Epic Games Store MEGA Sale

There's a new Epic Games Store MEGA sale live now, featuring discounts for lots of fun PC games. First things first, though: alongside the discounts, Epic is also bringing back the sale's trademark freebies, starting with the psychedelic indie horror game Happy Game and with Dead Island 2, both of which can be added to your libraries for free until Thursday, May 22 at 5 PM.

Dead Island 2 is, of course, the bigger of the two offerings, having sold 4 million units to date. The project started with Yager Development and then moved to Sumo Digital, but it was Deep Silver Dambuster that eventually brought it over the end of the line in a rather successful fashion. On Wccftech, the game earned a 7.5/10 score from Francesco De Meo:

Games that go through development hell hardly turn out great, but Dambuster Studio proved with Dead Island 2 that this is not always the case, although the game is far from a masterpiece. While the gameplay works and feels quite fun at the start of the game, things become repetitive very quickly due to the linearity of the experience and the shallowness of the combat system. Offering nothing more than some mindless fun, the game would have been more than fine if launched at a lower price, but at full price, Dead Island 2 doesn't offer that much to justify it.

If you don't fancy these games, there's plenty of engaging titles that you can grab at discounts in the Epic Games Store 2025 MEGA sale, and you can even take advantage of boosted Epic Rewards (from 5% to 20%) for all purchases made in the store using Epic's payment system until 31 August. Additionally, when using Epic's payment system, you can get 20% back permanently on Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys purchases.
