What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
I hated all the text box shaking and scene flashing in murder by numbers. It gave me a migraine.

Free epic games I've beaten are Metro 2033, Metro Lastlight, Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Control, Prey and Evoland Legendary Edition. I think that's all that I've beaten, played a few more. Have around 160 games total in the library and have only ever bought one from them. That was Metro Exodus gold edition, which cost $5.70.

I'm an abomination.

There are a few games I got for free on epic after having beaten them on other platforms.

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
I "beat" Conarium (walked in a straight line from one end of the game to the other) and my son played enough of the Lego Batman games that I'll consider them beaten. He sure as hell beat the drat controller!

Which game? Genuinely curious which one was interesting enough to start playing, and then keep playing until the end.

Paradigm. I thought a puzzle might require translating Cyrillic letters to English and there was a keyboard with keys labeled in both languages in another room.

i got pretty far in murder by numbers until i realized i absolutely hated the writing so i just found one of the many regular picross games instead.

I got Murder by Numbers in a bundle and was like "wow this is so loving stupid I absolutely need to see where it goes" then it ended up being way WAY longer than I bargained on and I got tired of doing picross so I never found out

and now enough time passed that I don't remember what was happening to pick it back up argh

At least I don't dance with them, right?
I'm about 3/4 of the way through Murder By Numbers, and the worst thing I can say about it is that it took them until the third of four cases to write a shallow but entertaining mystery where everyone involved wasn't weirdly annoying.

So much good and awesome in that game, and so much stuff that drives me bonkers. One of the first (if not THE first) attempt of an Indy developer to make a Metroidvania though.

the cave story music occupies the same space in my head that classic mario and SNES music does. incredible game.

also, every video game should have at least one highly unintuitive path that leads to descending into hell and fighting the great evil that has secretly been the prime mover of the plot this whole time

Warsaw Rising is free on Steam.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1026420/WARSAW_RISING_City_of_Heroes/

It's Darkest Dungeon but WW2 Polish resistance, somehow. There's also some drama in the reviews, like the Devs removed strategy part and left just the cutscenes before making it free?.. I don't know.

It used to be sort of an Xcom light campaign game. But its a game about the Warsaw Uprising so no matter how well you did you could only lose slower. It makes a lot of sense to me to just cut that layer out and have the missions happen sequentially. But I haven't played the new version.

According to some of the reviews its now just a visual novel.
But you can go back and play it if you switch it to beta or a previous version.

I can tune a fish.
It's got some HOG and puzzle elements, but at its heart it's actually a pretty unique casual progression game. Sort of like Anno-esque supply chain stuff but super pared down and done manually and with no real failure state.

Note that you will probably want to go to your account settings after claiming this one - gog used to simply sign you up for their newsletter when you claimed free poo poo, now it also signs you up for their affiliates.

that has literally been the central point of gog's free games giveaways since day 1
from the very first one it has always signed you up for marketing emails

i've been going to the settings and re-unsubscribing after claiming the free game every time.
