OurHand Of Fate 2called it “a bigger, better game than its predecessor in almost every respect”, though Alec Meer did think The Dealer wasn’t as strong a presence. Was a real ‘love to hate to him’ fella the first time. Game’s still good, though. We’ve said it’s one of the bestRPGstoo, whatever “RPG” means.

In short: two good games well worth grabbing for free. Epic do pay devs for these freebies, so you can do it guilt-free.

You have until 4pm (8am Pacific) on Thursday the 29th to claim ‘em for keepsiesfrom the Epic Games Store. After that, the next giveaway will be less exciting: character unlocks for the free-to-play idle clicker game Idle Champions Of The Forgotten Realms with a supposed “$100 value”. I’ll not be setting a calendar reminder for that.

Epic also did something quite unexpected with their store today: they added a whole other, better store to it.The Itch.io client is now on the Epic Games Storeand alright, sure, okay.
