Saints Row IV: Re-elected is this week's big Epic freebie. They're also starting some holiday Mystery Game drops, first one in 6 hours (8pm PDT/11pm EDT).
I couldn't find it on iOS when I searched the app store but it was like the 20th game down the list 
And Ghost of a Tale is a really good one, too. It’s one of those games that feels like living in a really well-conceived fantasy novel. It definitely receives The Seal of Owl-proval, whatever that’s worth.

Sable is today's Epic free holiday game, so that's actually a good one.
I got this in the last Steam sale. You're welcome!
Uh. Death Stranding Director's Cut is free today at the Epic store.
Another point scored for procrastination.

It's a Christmas tradition!

It really is the season for celebrating a special baby, rising from the dead, and traveling around delivering gifts.

Looks like they also messed up what version they were giving away originally. When I first looked it was the director's cut, and now it's the standard edition
I've been trying off and on all day to get the game and it still hasn't gone through... Guess I won't be finding out what Death Stranding is about.
Did you check your library? I thought it didn't go through, but it was there, even though I didn't get the usual confirmation e-mail receipt.
If not, I had more luck with the webpage than the app, on the off chance you've only tried one or the other.

Yeah, same issues here, although when I tried to redeem it again it did give me the error that I already owned it and it was still processing which I figure is a good sign. I probably have a huge Epic library at this point but don't actually have the Epic launcher installed on anything, ha. Just have it all logged in Backloggery marked with null status until I actually try to play these.
I checked this morning and I never got it.
Oh well. I'm not playing the games I already have and want so no big loss on this. Though I am sure a lot of other people are right annoyed by it.

Nice!
One of the Epic free games this week is Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna). I've watched my kids play this on PSN, and it's a nice side scroller in the vein of Limbo/Inside, but has some optional co-op features ala Lost Vikings. This one's based on Iñupiat (used to be called Alaskan Inuit) myths and legends, and the special features includes a mini documentary about the people and culture.

Oh yeah, I have this on Steam and definitely recommend both the game and the documentary.

In addition to Never Alone, Epic also has another one of their games called Beyond Blue for free. Haven't played that one but since I liked Never Alone plan to check it out.

So many of the free games I get fall into the "This is for Future John" category. This sale does have the Director's Cut DLC half off at $5. I can't speak to if it's worth that since I haven't played the game, though.
