Explained simply
Steam is a digital shop and library for PC games, run by Valve. Games listed as free to keep can be added to an account during the offer and played later; this differs from a free trial, which may end after a set period.
Hexologic is a number puzzle made by the independent studio MythicOwl and released in 2018. Players place dots in hexagonal grids to match number clues along intersecting lines, using rules that may feel familiar to people who know Sudoku.
The game’s strong player rating reflects reviews posted on Steam, though ratings are based on players’ opinions. Limited-time giveaways can introduce players to smaller games and help studios reach a wider audience.
