I hate Epic the launcher, sucks big time, I have had so many problems with the thing, Right now I can't log on to it all I get a message saying that there is something wrong with my internet connection, now considering I've been playing WOW all day a MMO I doubt there is anything wrong with my internet connection. Already have Batman Arkham city GOTY on steam, I'll just stick with that, screw epic.

It's not so much free game, as the game has gone free to play.

Surviving Mars free on Epic Store.
Don't forget to get some of the free DLCs from the DLC list as well.

Still can't afford it, besides I don't buy things from EPIC.

OOOH here's one for you, Surviving Mars green planet is on sale on the EPIC store for £16.14 with a normal retail price of £18.99, meanwhile it's not on sale on steam and they want £15.49. Something not right with that.

So Steam now has a sale on for Surviving Mars, while Epic is giving away the base game for free, the steam sale you can buy the surviving Mars: first colony edition for £18.01. Now you may think that you are better off getting the free edition but the steam edition includes the base game, the deluxe upgrade pack, and the season pass which is all of the game, if you were to acquire them from Epic it would cost you £36.98, that's more than twice the Steam price. Free doesn't mean better, also getting it from Epic means using the Epic launcher and it's rather large list of lacking features.

Yeah, or get it for free, decide that you like it and buy the bundle on Steam. You make it sound like you only have one choice which is also why the calculation makes no sense.
I liked the base game a lot but I am not willing to spend any money on any of the DLCs. So that is 0£.


Anyway Observer and Alan Wake is free on Epic game store, right now.
Both are horror games, I especially disliked Observer in that regard. So if you are fan of this genre, recommended.

Exactly what I'm doing, have been playing the free game from Epic for a week and enjoying Surviving Mars. Seriously thinking about getting the First Colony Edition on GOG which is on sale for about the same price as Steam for the next few hours, because not needing to run Steam/Epic launchers makes me happy.

I haven't paid for a game through Epic yet but have 9, only play Subnautica and Surviving Mars, though, and Fortnite but that's different.

How long will Epic keep doing a free game per week?

The Crusader Kings 2 base game is now free to keep on Steam (at least), this was announced at PDXCon together with the impending CK3.

Q.U.B.E 2 and Layers of Fear Masterpiece Edition are this week's free games from the Epic Store.

I've had Q.U.B.E 2 on my Steam wishlist for quite a while so that's a very welcome free addition.
