It's never been cheap enough to get me to put the trigger since despite hearing great things it's not exactly the kind of game I personally enjoy playing.

But free? gently caress it why not

I got it for 7 bucks and ended up putting over a hundred hours in it.

It's good and ~~worth it for the price~~ free.

Subnautica is wierd because you would think it's gimmik is being underwater. It is not. The gimmick is having a map that has actual level design and guided progression which sets it above other survival games

Only if you get selected for the beta.

So it's not actually just plain free and it's a luck of the draw so don't worry about it.

Free game news:

GOG are giving away Great Game SOMA. It's under 5 bucks in the sale, sure, but free is free. Horror games are often too much for me, but I played through with the baby wuss mod and thought it was top notch.

They've reset my password twice because of suspicious logins on my Epic games account. I only made the account for free Subnautica which I doubt I'd get around to playing any time soon, so I don't think I'm going to bother with their service unless they start giving away games that normally cost a lot more.

I had the same thing happen after getting an account to play UT. Never installed it, didn't have any games on my account, but it somehow kept getting hijacked. I just assumed it had something to do with lovely fortnite players/cheaters.

The next free game on the Epic Store is Jackbox Party Park #1, which is pretty good, if typically on deep discount anyway.
