The weekend is well within reach, so it would best check out what freebies are on Epic’s storefront before putting your feet up.
This week the Epic Games Store is giving away Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, a side-scrolling platformer that’s sure to tickle the nostalgia of anyone fond of old-school platformers. Several developers behind Banjo-Kazooie even worked on it!
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is free on the Epic Games Store starting Thursday until Feb. 10, at 8 A.M. PDT / 9 A.M. MDT / 11 A.M. EDT, which gives you a week to download the game here.
If open-world RPGs are more your thing, Windbound is up for grabs next week. The Breath of the Wild vibes are strong with this one, and there’s a heavy emphasis on crafting.
Windbound came out back in 2020 to a somewhat messy reception. It’s sitting at 64 on Metacritic, while the Steam reviews are mixed. Most of the criticisms stem from glitchy situations and some questionable combat scenarios.
However, some say it nails the feeling of isolation that makes particular survival games special. Everybody loves its art style, and at the ultra-low-cost of free, it might be worth giving a try anyway!
