You mean Remnant: From The Ashes? It's been free before but that was last August and they've done repeats during the holiday marathons before.
The prequel (Chronos: Before The Ashes) might be a possibility as well.
Yeah I thought that I got Remnant free from Epic before. Hoping for the prequel.
Chronos is paced a lot differently than Remnant, it's more along the lines of something like Ashen, but it has much easier combat and flow than your average soulslike - not bad, just not that taxing. It's got some neat puzzle designs and there's a good amount in regards to world details to chew on too, if you're into Remnant's lore.

weird lantern clue for tomorrow's game
..until I find a better one.
I mean so is the tentacle design for Remnant, and even the cake for Whatsitsface before. If you have a better lantern-related cover, I'm all ears, but at least I couldn't find one (lanterns in both Amnesias are even more different).
it does look like the evil within lantern. aren't they owned by xbox now? they'll give away games on epic? idk
Considering the games have been games already available on the store, It's probably an Amnesia title (Dark Descent or Rebirth)
Evil Within and Call of Cthulu are not titles on the storefront.

Bethesda gave away Rage 2 on epic last year.

Already have Remnant, maybe I should give it a shot.
Lol you stop it!
Shadow drop.
Lol you stop it!
It's kind of like destiny and Demon Souls had a baby i guess. It leans more on the Destiny side though
As something who's played them both extensively. I don't get what's so Destiny like in the game.
It's a Souls like with the exact same structure and progression system, in a semi randomly generated map.
The shooting and movement were actually quite unique and the only other game that compares to it in shooting and movement is Outriders. But that came out much later and it's only the shooting where they are similar, the rest is so different inntermsmif game design and structure as Outriders shares that with something like Borderlands.
Lantern? Surprise green lantern game
weird lantern clue for tomorrow's game
I mainly make the association because of how weapons and equipment have gear scores and there's a larger focus on unique loot than in a Souls game (maybe outside of something like Nioh) but sure combat and item usage is very souls like in timing rolls and min/maxing health flasks, but the gun play and loot IMO link it more closely to destiny with some souls like game mechanics.
I don't think it's a wrong assessment of the game to pair the two.
I'll wait for the giveaways to end before I buy something because the way I'm unlucky, I'll probably buy something that will be given for free two days later.
It has some Soulsy stuff going on, but it's a third person shooter, the levels are procedurally generated (and you only get half of them per playthrough, to encourage NG+ runs), and the enemy placements change every time you die so you can't learn the level like you can in a normal Soulslike. Also the boss fights have a lot more adds than a "real" Souls game.
I remember those were what struck me as the biggest deviations from the normal Souls formula. It's fun for what it is, but it does make the game feel a lot more chaotic than I was expecting from the more methodical Soulslike experience I'm used to.
Remnant is a tighter and better game than Outriders IMO. It's much less of Destiny and more Gears of War souls. Great boss fights also.
Hope it's something that hasn't already been given away, or appeared in bundles.
Hoping to score something new.
You better like boss fights with constant minion adds because my God, does Remnant use those as a crutch.
I like it because it's the rare shootbang Souls-ish game, but damn I just want to 1v1 a boss sometimes.
Another possibility is Mundaun. The lantern isn't like that in game, but you do carry a lantern around a lot I think (and a guy holding a lantern is part of the cover art). Came out at the beginning of this year, and hasn't been given away yet.
Yeah, I was like dang it, that's disappointing, but then I thought oh well it's free games, who cares. Also people who missed out on it before can get it now, so that's cool. They did this last year too so it's expected.
Also I like the surprise aspect, last year got spoiled by the list being leaked, but this time they seem to be keeping it under wrap (pun intended).
I don't think you use a lantern at all in Alan Wake, at least not that I remember.
I remember getting the Remnant for free. Played the entire campaign with my friends and in the end, we were like........
"so... what's the story about?". Lmao
"so... what's the story about?". Lmao
I had no idea Chronos was set in the same universe as Remnant. That's awesome. I'll have to add it to my wishlist. I played Remnant with 2 friends and we had an awesome time.
Outward's another possibility, although the lantern style doesn't seem to match up.
On a side note the entire mobile site is still in German for me. It never switched back.

I picked it up because it's free but I gotta say, none of this sounds appealing lol
