The Operator holds a "Strong" rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 78 and approximately two out of three critics recommending it. It also boasts "Very Positive" player reviews on Steam, based on over 6,000 user impressions. As such, it's one of the highest-rated interactive investigation experiences in recent memory and likely to appeal to fans of detective games and realistic crime-solving. Dystopian thriller aficionados may also be interested in The Operator, not just due to its setting, but also on account of its overarching narrative, which involves everything from hackers and high-level conspiracies to themes of government oppression.
During the week-long wait for The Operator, Epic Games Store users can claim Two Point Hospital, which became available for free on June 12. The quirky management sim from Two Point Studios lets players run a high-tech hospital and treat bizarre illnesses—or watch their healthcare empire literally burn to the ground, depending on their performance. Two Point Hospital holds over 25,000 "Very Positive" Steam user reviews, as well as an 84 average score on OpenCritic.
The ongoing promotion marks the first time in weeks that the Epic Games Store is offering only one free game at a time. Barring any surprises, this trend is expected to continue for at least another week with The Operator.
