The Epic Games Store free game for the week of February 1 to February 8 is Doors: Paradox. Every Thursday, Epic Games Store users are given a new free game and are clued in on what to expect from the following week.
Currently, the Epic Games Store free game is Infinifactory, which users have until February 1 to add to their digital libraries. Infinifactory earned mixed reviews from critics, but it has enjoyed a significantly more positive reaction from the community. Infinifactory has an «Overwhelmingly Positive» rating on Steam, with many having high praise for the sandbox puzzle game. For those who may be unfamiliar with the game, Infinifactory is about building factories for «alien overlords.» Infinifactory is stuffed with content, and so getting it completely free through the Epic Games Store is definitely a steal.
Infinifactory is free on the Epic Games Store from now until February 1 at 10:00am CT, at which point it will be replaced by the February 1 free game, Doors: Paradox. Available from February 1 to February 8, Doors: Paradox is a puzzle game about interacting with «hand-crafted 3D dioramas» to find clues and «useful objects» to help solve each puzzle. Doors: Paradox is significantly shorter than Infinifactory, but has been well-received by puzzle game fans, with it currently enjoying a «Very Positive» overall rating on Steam.
Between Infinifacatory and Doors: Paradox, it's clear that puzzle game fans have a lot to be excited about when it comes to the latest batch of Epic Games Store freebies. The Epic Games Store free games every year represent a huge range of genres, though, so anyone not interested in puzzle games should be able to find something that fits their interests at some point in the weeks ahead. As for what the future Epic Games Store free games will be, that's really anyone's guess. The Epic Games Store has shown that the free games can be anything from huge AAA blockbusters to obscure indie games, so fans will just have to stay tuned.
