I Am Your Beast really delivers for fans of high-energy first-person shooters, keeping players on their toes with thrilling speed and sharp execution. This past Thursday, the game’s creator, Strange Scaffold, dropped the second and final expansion titled Cold Sweat. And here’s the kicker – it’s free! Aimed squarely at speedrunners and expert assassins, this expansion cranks up the difficulty to the max.
The beauty of Cold Sweat is that it doesn’t tie into the main storyline. It takes a break from Alphonse Harding’s guerilla warfare against the Covert Operations Initiative played out in the dense forests connected by a labyrinth of tunnels. Instead, Cold Sweat whisks players into a more dreamlike, almost supernatural setting. Picture terrain floating mysteriously in the air and a psychedelic snowman gliding on skates. These eerie, nightmare-like levels match the punishing difficulty perfectly, making them a fantastic final chapter for I Am Your Beast.
Starting off a level in I Am Your Beast puts you racing against the clock; a timer relentlessly counts down, with precious seconds only added back through taking out enemies and completing objectives. Pulling off slick moves, like chaining headshots together or using explosives with precision, activates a unique feature where the timer can actually go negative, letting players finish levels in style. And if you’re interested in diving into this adrenaline rush, then you’ll be pleased to know the game is currently available on Steam at a cool 30% off.
