Epic Games is getting into the spirit of October, adding Stubbs the Zombie to its growing list of freebies. As with past giveaways, all you need to do to claim your free copy is log into the Epic Games launcher or store then redeem the free game before it vanishes. It’s then yours to keep forever!
But is worth downloading this week’s free Epic game? Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse is a remaster of the creepy Xbox exclusive that originally launched in 2005.
Sitting on an OpenCritic average of 57, we scored Stubbs a 6/10 in our review, concluding:
There’s a bitter sweet feeling to playing Stubbs the Zombie in 2021. The game is too dated and linear to really recommend and some of my fond memories were tarnished by revisiting it, but the core gameplay still has enough to keep you engaged and the setting and humour still stand out. I still think it is worth a return play for those old enough to remember it first time around and I am glad that it is finally available again. There is enough here to get your heart pumping, but there’s a persistent whiff of decay that you just can’t shift.
Sticky with the spooky theme, Epic has confirmed that the next free game is Among the Sleep.
