Ready for this week's free Epic Games Store games? With the world continuing to be impacted by Covid-19, there's never been a better time to stay indoors and game. Whether you're setting out on an epic single-player adventure, or teaming up with your buddies online, video games are the cure all we need right now during these unprecedented times. It's nice of Epic to give away free games each and every week, then.
Epic is giving away Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, which is available until October 22. Brace yourself for a first-person horror game that drags you into the depths of greed, power and madness.
Grab it here this week, and check out the trailer below:

More free games
As for the other games? Well, Epic is also giving away Kingdom New Lands, a micro strategy game where players take control of a monarch struggling to build their kingdom. You'll need to explore the world, recruit subjects and defend against nightly attacks.
Epic Games Store is continuing to offer free games every week for the foreseeable future as part of its commitment to winning over gamers. It's aiming to establish itself as a serious game distribution force, duking it out against the long-standing king of PC gaming, Valve's Steam platform.
While Epic has courted some controversy through its aggressive approach to securing PC gaming exclusives for its platform, it's hard to argue against its continued distribution of top-notch free games.
Next week's games
Can't wait to get your hands on some more games without spending a penny? Well, we've got some good news. Epic has already revealed what's coming next week – players can download Costume Quest 2 and Layers of Fear 2 from October 22.
