Yeah I'm not surprised this one broke the store. To make matters worse, Epic were giving the Director's Cut away by accident.
While trying to get Death Stranding I encountered some really odd thing - My Epic Games store launcher switched to spanish after I clicked 'Get game'.
A restart switched it back to English, but it was fairly odd. Anywho, seems like a great game that I would probably never have played if I didn't get it for free, so no complaints here. :-)
If you have Amazon Prime you can get Dishonored 2 free through Twitch/Amazon Gaming. Should be available for about a month?
Worms Revolution Gold is free on GoG. Available for two or three days.
Today's Epic game is Severed Steel, some kind of fast-paced first person shooter. I've seen it compared to Super Hot. Tomorrow's Epic Game is most likely going to be Mortal Shell, a Dark Souls clone.
After that is the final day of the Epic Store giveaway. They usually have a good game on the final day.
I've had that happen to me a few times, although I don't recall if it was with Epic specifically.Originally Posted by Milton Finkelstein

Final day for the mystery games - and we have Dishonoured: Definitive Edition and Eximus: Seize the Frontline.
Next week we are back to the weekly games, with Kerbal Space Program and Shadow Tactics - Aiko's Choice.
Dang. Reddit had me convinced the Dishonored game would be Death of the Outsider, which is the only one I haven't played. It's on Game Pass but it would be a lot more convenient to not have a 60 gig download tied to a limited subscription window.
This year has been kind of a bust for me. The only thing I didn't have and want to play is the Lego thing. Mortal Shell would murder my PC. What's doubly weird to me is that both Kerbal and Shadow Tactics are better than most of the things during this giveaway.
The only game I have installed (and am likely to for quite some time) from this year's selection is Bloons TD6 - mainly because I enjoyed TD5 on Steam so much. Simple things etc.
Thanks to a certain online sweepstake last year (which I am still in shock over) none of the games would stretch my PC much (Won the Alienware 25 year anniversary sweepstake - got a shiny R13 and all the peripherals). Possibly the coolest part of it is that they shipped the peripherals in a wooden lootbox crate branded PUBG/Alienware 25. I now have the box under my desk.
Also - ALWAYS enter these sweepstakes! Frequently on the Alienware and Intel Gaming websites. It could be you!
The Intel Gaming website also has frequent sweepstakes for game codes.
Oh not me. Definitely not me! I never win anything. That's pretty cool though, congrats.
Amazon Prime is giving away codes for The Evil Within 2 on Gog for the next 28 days. Very good survival horror game.
This week's (Feb 2 - Feb 9) free Epic games are:
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
City of Gangsters
The former is a stand-alone expansion to Dishonored 2 featuring a new playable character. The latter is a city management sim about creating a crime empire.
The most interesting game Amazon Prime has this month is Morrorwind: Game of the Year Edition redeemable through GOG.
Not free games, but Valve released all the Steam sale dates for the next year:

Not free, but a charity bundle - Humble Bundle's Turkey/Syria Earthquake relief bundle - contains standard version of Gotham Knights and 70 other games/books. Mainly indie/smaller titles, but some bigger/more well known games in there like Payday 2, System Shock 1&2, Euro Truck Simulator 2, XCOM 2, Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Ghostrunner. Minimum price in the UK for the bundle is £24.92, which all goes to charity.
Dying Light Enhanced Edition is free on Epic from April 6 - April 13.
Zombie game with parkour traversal in it. I haven't played it myself but I got the impression it was a pretty average game buoyed up by the fact that it was a zombie game. It's made by the same people that did Dead Island, and there seem to be disagreement over which is better.
Amazon Prime has Wolfenstein: The New Order as this month's most notable free game.

Epic Game Store is having another sale, and another couple of mystery games.
The first was Death Stranding, which they have given away previously. It's available from now until May 25th.
Meanwhile Amazon Prime has Planescape Torment and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (the old one).
This week's freebie from Epic is Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition
And this week we get Payday 2 from the Epic store
Looks like the mystery stuff at Epic is over.
This week (what's left of it) is Guacamelee 1 and 2. I know this head's up is a little late, but these are pretty solid 2D action/adventure games. If you have the slightest interest in that type of game be sure to pick them up.
Amazon Prime Gaming's next batch of games are:
Prey (now)
Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (6/27)
Shovel Knight: Showdown (7/6)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (7/10)
Epic Games Store
June 29 - July 6, 2023: The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos
July 6 - July 13, 2023: Grime
I've never heard of either of these, but they are both reviewing well on Steam.
Epic Games Store has started their Summer Sale, so the titles being offered will probably be a bit higher quality for a couple of weeks.
July 20 - July 27: Murder by Numbers, Elder Scrolls Online
July 27 - August 3: Homeworld Remastered Collection, Severed Steel
Murder by Numbers is a sudoku puzzle game with a murder mystery attached. Elder Scrolls Online is an mmo with an optional subscription model. You can play without it, but it makes it easier to play. This is just them offering the base game (which tends to be pretty cheap). You still need to buy content packs.
Be sure to redeem Homeworld next week if you like RTS and/or space games. It's pretty neat.
