This fucking game. I wanted to love it so much, but so many game-killing bugs wrecked it for me.
The style, the atmosphere, the lore, the whole chilled out vibe, everything just appealed.
Then bug after bug, some which hard-locked save games, just ruined it for me.
Shedworks, the developer, appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, and we got one or two patches immediately after launch that fixed some performance issues, but there was so much more to fix.
On the other: It’s free. When did everyone start bitching even about the free games? Claiming all the free games and never actually using the store, if anything, hurts Epic. You don’t even have to use EGS to download them! You can use a 3rd party app like Heroic.
Don’t bother trying to understand it. They’ll tell you it’s because Epic is “anti-consumer”, while ignoring anything Valve does that’s shitty. The same people will post in other threads how there’s “no good billionaires”, then come to this community and post shit like “all hail our savior, Lord GabeN”.
In truth, it boils down mostly to them seeing PC gaming as Valve’s fiefdom, and Epic is aggressively trying to force their way into the market, which upsets them. The fact they feel comfortable putting all of PC gaming into the hands of a single mega corporation is insane, because when Valve inevitably goes under, we’re going to lose a lot of gaming history all at once. Not to mention, it was Steam that was responsible for the advent of not owning the games you buy, something I consider to be one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming.

Hate to break it to you, but you didn’t own your games even when they were still sold physically. The standard liscence agreement for software as we know it today started in the 80’s, and it was mostly because of Microsoft.
Valve is, however, responsible for lootboxes which first saw action in TF2.
To celebrate, we’re launching the free games program on mobile, kicking off with Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee* and Bloons TD 6, available now on Android and iOS through the Epic Games Store mobile app until February 20
