TheEpic Games Store free mystery game giveaway’s final gameisMarvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, up for grabs until Thursday, January 11 at 10am CST. While most of the Epic Games Store free mystery games were given away on a daily basis, the first free mystery game,Destiny 2: Legacy Collection, and the last free mystery game, the previously mentionedGuardians of the Galaxy, were made available for a week instead of a one day.

When it’s not doing its free mystery game giveaways, the Epic Games Store gives its users advanced notice about what free games they can look forward to from one week to the next, meaning that comeSail Forthbeing free on January 11, fans will know for sure what they will get on January 18.

Epic Games Store Free Games for January 2024
Loveis an indie platformer with a retro art style that was first released in 2014.Loveearned mixed to negative reviews from critics, with most letdown by its extremely short length. It does have a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, however.According to How Long to Beat, a single playthrough ofLovecan be completed in just 34 minutes. Those going for 100% completion will be looking at 10.5 hours according to the data collected by the same site, but that’s still not all that long.Lovedoes have a level editor for added replay value, though, and its short length would really only be a detriment to those that paid money for the game. Since it’s free, perhaps Epic Games Store users will be more forgiving towardsLoveand be able to see it in a different light.
Of course, this is assuming thatLoveis indeed the Epic Games Store free game for January 18 to January 25. While billbil-kun has proven extremely reliable in the past, they themselves admit that they are only 80% certain thatLovewill be the free game that week, so fans should keep their expectations in check. It’s relatively common for theEpic Games Store free games to leakahead of time, but plans could change.
