Lots of repeats, as I noted last week, this week's 2 are both repeats, so is Ethan Carter, which is a decent title.

Rogue Legacy is new and annoyingly I bought it on Xbox a number of months ago and only played it like 3-4 times, so oh well.

FYI...there is some free dwarf character in Total War that you can get separately, but free

And Pinball FX is on there...I always liked it because I thought it combined pinball and video game stuff really well. It's free and should have a free table or 2 with it.

Do you recall how long ago this week's games were given previously? I didn't have either one yet.

Recall... nope, took a few mins to find, but if you visit https://www.epicgames.com/account/transactions you can see your transactions... had to hit the 'Show more' button a TON.
City of brass was from 6/1/2019
I never found Total War: Warhammer in my list... and I went to Google and couldn't find it on a few different lists of games given out... odd. I know for sure I didn't pay for it, so maybe it was some other odd giveaway or something.

Here's a pretty decent 1-page listing of all the Free Epic games from the past I came across whilst looking to see when Warhammer was free before - https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-store-free-game...

I must have missed City of Bras the first go around

This week's 2 seem like junk IMO, I can't see myself playing either, but they're free.

This week's freebies:
    Terraforming Mars

Next week's (May 12-19) freebie is:
    Jotun: Valhalla Edition
    Prey

Yo, Prey next week is a nice freebie!

Both of next week's titles are repeats, but I do agree with Frank that Prey is a solid offering. I think I 'own' Jotun on every PC game store there is and thankfully never purchased it... nor played it.

Oh wow, didn't even realize I had them already

Frank wrote:

Heh, I normally click on them to see if I do. I was pretty sure I had Jotun, but was a touch surprised at Prey. But I started it on Xbox early last year thanks to GP, just haven't played it in a while, nor got super far... I need to get back to it, but don't expect it to leave since the Bethesda purchase.

    A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Digital Edition
    Car Mechanic Simulator 2018

YAAAS! I've *almost* bought Game of Thrones the Board game like 50 times...I'm glad I caught this break!

If you aren't well acquainted with the board game world: GoT The Board Game is a true masterpiece for 6 players and captures the overall theme of conquest with alliances and betrayal very well. One of the cool things about it is that there are these 3 tracks and you will randomly 'bid' for using power points you can get in the game: The Iron Throne, The Valyrian Blade and the Raven if you are at the top of this track. The Iron Throne is cool because you decide ALL non-combat ties in the game for bids on other things.

It's a dudes on a map game, but you place markers face down on the territories you control and then flip those orders all at once (all players) so you can see who is going to attack, move, etc. You can also lend your combat power to any neighboring territory you want...so it creates a thematic feel. You cannot win the game alone with zero help...so you need to be crafty, but not too backstabby or people will not ally with you. Winner is the one who takes 7 castles on the board or it goes to 10 rounds. Amazing game!

I'll have to try it!

Ooooofff, that's gotta sting for people who've seen that game in the latest HBChoice.

If people want to simulate mowing a lawn so badly, they can mow mine. Win-win.
