Co-op cooking chaos and a roguelite shooter
Oh hey, it’s your not-quite-weekly-because-I-keep-forgetting-about-it Epic Games Store free game reminder. This week, from June 17–24, 2021, you can getOvercooked 2and the action-platformer shooterHell is Other Demons. (Next week’s lot is pretty solid, too.)
I’m not sure I’ve encounteredHell is Other Demonseven in passing, but it makes a strong first impression with its limited color palette and big beefy boss designs.
As forOvercooked 2, you know how I feel about this series and the impact it has had on chaotic pick-up-and-play co-op games in recent years — grab it if you need it. The free-to-keep Epic Games Store version is only the base PC game, not any of the expansions.
I feel like this has been rumored for a while — or else I truly have lost it — but next week, we’ll be able to claimSonic Maniafor free alongsideHorizon Chase Turbo. That promo will run from June 24 to July 1. Still noSonic Mania 2, huh? That’s a continual letdown.
One of these days, the Epic Store will need to start giving out free time. That’s what we really need.
(Yeah, I used Nintendo-uploaded trailers. They have way better thumbnails.)
