Sable is a really cool "small" open world game. Has some challenging parts to it, but overall a really enjoyable experience.
Platforming, a little bit of combat, collectibles, some cute NPC interactions. Not to mention the hover-bike(s).
Lots of exploration, so to really get the best out of it, be prepared to visit every inch of the map.

the only freebie i ever missed since they started that i regretted missing, was subnautica. would love if they gave that away again lol. 100% would play
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know the source of the rumour, but apparently the game on the 27th would be something related to ninjas, do you have any information about that?
if that was really it, think it could be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, aragami 2, mini ninjas, 10 seconds ninjax, some ninja gaiden or dead or alive?

It's EPIC so it will only be games that are EPIC - it won't be a game that's only on Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not uncommon for games that release on Epic, that were released on other platformers on the past, to make their Epic debut by being a freebie. It's happened quite a few times in the past.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, that's Wolfenstein tomorrow. Another repeat. WTF Epic, at least give us the Wolfenstein Collection.

This is the first time I know the next mysterious game before I read the topic here :p
Do you guys know how to check if a game supports achievements on Epic? They added the "Features" tab in every store game page, but it seems to not help. It really baffles me how Epic still miss this basic information. It's not the lack of achievements, but the fact you basically need to buy a game to check if it supports achievements or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
Without checking their own pages on Epic or how many they have when listed in the Epic launcher, I don't know. But there's a Google Document that tracks them, and is usually updated:

Thanks. It looks more complete than the one I used to check,
Comment has been collapsed.
I check browse-filters-features-achievements and enter the game's name in the keywords area.
Neither of the Wolfenstein games has achievements.
Comment has been collapsed.
you basically need to buy a game to check if it supports achievements or not.
No, the games with achievements have their own tab/section on the store, example:
https://store.epicgames.com/achievements/dying-light-2-stay-human
So you only need to search for the game you are interested in.

I hope to see salt and sanctuary again since I missed it last time
Comment has been collapsed.
Wish they released a patch to fix some of the bugs known for years. Freezing on loading, dying takes 1-2min due to a freeze (actually faster to alt F4 and continue sometimes).

Just in the EPIC version? I didn't run into any issues in my playtime on Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's on both versions, you see a lot of complains on steam forum. Seems to be random to get them. Some get it with it on an NVME but not HDD, or vice-versa. Like the Rage 2 hard locking bug where the last mission randomly bugs out and you can't complete the game.

Minor correction:
For the end of the year, Epic will giveaway a game every day from December 15 to Dec 29
The fifteenth and last giveaway will start on December 29 but end on December 30.
The Epic Games Store is officially giving away 15 free games over Christmas (via VGC)
That means, you will need to correct the last item on your table as well. The fifteenth game will also be only available for twenty-four hours. The next game, starting on December 30, will be weekly. Here you can take a look at the dates.
Comment has been collapsed.
That wouldn't make sense though...that would mean that the giveaway would be on Friday weekly (or we would be shortchanged a week)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, then, in that case, yes. I think you are right.
Comment has been collapsed.
I doubt it. The game given away on December 29 will most likely be available for a week (December 29 - January 5).
Then on January 5, which is a Thursday, the weekly cycle would start again. See what happened with the Tomb Raider trilogy.
This would also be consistent with Billbil-kun's post at https://www.dealabs.com/bons-plans/--2470739

Yes, the giveaways always fall on a Thursday, so I believe you are right. Thanks!

Seems like a Lego brick, yeah, but where do you get Batman from?
Comment has been collapsed.
from all the repeats, seems like too early for something new :D
Comment has been collapsed.
LEGO Batman fits the colors the best (grey Batman's suit, yellow game logo, red either the LEGO logo or Robin's suit). And the LEGO Batman Trilogy has been given away before so most likely another repeat.
Comment has been collapsed.
LEGO Batman is on sale.
So maybe LEGO Bricktales or LEGO Builder's Journey...
Comment has been collapsed.
Bricktales has been released too recently that's not possible.
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't matter if a game is or isn't new when it comes to the EGS and the free promo games on it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Lego Bricktales released only two months ago (on all platforms) it wouldn't make any sense to give away your game for free so soon. It think the earliest games have been given away is like a year after release? But don't quote me on that. I think I've only once seen them give away a game when it got released.
Comment has been collapsed.
Epic pays the devs for the free copies, so it doesn't matter how new or old a game is the devs are getting paid.
Comment has been collapsed.
It still doesn't make financial sense for either EPIC (to overpay) or the Publisher (potential loss of buyers/revenue by accepting the deal) to do this for a recently released game. Either way it doesn't happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It would be interesting to see what the smallest time between release and free giveaway is
Comment has been collapsed.
Games not being on sale is no longer an indicator of the game being given away. I believe Horizon Chase Turbo was also on sale before being given away.

