Epic Games Store Gives Away $30 of Free Games for the Next Week

Another week, another slate of free games available to redeem on the Epic Games Store. Every week, the PC gaming digital storefront allows players to add games to their library for free. Sometimes, the offers are pretty great and include titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Civilization VI, and Deathloop. This week’s entries may not be nearly as exciting as any of those, but they may still be worth grabbing, especially as players who do so will save $30 in doing so.

The first free game is Hidden Folks, a puzzle game developed and published by Adriaan de Jongh. Players are tasked with finding specific targets within a hand-drawn area, akin to a Where’s Waldo? book. While it looks simple, the game has been highly regarded by players and critics. On its Steam page, which lists its price at $14.99, it currently holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating across 7,000 reviews. On Metacritic, it garnered an average score of 83 across 8 critic reviews.

The second free game is Totally Reliable Delivery Service, a physics-based game where players attempt to deliver packages using various gadgets and vehicles. Typically priced at $14.99, the game isn’t as highly regarded as the other free Epic Games Store offer for the week. On its Steam page, its user reviews are “Very Positive.” On Metacritic, it received an average score of 64 across 6 critic reviews.

Here are descriptions for each game, as well as features players can expect from this week’s free Epic Games Store games:
