrough ofSAISlasts fifteen minutes or less, yet still manages to cram in all sorts of thrilling discoveries, fun (if incredibly streamlined) space combat,  and interesting strategic decisions into its seemingly meager playtime. I’ve previously gone into considerable detail aboutwhy the game kicks ass, but suffice to say it’s intensely replayable and really intuitive.
