Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is free on the Epic Games Store next week

It’s time once again to head over to the Epic Games Store and stock up on some freebies. After all, you deserve a treat for working (or simply enduring) so hard this week!

This week the Epic Games Store is giving away Daemon X Machina, the third-person shooter all about squashing tanks beneath giant mecha boots.

Daemon X Machina  is free on the Epic Games Store from now until Feb. 3, at 8 A.M. PDT / 9 A.M. MDT / 11 A.M. EDT, which gives you a week to download the game  here.

Next week, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair  is up for grabs. If you grew up with 2D side-scrolling platformers, this one is an excellent get, and it’s by the brilliant minds behind Banjo-Kazooie.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair  be available for free on the Epic Games Store from Jan. 4 until Feb. 10, when another mysterious game will replace it.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair  made quite a splash when it came out back in 2019. It’s currently sitting at an impressive  81 on Metacritic, which is particularly noteworthy considering the original Yooka-Laylee was a bit of a dud. It looks like the lizard and bat duo better suits 2D rather than 3D, or maybe it’s just a better game than forbearer. Who knows!
