Though the Epic Games Store is only offering one free game this week – the 3D puzzle game GNOG – it has two enticing titles for next week. The first is Heart Machine’s Hyper Light Drifter, an action adventure Zelda-like title with a 16-bit art-style. The other is The Bearded Ladies’ Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, a tactical turn-based role-playing game.
Both games will be free from August 15th to 22nd. You need an Epic Games account to claim them and the Epic Games Launcher to access them. Hyper Light Drifter is critically acclaimed and worth playing, especially with the developer’s follow-up title Solar Ash Kingdom releasing exclusively for the Epic Games Store.
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden recently received a paid expansion with Seed of Evil. Only the base game will be free on the Epic Games Store, but you also get a free mode with Stalker Trials, offering tougher challenges in remixed maps. There’s a free demo currently live on Steam, in case you want to try it out right now.
