One of the better unknown games I've played. It's free right now. Give it a go if you like rogue-like/souls-like types. Very rewarding gameplay (and pretty difficult).

Free on Epic, not anywhere that matters.

I don't understand this way of thinking tbh. Its free. Who cares. I never buy anything on epic. I just claim and play free games they give away. I don't fanboy any corporation.

Yeah I mean, it's silly as shit.

Both Epic and Valve are like multi-billionaires in the gaming industry. So it's silly to me that people are rah-rah'ing for one billionaire over another billionaire. And please spare me the launcher comparisons, I know Steam is like feature rich, though it is because of it's stupid social features and built-in Chromium browser that it had to cut off old OS support.

I don't care for any of that shit, game is a game.

Because that way you give relevancy to that platform, and let it take your data.

Fuck Epic, they should make better products, not give away free shit.

If they ever get any relevant amount of users, they will enshittify so hard you won't believe it.

If you have to install Epic launcher to play it, you might as well pirate. Your odds of installing spyware on your system are much lower on the high seas.

You don't need an epic launcher to play any of their free games.

Or just use something like Heroic Games Launcher instead:

While it would have been nice for OP to mention this, honestly dude, fuck off. People can decide for themselves if they want to install Epic for a free title without this kind of toxic, elitist discourse.

You don't need any epic products to play epic games.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't you need an Epic account and the Epic store, which are Epic products?
