Today on Epic Games Store Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is offered for free.


Seems to be an Xcom clone with a postive rating of 90/100 by Steam users.
I want that game on GOG.

@ Funcom/The Bearded Ladies
If you ever see this, put this game on GOG and I'll pay full price for it and it's DLC. Just throwing it out there...

EDIT: Seems it has been there for a while...

I feel dumb...to a point. Didn't know it was there because I had the "Mature content" filter enabled and it seems this game is classified as such by GOG...

But thanks for pointing that out!! :toast:

EDIT: Bought it! This is going to be fun..

Don't like EPIC?
Don't get me wrong, I like free. But I like GOG more and prefer to buy from GOG than get free from anywhere else. I value my privacy and value my rights to ownership.

But I digress, we are once again meandering from the topic...

We now return everyone to their regularly scheduled Free Games topic! :toast:

What do you think, will there be an Epic (pun intended) game on 24th day? :) I'd guess that they give an AAA title, but just a pure guess.

Finished downloading it and am trying it out now. It's been described as a cross between Fallout & XCom and I have to say, that rings true, it has that feel.

So folks, open your Epic Client and grab it while it's free. Can't argue with free.

EDIT; TLDR, as @Regeneration pointed out earlier, Mutant Year Zero is the game being discussed and is currently free on Epic;

Anything is possible. I would never have called them giving away GTA5 like they did, so...

By the way, just googling "free steam games" and I found this twitter account, looks useful as they announce when free games are available. https://twitter.com/steamgamespc

I should make a twitter account just to follow that. :laugh:

loop hero
second extinction
mutant year zero
checked.
i dont think pathfinder and humankind will be freebies but who knows. we'll wait and see
prey and vampyr are more likely to be given away thou they are available on epic for some time and they usually make giveaways on popular titles for their release day on epic

prey have quite positive user reviews.
vampyr's trailers looked interesting but reviews are all over the place.
not very tempted to purchase but if given for free i'll check both of them.
