It’s that time of the week again. Time to sit in that gaming chair, put on your headset, grab your mouse and play some games. And if you’re looking for something new to play without having to sell a minor organ, Epic Game Store has you covered.
For those who don’t already know, Epic Games Store makes a game every Thursday or sometimes Friday, or sometimes, if you’ve been really good, two games are available for gamers to download and add to their libraries for free.
All gamers need to do to grab this fantastic gift for themselves is log into their Epic account, redeem the game or games on offer and add it to their library. Forever.
Today Epic Games Store offers Europa Universalis IV and Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You for players to grab until the 17th of August.
Europa Universalis IV
[Get it here]
Europa Universalis IV gives players control of a nation through four centuries. Players can rule their land and try to dominate the world with unparalleled freedom and historical accuracy.
Start before the Renaissance on a world map as it was then. Choose from any of hundreds of nations and then rule up to the Age of Revolutions.
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
[Get it here]
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You puts players into the role of Big Brother. Players will need to investigate the lives of citizens to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks.
Information from the internet, personal communications and private files are all accessible, but whatever information is supplied will have consequences attached.
Orwell is a new governmental security program that has the power to survey the online presence of every person in The Nation. It can monitor all personal communications and access any computer.
To preserve citizens’ privacy, human researchers examine the data Orwell finds and decide which information should be passed on to the security forces and which should be rejected.
If either of these games appeals to you, head to the Epic Games Store and add the games to your library before the 17th of August, when the next free game goes live.
