The game "Prey" is today's freebie on the epic store
A nice Half-Life-like game but with some crappy collision detection sometime, being stuck in a vent opening is not uncommon unfortunately (some people suggest to try to run then crouch to slide through them)

I'd say it's more like Deus Ex than Half-Life, and getting stuck on geometry is rarer than people will make out as I've run through the game a few times with minimal issues but there certainly are a few snags. The store page also implies that Mooncrash is included as well, can't tell as I haven't installed this version.

The beginning (out of the simulation thing) really reminded me of half life with the character starting to wear his costume/armor and go through an experience that goes wrong and getting a crowbar wrench to defend yourself.

Now for the bugged collisions, must have my legendary bad luck(tm) back as i got stuck in the first vent i opened from inside (only the vent i opened from outside allowed me to go through normally).

Today on the epic store, the freebie is "Control" again (it was a few months ago already), still a very good game (a bit repetitive unfortunately after a while)

X-Morph Defense is free on GOG. It's one of those tower defense games where you also have an action protagonist unit. Going to try it today.

[Robsoie]

Looks like an interesting take on the tower defense gameplay with shooter elements.

edit : on the epic store today they have "Mages of Mystralia", seems to be an old school action adventure game.

And today's Epic is... Moving Out. It's decent couch co-op in an Overcooked sort of way, but I didn't find it nearly as engrossing.

Today on Epic it's Salt and Sanctuary a 2d souls-like.

[Robsoie]

From a video it seems like a Castlevania-like with a Dark Soul painting (with more dark interior and fog)

Apparently it seems tomorrow it will be "Tomb Raider Trilogy" (Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider)

[Persus13]

Salt and Sanctuary has gotten some attention around here, including but not limited to this old thread.

[Robsoie]

As the leak mentionned, it's the Tomb Raider trilogy for free today on the epic store , 3 games for free

Rise of the Tomb Raider : 20 years Celebration
Shadow of the Tomb Raider : Definitive Edition
Tomb Raider : Game of the Year Edition

(in case you're wondering chronologically the order of release was "Tomb Raider" then "Rise of the Tomb Raider" then "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" )
And with those 3 games, the epic store goes back to its 1 free game by week system, so you have a week to claim the 3 tomb raider games.

I'm pretty happy about this, I hesitated to buy these games only to give my GPU a good kicking, now I can just play it and decide midway to stop if I don't like it... I'm not sure I will like it, the old ones were not for me.

[Robsoie]

Looks like those games must be very popular as for now it killed the epic download servers

[Aoi]

You got as far as the download servers?! I'm still stuck on the payment servers.   

[Robsoie]

I don't use the epic launcher (i add the games to my account through the epic store website itself, then i just use Legendary for download) so maybe it's why i went through the payment part.
Fortunately for those games you have a week to claim them, so hopefully they will be easier to get with time.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead available at GoG... has a vague Darkest Dungeon feel to it, though not really. It a fairly recent release (I want to say late 2019?) and, as I recall, pretty solid. Definitely worth picking up for free.
