Now until Feb. 6
Farming Simulator 19

I forget to check most weeks, so thought I'd create a reminder thread for myself as much as anyone.

Remnant is a repeat, but is a solid title.

12/20's title is Loop Hero

I considered buying this only a few weeks ago, so glad to get it for free.

I'm very happy with all the games so far. I was expecting them to give us the trash no one wants. Or, the kinda cheesy stuff that isn't terribl, but no loss if you never played it.

Epic Store is acting up for me, not loading up the purchase screen for Second Extinction. I figure it's a temporary issue, but it locks up the whole application.

EDIT - not surprisingly, it finally went through.

Second Extinction is a bad game. It's on gamepass ATM and I didn't like it at all

FWIW - Mutant Year Zero is a repeat. I want to say it was also a 1 day freebie from the last 'Holiday Event'.

The page where you order this wouldn't load any text, images or video, but I was able to see the outlines of the Get button. Ordered it. Have no idea what it is, but I got it. Free is free.

I just used my coupon to get The Banner Saga Epic Trilogy. It's down to $14.99, so after the coupon, I only had to drop $5 for it. Not bad.

I used the last coupon to grab Journey for $5 as well. Was considering Death's Door then, so might get that this time. I also got Hades for like $8 several months back with an even older coupon, still need to play that game - I did beat Journey right away.

@Frank do you recall when Control was a available before? I didn't have it and have been really good about getting virtually all of them.

I'll check my library when I get a chance, to see when it was added.

According to a SlickDeals link I came across, the next titles are:
28th: Moving Out [confirmed by leaker] - was a GwG offering on X1 before
29th: Salt and Sanctuary [confirmed by leaker]
30th: Rise of Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider (2013) [rumor]

If accurate, I don't believe that the 2 confirmed would not be repeats. I have Rise already, so that would be a repeat, the '13 TR might be as well and I simply didn't bother claiming it since I beat it a good while back. Shadow would be nice but would tax my old PC.

Moving Out is now available
Seems like the leak was accurate for today, so expect Salt & Sanctuary tomorrow.

Game was free via Twitch/Amazon Prime Gaming in the past

Moving Out looks fun, I originally wanted to get it on Switch until I saw the co-op was local only. Does the Epic Games launcher allow you to have a friend connect remotely online to trick the game into thinking you're playing locally, like Steam and PlayStation 4 allow?

My gf and I played through the campaign back in January, when it was available on GamePass (not sure if it still is). It was fun playing together, but I could see online coop being frustrating.

The one thing I don't like about GamePass is you typically don't know when the rotating games are leaving, until less than a month away.

Agree 100% - if you use the phone app you can see what's leaving on the 15th and end of each month and that's not a lot of lead time. I do use the app nearly daily to get some of the M$ rewards things and do check that 'Leaving Soon' part.

I know this one dude put all of the titles on this spreadsheet and that's helpful to a degree, but a longer, better notice of leaving titles would be greatly appreciated, welcomed.

Edit - heh according to that link, it left back in April, was only available for a year.
