As we swing into the Christmas period there should be no shortage of games to play, whether finding time to clear that backlog or throwing money at those end-of-year sales.
If you’re looking to hunker down with some traditional RPG style goodness then you’ll want to visit the Epic Game Store next week. From December 10th to the 17th, Epic are giving away both Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition and Tyranny: Gold Edition.
This pair of roleplaying games are developed by Obsidian Entertainment who have also worked on Star Wars, D&D, and Fallout in the past. Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny will definitely keep you playing for hours during the festive period if CRPGs are your jam.
In the meantime, you can redeem a free copy of all-time indie classic, Cave Story.
Below we’ve published the full list of Epic free games, complete with their availability dates and review links.
