Free Game Alert: Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Faeria Now Available for Free from EPIC Games Store
Another week, another interesting free game being driven upon us by the EPIC Games Store. This time, it's Ubisoft's 345th entry in the Assassin's Creed series: Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Set in 1868 London, smack in the middle of the Industrial Revolution, this is considered to be the title that straightened out the franchise after the ill-received Assassin's Creed Unity, with an overall 76 score in Metacritic.
Also available for free is Faeria, a collectible-card game from developers Abrakam, which has a very respectable 81 score in Metacritic and an average 7.6 user score, putting it ahead of Syndicate in both metrics. Gameplay is often compared to a mix of Catan (with its hex-based, living board) and Heartstone (due to the collectible 300+ cards the game has to offer). It has single-player and PVP modes to scratch your particular craving at the moment, so it might be an interesting (and free) addition to your library.

I would have spent a good bit if I had bought those games so it's well worth taking a couple of minutes to sign up for an account. They even thank you for taking the free games. :)
Fortunately playing directly via the exe doesn’t start the launcher.
The only good thing about EGS tbh. It's kinda drm-free (game bundled drm e.g. denuvo notwithstanding). Though Idk if it’s incompetence (not having cart) or a feature.
Epic says adding a shopping cart is a long term goal. I don't understand why they don't have one by now. Every other store on the internet that I use has a shopping cart.
I am not going to complain. I have made close to $400 from the free games. I make more than a few new epic account, get the free games and sell the account on ebay. I buy games on Steam with the money. I wont sell my own Epic account.
Definitely not as cut and dry as copying over steam games but at least you can still backup games unlike MS store games.
Solves your problem for all launchers and any other games for any folders you want to add.
Definitely a great recommendation.
