I haven't purchased a single game from Epic yet but I own a nice little library due to all the free games. I have to say, Epic is cool for doing this on a regular basis. Now I haven't played anything they give away but I like free!

They have released some very good games in the past 8 months. I did find two that don't work, ie Metro 2033 & Batman Arkham Knight.
I'm currently playing "Soma" as of yesterday which Epic released a few months back.

What the what? You mean given away? SOMA "released" on steam in 2015.

Personally I only liked Arkham series, Subnautica and now Darksiders series giveaways. All others were meh.

SOMA was released by Epic for free for a short time along with all three Arkham series, one of which is not working which I have already pointed out in this thread.

I have all of them on my account. I also have a £10.00 discount on my account, so it's Metro Exodus or The Sinking City. Need to pick one before sales end.

EDIT SOMA: Play this game with 2.1 speaker+ or a good set of headphones. & pick normal+ in the game menu. Do not pick easy mode, it spoils the tension.

I think I have 15 games on EGS now. I don't get every game just because it's free or if I already own it somewhere else. It has to be a game that I don't have and want to play but anyway I have 15 games there now and only bought 2 for a grand total of $10 spent.

Thank you Epic.

Both of those games worked for me just fine.
Played trough Arkham City+Knight on Epic and Origins on Steam since thats where I had it 'Asylum I played already so skiped it'.

So far I've only bought Borderlands 3 on Epic and added all of the free games I think.

So what do you mean by Arkham Knight is not working? Can you define the trouble so I can follow up on it for my own play?

Double click on desktop short cut or from the folder where the game is kept, nothing happens.
