Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition next next.
As if your Epic Games Store library is still not enough with free games, you may finally one day have time to play, and there are now two more who give permission to join the tiger stack, this time the form of Metro: Last Light Redux and for the King.
Metro: Last Light Redux, released in 2014, is the second game in the award-winning FPS series from developer 4A Games set in post-apocalyptic Russia from the novels of author Dmitry Glukhovsky. Or, more specifically, this is the second attempt by 4A Games to make that sequel, which has thoroughly redesigned the studio’s original 2013 effort with a series of welcome visuals and game adaptations.

For the King, meanwhile, it’s a very enjoyable, optionally rogue adventure that successfully combines a host of well-known RPG stables – dungeon crawling, quest, turn-based exploration and combat, booty acquisition, and more – with the lucky-founding board game design Arkham Horror.
There is a day-and-night cycle that influences card encounters, procedural elements, and all sorts of attractive story vignettes – ranging from adventures in ghostly carnivals to battles in crack-contaminated waters – that help the adventure feel adequate on every run. But if that’s still not enough to satisfy you, For the King will launch its first paid DLC expansion – the jungle-themed Lost Civilization – on February 10th.

You can add For the King and Metro: Last Light Redux to your Epic Store library from today until next Thursday, February 11th – at that point, the tactical space adventure Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition will take its place as the latest weekly freelancer .
