Epic is giving away big games for the next few weeks again

2 days of repeats plus a tower defense game. Very poor
The first game at the time of writing is #58 on Steam by player count, one place behind Left 4 Dead 2 and one place ahead of Dead Rock Galactic and is overwhelming positive. 2nd was overwhelming positive swell, but is a repeat. Today's a a mediocre game from 2014 that no one seems to play anymore, and is a repeat. But tomorrow's, if the predictions are correct, seems to be very decent indeed.
 
Tomorrow's game:

We don't know exactly which game it is, might be any of the later ones or all of them.
 
Tomorrow's will most likely be Worlds, there's no way they are giving away a 2 month old game and if it was something like Batman the clue would have had something to do with that.
 
Next game appears to be Metro, perhaps Metro Exodus ? That would be nice
Would be nice if it was Exodus and the DLCs, but those colours match Last Light. So unless they give away all of them, it's another repeat. Wouldn't have been bad if it was one of the first giveaways, but a repeat for Christmas is just lame. Great series though, if it wasn't a repeat it would easily be the best game so far.
 
Tomorrow:

Death Stranding
Looked into it and it seems to be a Stanley Parable type of game, in the sense that it doesn't look that interesting and if you knew why its interesting it would spoil it. but from the gameplay it just looks like you are wounding around climbing hills and not really doing much, but I think there is more to it than that. Maybe someone who has played it could comment without any spoilers.
 
What cpu? Plenty of videos of it running at 60fps with that card on YouTube. It's a very well optimised engine. Looking forward to playing through it again on my Steam Deck.
Ryzen 1700, but even if I can get it to run I don't butcher games. I'd rather wait, I'm in no rush, I have plenty of other games I've saved up over the years to play.

Maxed out 1080p with your setup is no problem.

Actually yes, seems the minimum requirements were a bit misleading. Should easily be able to get half my refresh rate at 2304 x 1440 (78hz) or 1920 x 1200 (94hz), could even try a lower res or a different refresh rate. Its kind of surprising considering how bad other games that look vastly inferior run.
 
I thought it was an excellent game, certainly one of the stand out games of the year/decade. I just wish I could play it over again without knowing anything about it.
It's nothing like the Stanley parable though, which is also very good.
I was just saying its a type of game where there is more than meets the eye and know why its good ruins it.
 
Next game
Mortal Shell

Thursday's game should be good, last year they gave away all 3 modern Tomb Raider games.

Also Worms Revolution Gold Edition is free on Gog at the moment, better than a lot of the games given away on Epic.

Does anyone know whether they’ll start doing them daily around Christmas time? Had some pretty good games close to Christmas in recent years - the 3 Tomb Raider games a couple of years ago were amazing for free!

1st week is destiny after that it goes daily I think., then last week is one game, not sure how long the dailies are for.
A leak suggests first game is a week, then 15 days of daily games then the last is a week.
