Also, they're giving away copies of XIII , which I think is the original version and not the crappy remake.
Games on SALE!

This week's freebies from Epic are:
- Deponia: the Complete Journey
- Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth
- The First Tree
I know nothing about Deponia or Pillars, but The First Tree is pretentious crap. It can be pretty, but the story is poorly told and not integrated into the gameplay well. The maps are horribly designed. Most of the time is spent wandering around empty spaces, interspersed with finding audio triggers so close together that you'll have to sit and wait to trigger the next one if you want to hear all of the story. It's an awkward journey with no real payoff at the end.

Humble LEGO Built to Bundle
Sadly there are only 2 games in this bundle that I don't already have, but holy crap $1 for LEGO Ninjago or $10 for everything are both fantastic deals. I cannot recommend the LEGO games highly enough.

Just a warning for folks: This is a HIGHLY political game and it doesn't pretend that it's not (it's originally from itch.io) about socialist worker liberation in capitalist police state.
It's being released in honor of International Workers Day (you might call it May Day), which is the actually Labor Day that gets celebrated around the world and not the fake one the US government moved to September to intentionally distance the day from it's labor origins.

New games available through Prime Gaming:
- Healer's Quest
- Beholder
- The Blind Prophet
- Yoku's Island Express
- A Blind Legend
Some very interesting offerings here. Most notably A Blind Legend is an audio-only adventure game, Yoku's Island Express combines platforming with pinball elements, and Healer's Quest is a comedy RPG. All have mostly or overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

Tekken 7, but is it Tekken 7 with or without DLC because that's about a 12000 dollar difference here.

Steam's Open World Sale is this weekend, and has a bunch of stuff from my wishlist on sale.
But there's another mystery game next week. (He says with less enthusiasm than last time.)
It's Among Us (just the base game)
But there's another mystery game next week. (He says with less enthusiasm than last time.)
It likely won't be next week's mystery game, but I wouldn't be surprised if Maneater is offered for free at some point.
If I were Epic and wanted to be huge asshole, I would've made it a free game this week, on the same week it released on Steam. I can't imagine a bigger "fuck you" to Valve than giving away a game for free that you held hostage as exclusive for the past year.

Considering that a game's first week on Steam is a significant chunk of it's sales, and also influences it's place on the chart and in algorithms, I imagine that Epic would have to offer a serious chunk of change to the developer in exchange. Whatever game this happened to would risk causing sales of their game to tank permanently by giving up their main chance at gaining momentum on Steam.
Little Nightmares is free on Steam for a limited time. If you haven't played it, it's a solid horror platforming style game.

- Mugsters
- Spitkiss
- Frog Climbers
- Mana Spark
- Bombslingers
- Faraway Directors Cut

Oh, and if you haven't noticed yet, Prime Gaming now has it's own launcher, which blows, but does include the ability to claim the free games right there instead of the previous process (log into Amazon account with Prime, log into Twitch, claim games). If you were already claiming the games, you probably had the Twitch launcher installed anyway.
Anyone who doesn't have it already can also grab Homeworld: Remastered on Steam for less than $4, and all the DLCs (including the soundtracks, but not the Kharak expansion) are less than a buck. They're even throwing in the original non-remastered versions for free when you buy the bundle.
