Epic Games Store List (August 2023)
Europa Universalishardly needs any introduction, as it is a grand strategy game where players build an empire and play across four centuries. It’s a great alternative to Civilization, for those who may be unfamiliar, and can be a good test of one’s strategic wit. On the other end of the spectrum, though, isOrwell: Keeping an Eye on You. Not only are these two games tonally different, but they are distinct genre-wise too. It is a narrative game based on Orwellian philosophies and whatnot, dealing with government surveillance. Indeed,Epic Games Store users are in for completely different experiencesthis week and get even more next.
The greatest benefit ofEpic Games Store’s weekly giveawaysthough is how fans can manage expectations. If this week isn’t their cup of tea, they already know what’s coming next week, and if that still doesn’t click, it’s not too long of a wait before the next drop.
Epic Games Storeusers get a handful of games every month.
