Godfall: Challenger Edition and Prison Architect are currently free on the Epic Store
Thursday is here, meaning a fresh batch of free games to download and keep courtesy of the Epic Games Store, which this week look an awful lot like Prison Architect and Godfall: Challenger Edition. And if that’s somehow not enough to be getting on with, leaks are suggesting Epic will have plenty more freebies to give away over the festive period.
First up though, this week’s offerings, beginning with developer Counterplay Games’ Godfall: Challenger Edition. If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because it’s the same title currently being given away, somewhat controversially, as part of PlayStation Plus.
Godfall: Challenger Edition is a truncated version of the beautiful but ultimately rather hollow action-RPG original, offering up three endgame modes, plus various bits of high-end loot and skill points so players can try out the experience at max level. Players have the option to pay and upgrade to the full game if they’re suitably smitten.
As much as that might sound like a demo on paper, Counterplay recently spoke up to insist otherwise after its addition to PlayStation Plus caused a bit of a stir. It told Eurogamer the Challenger Edition was “not a trial”, but a new cut-price, limited-feature edition which will – after its inclusion as a freebie on PlayStation Plus and the Epic Store – be sold for £11.99/$14.99 USD.
