Final warning that today and today only you can get Total War Troy for free from Epic.
Another good week from Epic.
Hitman (2016) - August 27th - September 3rd, 2020
Shadowrun Collection - August 27th - September 3rd, 2020
Hitman is a sort of stealth game in which you must assassinate targets. It's unique among stealth games in it is largely about finding disguises and wearing the right one for the job. You might pose as a guard to get through a back door, then find a waiter and use that to access the kitchen so you can poison a drink. The levels are large and varied.
Shadowrun Collection contains all three of the Shadowrun strategy rpg games developed through Kickstarter. The first one is rough but they get progressively better.
I thought Shadowrun was quite new, but I suppose not as new as Total War Troy was. I'm just not used to free games being newer than...I dunno a decade or so :-D
Shadowrun is actually pretty old for Epic's standards. It's all that Fortnite money. They can afford to throw it around a little.
I thought they were going to need that Fortnite money now that they're wrestling with Google and Apple? :-)Originally Posted by Wool
I have to admit I thought it was pretty funny when Epic decides to pick a fight with Apple and Apple responds by banning Unreal Engine as a whole and not just Fortnite.
I can only imagine Epic was emboldened by the recent antitrust hearings. They don't have that much money.
Ubisoft is giving The Division away for free until September 8th.

The best thing about the Division was actually just running around in the city and looking at things. It's really well made, and is probably worth it just for that. I doubt there is much of a community left to sustain it with it being old and Division II being out and all.
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Complete on Epic now through October 1st.
And I agree with how amazing the city in The Division looked. Its one of the only things I actually liked about it.

I've been neglecting to check the Epic Game Store, but this month they are giving away spooky themed games for Halloween, which is something I find fun to do as well, so here you go.
We already missed a few (sorry), but the next batch are:
October 22nd - 29th, 2020
Costume Quest 2
Layers of Fear 2
October 29th - November 5th, 2020
Blair Witch
Ghost Busters: The Video Game Remastered
Epic Games Store again
Dungeons 3: November 5 - 12
It's apparently a Dungeon Keeper style game. I was set to ignore it, but the reviews on Steam seem good.
Looks like Elite Dangerous is free on the Epic Games Store November 19 - 26 for those who don't have it yet. Also The World Next Door
I grabbed Elite Dangerous.
I have it for PS4, and bought a Hotas for it. It is defintely the best Space Sim I've played since Wing COmmander: Privateer (The reason I went looking for and got it in the first place).
ONe truly amazing game.
MY PC Now will not play it, but I am planning on a new build, and plan on doing an even greater Hotas setup when I do. Fantastic game. SO much fun.
I picked it up too. I don't know when I will make time for it (I've got sooo many games on here now), but I've seen enough praise from you guys for it to deserve my attention.
Next set of games on Epic look good (if you haven't already picked them up) - 10 - 17 Dec 20 Pillars of Eternity (Definitive Edition) and Tyranny (Gold Edition)
I agree. Anyone who likes crpgs and hasn't tried these yet should. I was personally disappointed with Tyranny but really liked Pillars of Eternity.
Epic Games 15 days of Holiday Free Games:
Cities: Skylines base game (until 12/18)
A few fake leaks of the games for each day have been going around, but one of the supposed leaks has been right several days in a row now so I'll go ahead and share it. If a game ends up being wrong I'll edit this post. Via reddit:
- December 17 - Cities Skylines
- December 18 - Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty
- December 19 - The Long Dark
- December 20 - Defense Grid: The Awakening
- December 21 - Alien Isolation
- December 22 - Metro 2033
- December 23 - Tropico 5
- December 24 - Inside
- December 25 - Darkest Dungeon
- December 26 - My Time in Portia
- December 27 - Night in The Woods
- December 28 - Stranded Deep
- December 29 - Solitairica
- December 30 - Torchlight 2
- December 31 - Jurassic World Evolution
There is also always the chance one game drops out and gets replaced with something else, but these are all small and/or old enough games that I don't think it's likely.
Most of these I already have, but I missed Inside last time they gave it away and have been eyeing Jurassic World Evolution for awhile. Of the ones I played Darkest Dungeon was the best.
Free Epic Game Store game this week is Crying Suns, a sci-fi rogue-lite* strategy game that is supposedly inspired by Dune and Foundation.
*rogue games are games in which you are expected to fail and then try again from the beginning, like FTL. Rogue-likes tend to be more hardcore and make you start over from scratch, rogue-lites tend to be more forgiving and have a progression system that does not reset.
Next week they are giving away Star Wars Battlefront II. Personal opinion: the single player campaign was kind of trash and incredibly disappointing. The multiplayer eventually became very popular once EA got shamed out of the constant loot boxes and microtransactions, I believe.
Crying Suns : Jan. 7 - Jan. 14
Star Wars Battlefront II : Jan. 14 - Jan. 21
