XCOM 2 is Now Free on The Epic Games Store

XCOM 2 is Now Free on The Epic Games Store (How to download and play) for free, In a nutshell, the Epic Games Store’s newest free game demands that you stop what you’re doing and download it right now—assuming it’s not already in your collection.

The still-amazing X-COM 2 has been added to Epic’s extensive collection of excellent offerings. For the next week, you can download it for free and keep it for as long as you like.

Firaxis’ 2016 release (download here) is widely regarded as one of the best turn-based tactics games ever created. XCOM 2 builds on the success of 2012’s XCOM:

Enemy Unknown was itself a relaunch of the classic XCOM games from the 1990s and early 2000s. You get to assemble a team to combat the alien threat, name them after your friends, and grimace or chuckle as digital versions of people you like/secretly detest are slain once more.

The main drawback is that it excludes the fantastic War of the Chosen addition, which adds a whole new dimension to the game.

The good news is that the XCOM 2 Collection Upgrade is available for a whopping 80% discount. For $9.99, you can get the War of the Chosen expansion as well as four DLC packs

(Resistance Warrior Pack, Anarchy’s Children, Alien Hunters, and Shen’s Last Gift), giving you enough to do once you’ve finished the free base game.

Insurmountable, a roguelike game about mountaineering, joins XCOM 2 as the second gift. It has a pretty positive rating on Steam, albeit from just over 300 reviewers, so it’s worth a look, especially since it’s free.
