Unveiling Epic Games Store's Spectacular August Line-Up of Free Games!

Highlights

Looking ahead, on August 3, Bloons TD 6 and Loop Hero will take center stage as the next free games. Though providing a smaller scale of entertainment, these titles still offer worthwhile experiences for gamers to enjoy.

The Epic Games Store has consistently offered enjoyable and diverse free games. This week, they have made Homeworld Remastered Collection and Severed Steel available, and announced that next week, players can look forward to playing Bloons TD 6, a tower-defense game, and Loop Hero.

Previously, the Epic Games Store provided players with the opportunity to acquire Elder Scrolls Online and Murder by Numbers, giving them distinct choices. Elder Scrolls Online, being an MMO, offers numerous hours of content for players to enjoy, so hopefully everyone had the chance to obtain it before it was replaced. Unlike the previous offerings, the free games available on the Epic Games Store for July 27 cater specifically to Sci-Fi enthusiasts: Homeworld Remastered Collection and Severed Steel. Homeworld Remastered Collection is an immensely popular RTS game centered around space battles, incorporating various unit types, fleet formations, and flight tactics. On the other hand, Severed Steel is a first-person shooter that takes place in a sci-fi environment, featuring a fluid stunt system, destructible environments, and demanding trigger finger action.

Following this week, Epic Games Store users will have the opportunity to acquire Bloons TD 6 and Loop Hero, with these games remaining free from August 3 until August 10. Bloons TD 6 is an iconic tower defense game that may appeal to niche audiences, with its playful visuals, co-op gameplay, and quirky characters. Players will need to defend against waves of increasingly challenging enemies. Meanwhile, Loop Hero presents a unique loop-based gameplay experience where players must save a world from a lich.

Epic Games Store List (July/August 2023)

Homeworld Remastered Collection (July 27 - August 3)

Severed Steel (July 27 - August 3)

Bloons TD 6 (August 3 - August 10)

Loop Hero (August 3 - August 10)

Bloons and Loop Hero may not meet everyone's expectations, but they serve as a mindless and enjoyable option after playing intense MMOs or RTS games. It's worth noting that Baldur's Gate 3 will also be released on August 3, which could potentially overshadow these games. However, in between playing BG3, indulging in some relaxing gameplay with Loop Hero and Bloons can be a lot of fun.

Overall, the past few weeks on the Epic Games Store have been great. Occasionally, the offerings on the store can be limited or niche, making them only worth checking out because they are free. However, this was not the case with last week's giveaway of Homeworld Remastered Collection and Severed Steel. The ease and popularity of tower defense games also provide a refreshing gaming experience.

Epic Games Store users get a handful of games every month.