That is not relevant anymore:

GG Deals speculates that it's Lego Incredibles tomorrow - time will tell.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, its LEGO Jurassic World, see grey Jurassic logo / coloring on thumbnail at https://store.steampowered.com/app/352400/LEGO_Jurassic_World/
Comment has been collapsed.
Does it even make sense to suggest titles that are not on Epic Games Store (yet)?
Neither Lego Incredibles, Lego Jurassic World nor Lego Lord of the Rings are currently on the Epic Games store.
The only available Lego titles that came up in my search are:
Lego Batman 1-3,
Lego Brick Tales,
Lego Builder's Journey,
Lego Brawls and
Lego Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga.
Given that the hint is a lego brick, my guess would be Brick Tales or Builder's Journey.
But I also wouldn't be surprised if it's Lego Batman due to the grey ribbon.
We'll see tomorrow.

The logo is point to Clear Sky. Metro had different logo
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd say it's likely we'll see some Metro, but not convinced the clue fits Metro branding. That'd be a radiation mask is my guess.
Fall Out also not a good fit, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R bundle seems a bit old. Keep guessing!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah STALKER seems most likely, metro doesn't really feature the radiation sign much from what I remember playing them.
Comment has been collapsed.
since everyone associate it with hazard symbol... what if it's actually a compact disc and not a hazard symbol?
Comment has been collapsed.
My guess would be Fallout 3, despite how relatively recent it was.
Radiation sign, grey ribbon checks out in my books
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I don't think the radiation symbol has been too deeply used in marketing of any Fallout game.

For some reason, I remember Worms (because Worms Armageddon has this same radioactive icon on it's game logo).

Worms Reloaded also has this same radioactive icon in it's game logo...

...but in Epic Store has only Worms Rumble, which don't have anything like this in it's logo

You need to lay down the crazy pills, there is absolutely no hint that it could be a Lego game.

Hooray for Builders Journey! I've collected nearly every Lego game on Steam and Epic gives me one of the few I don't own yet :]

But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Lego game was made.
You need to megazord your games to defeat its Dark Master!

I though the same :)
And what I like about this is that I've read that the controls are not very good so I could not make myself buy this one on steam so getting it for free is really nice

Meh, it happens. I missed Them's Fightin Herds because I have covid and I forgot to check, but I have it on Steam anyway lol. I also missed Filament somehow, and I don't have that on steam but it'll probably get bundled again in the future

True it does... I've missed some others as well but nothing special. Sorry you've missed some too. Even more sorry for that stupid Covid... Hope you get well ASAP!

ya it was free before , you should have an alert everyday at a certain time that says claim todays epic games mystery game so even if you do forget, your phone will remind you. then you can just get it from your phone

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was my first thought looking at the hint. I wonder If they will add the older ones to promote the upcoming one.

NOTE: At the end of this year (2022) I will be passing the torch over to ipax11. Once they have a new thread up and running, I will post a link to it in the top post as well as a comment (They may also post a link as well). This discussion thread will close at the end of this year. It has been a pleasure doing the last two years of Epic freebies with you all!
Here is link to that thread if you want a headstart: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/S4e2c/free-epic-games-store-list-of-all-weekly-free-games-every-thursday-at-11-am-et (will still post today but will close this thread out within the week)
So I'm making the move over to a new thread since the whole table/description was getting unwieldy. If you are looking for the past deals/discussion you can find it here
Here is the store
For the end of the year, Epic will giveaway a game every day from December 15 to Dec 29 (then back to weekly): https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-epic-games-store-will-reportedly-offer-a-free-game-every-day-over-christmas/
NOTE: these games will be claimable for 24 hours ONLY unlike normal freebies that last a week.
NOTE: games update daily at 11 am EST from Dec 15 2022 to Dec 29 2022.
NOTE: deals back to weekly on Dec 29 2022.
