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.

Call of the Sea is pretty good, I did everything in the game when it was on Xbox GP. I enjoyed playing it and the story and puzzles were decent.

Haha hilarious... I'm with you, I'll play it in 2050 once I get through the other 100's of free games in the queue.

In all seriousness, I appreciate this thread and all the info. I would have missed the DLC as well.

Nice, Kao the Kangaroo is the recently released reboot. I've been wanting to try that one out

Slickriven

27-Apr-2023(#24)

Horizon Chase Turbo is great - it's basically a redone Top Gear from the SNES/Genesis and I think it is maybe I repeat, but I own it and enjoyed beating it, bought the DLC too, but haven't got to that yet.

mystery game

PizzaTheHutt

18-May-2023(#28)

The mystery game is Death Stranding. Not sure why they made it a mystery game since it's a repeat.
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/death-strandin...

SwiftJAB

* 18-May-2023(#29)

Probably so that they wouldn't hurt the sales on a more popular title.

Would be great if they made the Director's Cut upgrade free

Slickriven

18-May-2023(#30)

Was it only a 1 day offering before, during the holiday blitz of freebies? Could be why they listed it as a mystery.

Frank

18-May-2023(#31)

Nah, it just looks like they are making the games a mystery now. Probably, as SwiftJAB said, to prevent hurting potential sales.

Slickriven

18-May-2023(#32)

Well it was a day only freebie when it was made available before. But yeah not hurting sales also seems wise - though they don't too often give away best sellers that are overly popular at the time, but whatever.

langev

* 20-May-2023(#33)

Epic does free mystery games when they have "big" sales/events. Currently having a Mega Sale until June 15th. Next week is a mystery game too.

Totally forgot last week. Bummed, that game looked cool. Guacamelee next week is great though. I loved the first one on Vita back in the day, but for some reason never played through the sequel.

Orlandu

9-Jun-2023(#39)

Same here. I guess I felt like the first game was enough. Maybe I'll finally give it a shot.

PizzaTheHutt

I've owned Payday 2 and Guacamelee 2 on Switch for years and haven't played either one. I'll get around to them...someday.

Speaking of Prime Gaming, @Frank you should reopen that thread since they add new games weekly now.
