Epic Game Store users can now claim the free game for October 5, while the service has confirmed what will follow it on October 12: Blazing Sails and Q.U.B.E. Ultimate Bundle. Every week, the Epic Games Store selection rotates every Thursday at 10 am CT. This pattern is helpful in many ways, as now users can claim Godlike Burger and know what to expect come Thursday, October 12.
With a handful of reviews on aggregate site OpenCritic ranging from 3.5/10 to 7.6/10, it's clear that the Epic Games Store free game for October 5, Godlike Burger, is a bit of an acquired taste. It's a restaurant management game, which is a rather common genre, but where it stands out is with its big twist. Not only do players serve food to aliens, but they in turn kill their customers for food. That makes it stand out, for sure, but it's still a restaurant management game at its core. Of course, those who aren't into it only have a week to wait for the next title.
New Zombie Survival Game Confirms October Release Date
A trailer announcing the release date for zombie survival title Undying promises players a story filled with emotion and tension.
Blazing Sails may not be a name many Epic Games Store users are familiar with, but it is a fast-paced PvP Pirate game. It features different game modes such as Treasure Hunt, a Battle Royale on dry land and with ships, and Galleon Conquest mode featuring broadside battles, maintain a ship (of the player's choosing), find legendary loot (or ridiculous loot, in case of the fish launcher), and customize everything about the players' pirates. For those wanting a fun pirate game, Blazing Sails might just be it.
Epic Games Store Free Game List (October 5-October 19)
- Godlike Burger (October 5-October 12)
- Blazing Sails (October 12-October 19)
- Q.U.B.E. Ultimate Bundle (October 12-October 19)
Q.U.B.E. Ultimate Bundle comes complete with two games itself, bringing the total of free games fans can technically claim this week to three. Players have to claim the entire bundle, but in it, they get Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary and Q.U.B.E. 2. The former is a ground-up remake that brings its visuals, gameplay sections, and puzzles into a more modern style, while the second is obviously a sequel. However, those who claim this Ultimate Bundle will also get the Season Pass (which features two more puzzle packs, the OST, and a Glove Skin) for Q.U.B.E. 2.
It's a pretty strong selection for October 12 on the Epic Games Store, and there are plenty of things to do between all the possible games on the store. They may not be the absolutely best games on the Epic Games Store, but they are more than a good choice for free titles.
Epic Games Store users get a free game or two every week.
