Hyper Light Drifter and Mutant Year Zero are currently free on the Epic Game Store

Hyper Light Drifter is a great game. As someone that doesn't like rogue-lites or procedural generation, Hyper Light was exactly what I dreamed of by being an entirely bespoke experience with beautiful graphics and challenging gameplay. For free it is really worth checking out.

Mutant Year Zero I haven't played but I've heard generally good things?

So if you don't have a problem with installing the Epic Game Store, and honestly I don't want this thread to devolve into a bunch of reasons if you do or don't - sort it out in your heart of hearts but on your own - then these games seem like a real nice grab. Mostly I'm here to promote Hyper Light Drifter because I think it's terrific. When people swoon over stuff like Dead Cells I always think that more folk should have played Hyper Light. Not that it's a competition, but if it was.. then it would be the better game. But it's not! But if it was..

Definitely grabbing hyper light drifter, thanks for the head's up!

People should play HLD, absolutely incredible game, especially after the 60 fps patch.

Thanks for the heads-up! Grabbing em while I can.

wooo! yeah- this is a strong week for their giveaway promotion.

I will try both of these, thanks for the heads up!

If you like XCOM style games, Mutant Year Zero is a really good smaller scale one of those.

Hyper Light Drifter is excellent. What a good set of free games.

wow, holy shit. thanks for the heads up!!

Not as much of a factor for the EGS version, but did HLD ever stop doing that stupid thing where saves were system specific and couldn't even be manually synced between computers? I always love the first hour or so then got frustrated that I amstuck staying on my laptop or can't continue my game until I got back from travel.
