Whoa there, Horizon Chase isn’t “what if Outrun but bad”, it’s “what if Top Gear but in 3D and actually it’s pretty decent”.

Looks like I shouldn't judge a game by its screenshots alone!
If you have Battlefield 4 on Origin, there's an expansion pack for it that's currently free.
Like John mentioned earlier, Epic Store's got Horizon Chase Turbo and Sonic Mania for free at this point too.

French touch? Ooh la la!
I remember really enjoying them when I first played them.

Obduction and Offworld Trading Company are this week's Epic Free Games. I really enjoyed Obduction, but I was predisposed to that genre, since Myst hit me hard as a 13 year old with a new Macintosh that had an ultra fast 4X CD-ROM built in. I've never tried Offworld Trading Company, but I remember Idle Thumbs talking about it, and I think they were positive on it.
I went to claim Offworld Trading Company, but then I saw that it had been published by Stardock, which is still being run by noted GooberGrumper Brad Wardell. So, no thanks.
They already got Epic's money, you might as well get the game.
This Week on Epic Store: Verdun, a WWI shootmans, and Defense Grid: The Awakening, a future-y tower defense.

More Epic stuff, this time A Plague Tale: Innocence and Minit.
I've played Minit, and it's awesome. Black & white fetch quest style adventure game, but you only have a minute to play before the game resets. It keeps some of your progress each time though. Just get it and play it.
I don't know anything about A Plague Tale except for clicking through the promo movies on the store with the sound off. It looks sad, bloody, and there's Sean Bean. There was rats in one scene and a little kid giving you a flower in another, so they have both kinds of music. It had a bunch of accolades too, so people liked it.

GOG has Ultima Underworld 1&2, Syndicate Plus, and Syndicate Wars for free now as well.
I do remember a different game being advertised earlier on Epic, weird. Must've been some type of contract thing.

This is very likely a byproduct of me buying them back when they were going to be deliested.
You're welcome.

I cuss you bad
I think GOG will refund you for that...
Uh, apparently I can? Dunno if it’s worth to get those €3.5 back in wallet funds, though.

Hey, I just noticed that Digipen Institute of Technology has been uploading their student projects on Steam for at least a few years now, all of which are free. I’m pretty sure they were normally available elsewhere before, but this makes finding, downloading, and setting up custom control configurations for them much easier.
Epic Store's freebie of the week is Rebel Galaxy with Void Bastards & Yooka-Laylee on deck for next week.
And an update:
These three are free now, 'til September 3rd. Redeem here.

Nioh: Complete is one of the free Epic games this week.
Also, in case you haven't checked GOG's list of free games, they have some good ones, including Samorost 1, some Ultimas and the precurser Akalabeth, and if you want some 90's eXtreme racism and bad humor, Postal and Shadow Warrior.

Well, I guess if you want games from THQ Nordic but don't want to give them any of your money then you could get the following ones that are free on Steam for the next week:

Save 75% on Titan Quest Anniversary Edition on Steam

Save 75% on Jagged Alliance 1: Gold Edition on Steam
Experience a true classic! This Gold edition includes the original Jagged Alliance plus the add-on Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games. Take a trip into retro land and learn why this is considered to be one the best turn-based games of all times.
hexceed is a neat puzzle game based on Minesweeper (just not random and with a hex grid and some other tricks) that's free even on Switch. It does have paid DLC level packs, but the base game already has a ton of levels and the DLC also seems pretty reasonably priced if you end up wanting more.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is free on Steam
