Have you done everything you can in No Man's Sky? Then this week's Epic Games free games deal is definitely worth taking advantage of. From Thursday October 10 to Thursday October 17, you can collect Empyrion – Galactic Survival for free on the Epic Games Store, which will allow you to keep it forever. This underrated space sandbox adventure has drawn comparisons to No Man's Sky – with some even preferring Eleon Game Studios' offering over Hello Games' due to the sheer amount of content available.
Empyrion – Galactic Survival allows you to truly experience your own space adventure. No matter how customized your ship is, you can build colonies, starships, and sprawling space stations with precision, altering the planetary terrain to suit your needs. When you don't build in there space gameyou can hunt down resources to survive and… well… build more! There's a huge galaxy to explore, with a vast array of planets, moons and star systems to study.
However, not everything is friendly on these planets, so you must keep your cool, as there are a variety of alien life forms ready to prey on bright-eyed adventurers.
If that scares you, you'll be happy to know that you can team up with friends. Whether you choose to be silent, troublesome colony builders, or rage-filled looters is up to you – and probably whether you had coffee this morning.
If Empyrion – Galactic Survival doesn't sound like you, two other games offered this week are on opposite ends of the stress spectrum. On the one hand we have Bear and Breakfast, a cozy sim in which you play as a bear who runs a B&B in the woods. What could go wrong? If you're looking for something more intense (and scary), Outliver: Tribulation is also free this week. In this “African mythology meets survival horror meets soul,” you play as a soldier on the run, who finds herself in a supernatural realm where she must undergo a ritual to escape.
It's worth grabbing all these games while they're free. Even if you don't think they're for you, you shouldn't sniff at a free game to help beef up your library. Just make sure you act quickly! All three games are only free from Thursday October 10 to Thursday October 17. You can catch them here.
