Get Dead Island 2 and Happy Game for Free

The Epic Games Store is now handing out free copies of Dead Island 2 and Happy Game as its latest round of weekly giveaways. As usual, these are for keeps if you snag them over the next seven days. After that we'll get new gifts, which are only being revealed as three mystery games for now. Here are the extremely brief summaries of each of today's freebies:

A deadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning inhabitants into zombies. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, uncover the truth behind the outbreak and discover who -or what- you are.

A little boy falls asleep to a horrible nightmare. Can you make him happy again?

Just finished riptide a few months ago and had my eye on this. Last of the big Epic exclusives.

*Timed exclusive, it's been on Steam for more than a year now! But free is better.

It's a decent open world action RPG, but not as good a zombie game as Dying Light 2. Too much grinding to keep up with the enemies scaling in level with you and there are far fewer of them in general, so they end up being just like enemies in any other game, not a proper undead apocalypse fantasy with large hordes that you can eventually master avoiding or slaughtering.

It's a fun game. Definitely worth it for free.

I actually spent time perusing the Epic store today after SNAGGING my freebies, and I have to say that it is a VAST Improvement from what I remember. I have too big of a library to worry about managing it over yet another platform (97% of my library is on Steam) so I will not start shopping on Epic, but I can honestly say that if Epic had launched like it is now we might be looking at a more competitive market in the Digital Gaming space. Had they been first instead of Steam I would be using them without a doubt.

If you're a young person or just getting into PC gaming, seriously, give Epic Game Store a look.

First decent freebie they've offered in quite some time. Dead Island 2 has been on my wishlist for ages but I've never snapped it up because I'm still working through the similar-but-sans-parkour Dying Light 2.

Couldn't snag DI2 because I already bought it on Epic a long while ago.

Shhhhhhhnaaaagggged.

Dead Island 2 is a nice surprise. Gonna demo it on EGS before deciding if it is worth adding to wishlist on Steam even for a non-zombie fan like me.
