So many people complain about epic and it’s launcher. Yeah, it’s not great but it works just fine and with all the free games you can claim, it’s just crazy not to have a account for it.
Every week 1 to 2 games to claim and in December for like 2 weeks straight you get extra games to claim.
Who cares it’s a repeat or a less good game, it’s free. Try it out and maybe you’ll find your next favorite game!
I fully agree. There was some controversy about exclusives, and I get it, but the drama was completely disproportional to the issue. It turns out that console fanboys have evolved into launcher fanboys. I’m grateful for free games and an amazing games engine.
You can use heroic, it is pretty good and supports epic, gog and amazon games, also setups proton/wine for you if you are not on win
And if you’re not interested in having their launcher on your system, there’s an open source alternative called Heroic.
You can use it on windows? I’m using it on my steam deck to have access to prime, gog and epic.
It looks like a good alternative.
I totally agree. After all this time the store is still lacking very heavily.
I’m going to give the heroic client a try, works great on my steam deck.
I would just make a account and claim the free games through the website, their always on the frontpage to claim.
But to each their own ofcourse.
I’ve played a bunch of Epic free games.
This is me most weeks. Thanks for the reminder to claim them this week. :D
Cheeky self-plug, but if you join !freegames@feddit.uk you can see all the freebie notifications as they appear
I’ve got so many amazing free games from Epic over the years. When I grew up I’d have to play the same shitty demos over and over again because I couldn’t afford full games. Now I have hundreds of high quality games for free. This is truly the golden age of gaming. Being a kid right now must be magical.
As an aside, I grew up playing games like Jazz Jackrabbit, Epic Pinball, and Unreal. It’s so cool to see how they have continued to evolve. Especially the Unreal engine, which is basically witchcraft.
Control was sick though, (edit) I even bought the DLC for it. And they’ve had a bunch of free games that I had bought and played before they put them up for free.
