Free Epic game is NBA 2K21 which I would have kept a secret too. Next week is another secret but hard to get excited about it following this reveal Also, you can log in and get a $10 coupon which hopefully foretells the return of the rolling $10 coupon sale. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > Free Epic game is NBA 2K21 which I would have kept a secret too. Next week is another secret but hard to get excited about it following this reveal Hey, that’s not bad for a free game. I’m not a huge fan, but definitely claimed it. It gave me a $10 coupon like you said and I bet it renews if you buy something. That makes Cyberpunk 2077 $37. I found the PC version not too buggy and that is pretty worth it. Easily 35 hours of gameplay, even more if you do a lot more than I did. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Hey, that’s not bad for a free game. I’m not a huge fan, but definitely claimed it. I wouldn’t blame anyone for claiming it. Just felt like a mediocre secret (poor/moderate ratings) after their last secret being GTAV. I see that the sale starts now, actually so grab your $10 coupons and go shopping, Epic shoppers. ---

Stellaris, a Civ-in-Space style strategy game by the makers of Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis, is free to play this weekend on Steam. It’s a lot of fun. You start out on one planet in one star system. You explore, tech, colonize, and fight. You choose the governing ethics of your empire, which has a noticeable impact on a play through. > **[Stellaris is free to try until May 24th!](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/stellaris-is-free-to-try-until-may-24th.1474859/)** > > Stellaris is free to try on Steam until May 24th! > > Explore a galaxy full of wonders, interact with diverse alien species, discover strange new worlds with unexpected events, and expand the reach of your empire.

I seriously doubt I will ever play it in my whole life. I have zero interest. This is probably the game I am least likely to play of any of the games Epic has ever given away (and that’s saying something). I still got it though cuz why not? It just sits in my library taking up no space. ---

Oi, Stellaris is a jewel. I liked a good space-based 4X game, and Stellaris is very that, but making it all realtime (with adjustable timescale) has made it so I can’t go back to turn-based 4X games. I just hated waiting for players agonizing over their turns, or having to wait around while other people are having interminable space combats. The DLCs added to the game have radically changed it over the years, as well. I did not regret my purchase ---

Just saw that, myself. Taking advantage of that, for sure. I find a lot of racing game hit or miss for me, but apparently there are a lot of training wheels options included to make people like me enjoy the game. ---
