Epic Games Store Reveals Two Free Games for March 21

14.03.2024 - 15:47 / gamerant.com / Joshua Duckworth

The Epic Games Store and many of its users love Thursdays, as it's when one or more free games rotate in and the current selection rotates out. Astro Duel 2 exits the storefront's free game selection today, with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and The Bridge being free on the Epic Games Store for the next week. Come 10 am CT on March 21, they will rotate out for Call of The Wild: The Angler andInvincible Presents: Atom Eve.

Both of these titles are solid additions to the Epic Games Store free game selection. Deus Ex hardly needs any introduction, as it is a beloved cyberpunk stealth-focused RPG with first-person shooter elements to boot. Its Cyberpunk dystopia, as they often are, is filled with seed organizations like the Illuminati that players must face with various augmentations and cybernetic enhancements as they proceed throughout the game. If there's been a must-have on the EGS free selection before, it's this one. Meanwhile, The Bridge bills itself as an «Isaac Newton meets M.C. Escher» logic puzzle game based on the ideas of physics and perspective, making it an interesting pairing since both games deal with preconceptions.

If neither of those is to someone's liking, two more free games are coming the week of March 21-March 28, but it's worth noting that both are more niche. Fishing is a popular mechanic in RPGs, but as a whole game, it will appeal to a more niche audience. That said, Call of the Wild: The Angler is a solid fishing game and a more open experience than most. Players, with friends in co-op, can find their perfect fishing spot in the game and, across all its waterways, catch a variety of fishing. Its customization is top-notch too, with everything from rods and reels to hooks and bait being customizable. Players can even customize their angler too.

The world of comics and video games go hand in hand, and Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is a solid marriage of those. However, it is a visual novel which may limit its appeal. Still, just as The Angler is good for fishing fans, Atom Eve is a good game for comic and visual novel fans. The game received solid reviews at launch, and players can customize Eve's powers, make important decisions in a branch narrative (with timed dialogue), and still feature some turn-based combat. Overall, it's a solid addition to the service.

If someone doesn't find themselves in the fishing or comic/visual novel camp, then the good news is that it's just a week's wait. Epic Games Store will rotate these games in on March 21 and reveal what's coming on March 28 at that time, too.
