Ok, long story short: Epic started with one free game every two weeks, now it seems like they're doing two games every week. Lumped both of them into on thread. Seemed more convenient. I you disagree, just, I don't know, drop me a line or whatnot.
Today, for you:

[HEADING=2]Moonlighter [https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/moonlighter/home] & This War of Mine [https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/this-war-of-mine/home][/HEADING]

Moonlighter and This War of Mine will be free at Epic Games Store until August 2nd. As always, you can get the game through the link above, or straight from the Epic Games launcher. Either way, the game will be added directly to your Epic Games library.

During a long-passed archaeological excavation, a set of Gates were discovered. People quickly realized that these ancient passages lead to different realms and dimensions ? providing brave and reckless adventurers with treasures beyond measure. Rynoka, a small commercial village, was founded near the excavation site providing refuge and a place for adventurers to sell their hard-earned riches.

Moonlighter is an Action RPG with rogue-lite elements following the everyday routines of Will, an adventurous shopkeeper that dreams of becoming a hero.

SHOPKEEPING

While conducting your business in Rynoka village, you can put items on sale, set their price carefully, manage gold reserves, recruit assistants and upgrade the shop. Be careful though ? some shady individuals may want to steal your precious wares!

FIGHT WITH STYLE

Defeat various enemies and bosses, and revel in challenging and deep combat mechanics. Masterful control of your weapons, critical timing, careful positioning, and an understanding of your enemies and environment are crucial to your survival. How you battle your enemies is up to you.

MEET VILLAGERS

Get to know your neighbors as you restore the prosperity of this small commercial hamlet. Help establish new businesses and watch them grow in the idyllic community of Rynoka.

CRAFT AND ENCHANT

Understanding the crafting and enchanting system is essential for your progression. Interact with the villagers to craft new armor and weapons, and enchant existing equipment. This creates a great deal of flexibility and spices up the way equipment is used.

GET THE LOOT

Access strange worlds through otherworldly gates and collect valuable items from exotic civilizations: resources, weapons, armors and peculiar artifacts. Hoarding everything won't be possible - use the unique inventory system wisely to take the most profitable loot with you.

BEFRIEND COMPANIONS

Gates lead to different worlds. Each run is unique and forces you to make smart and calculated decisions. You never know what you will encounter next ? that?s why you must be prepared for everything.
In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.

The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.

This War of Mine: Anniversary Edition

It's been two years since This War of Mine global release and we're still expanding the experience. This new free DLC, created especially for the Anniversary Edition, adds new characters, new locations to explore, and most importantly - a whole new ending, leading to a different outcome to the game. The dilemma though remains the same ? how far will you go, to protect the ones you care about?

Have a look if interested and enjoy.

The next duo of freebies from Epic will be Alan Wake and For Honor, starting August 2nd.

This war of mine is really cool, but it has such awful control that it's kinda infuriating whenever you have to do something quickly (say because you're looting in an area full of hostile). I guess part of it might be the idea that your playing as civilian so it's normal they don't do that well, but it's incredibly annoying to get killed because your character can't figure out how to open a door.

Moonlighter is alright, but it can get a bit grindy, especially when you are after certain crafting bits to upgrade your gear so you don't get your ass handed to you in the dungeons to get those crafting elements. The shop keeping part is fun, but really easy once you figure out what people want to pay for things. And dealing with thieves, of which you will have about three each day gets annoying after a while.
