News & Reviews:   Epic Games Store

It's been a while since Epic Games was giving away free games during our MCO period, and just a few hours ago, the gaming platform just sent out not one, not two, but three games for free for us to claim. The three free games are Killing Floor 2, Lifeless Planet: Premium Edition and The Escapist 2.

For those who enjoy playing games with superior graphics on a PC, the chance for you to play one of the open-world RPGs around is coming soon. Guerilla Games has confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn will be available on PC soon, with a few improvements over the original Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) version to make it worth the wait.

From our last news about Epic Games Store, the free game was supposed to be ARK Survival: Evolved but it got delayed for some reason. It was replaced by Overcooked but now that a week has passed, ARK Survival: Evolved is back on track alongside Samurai Showdown: Neogeo Collection. That's right, instead of one free game, you get two free games this time.

Over the past few weeks, the leaks of Epic Games Store free game giveaways have been accurate. First started with GTA V, followed by Civilization VI and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, we all thought that ARK Survival will be the next one but turns out it was not the case. In fact, turns out it was none other than Overcooked!

In Epic Games' third epic game giveaway, the prediction of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection turned out to be true and it's currently free to claim on the said platform. Just as other previous titles, The Handsome Collection will be free to claim on a limited time until 4 June 2020.

Sometimes being generous isn't good news for everyone and it seems that's the case for regular Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA Online) players on PC. When the Epic Games Store announced that Grand Theft Auto V would be free, many were quick to jump on the deal and download the game. This brought in a flood of new players to the game, many who are hackers and cheaters.

By now, I'm sure that many of you have already claimed the Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition game on Epic Games store. The traffic surge sure broke the server last night and we are sure it could happen again tonight. If you paid attention, there is also another mystery game to be given away tonight at 11PM but what could the game be?

Aside from the pleasant Grand Theft Auto V Premium Edition giveaway by Epic Games late last night, the company is also doing an Epic Mega Sale starting today onwards until 11 June 2020. How epic is it you ask? Well, there are many games on a massive discount now up to 75% AND you also can get a free coupon worth $10. That's a free ~RM43 there!

Update: Rumours of the GTA V giveaway turned out to be true, it's not just a standard version but a Premium Edition! Now I gotta add that to my library!

Epic Games have been very generous to us gamers during this pandemic period, we have gotten a lot of free games such as World War Z, Just Cause 4, Assassin's Creed Syndicate and many more. In this latest news, rumours (or probably not) have it that Grand Theft Auto 5 will be the latest free game giveaway and it will be revealed at 11PM tonight in Malaysia.

If you missed hanging around past midnight a few hours ago, we got some news for you. In the season of remastered games, the legendary Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has been announced as the latest addition. Promptly dubbed as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, the remastered edition is scheduled to be released on 4 September 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Epic Games Store).
