Dying Light Enhanced Edition Is Free On Epic

Monday, April’s Prime offerings were unveiled with the first available now, EVO Japan had some announcements, and Evil Dead: The Game is set to release on Steam. Tuesday, nothing happened but I wrote an angry editorial that was released Wednesday about WWE’s latest self-inflicted shotgun wound. Wednesday, the first of the Game Pass offerings of the month were revealed, and more characterless tripe hit Video Horror Society. Thursday, Taylor noted that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are coming to other consoles very soon.

Let’s get the Epic Games Store business out of the way, as the previously announced Blazing Sails isn’t what’s on offer this week, instead, it is something called Shapez. A factory building-automation title that both looks good and is reviewed well, but the Steam and Epic descriptions decided to quote Notch, someone who couldn’t work out how to optimize his own game. A simple top-down resource puzzle game, possibly available to get everyone interested in Shapez 2, a 3D take on this factory building idea. I have to find some time for this one and hate myself for it.

Swifty moving on to the highlight, Dying Light Enhanced Edition is also available and I don’t think I need to sell this one. 2015’s zombie/crying on top of an ambulance game, my initial experience with Dying Light cannot be explained as negative or entirely positive. Now it and its sequel are two open-world highlights of mine, Dying Light (1) being many people’s dark horse highlight of 2015. An absolute treat to kick off Epic’s Spring sale with a little bit of style, as you spend the next few days parkouring across eastern European/Arab rooftops and drop-kicking zombies.

All this week you can pick up Dying Light Enhanced Edition and Shapez on the Epic Games Store until the morning of the 13th of April. The aforementioned sale of course means you’ll see a number of titles on Epic with discounts, the highest discounts next week will be for the early access multiplayer repeat of a dino-murder-crisis in Second Extinction. Though for those of us who already own the Left 4 Dead Dinos expansion, there is the Chivalry-like of Murdhau coming to Epic almost four years following its original release. I’m sure I, someone who hates people, won’t say anything bad about the multiplayer focus next week.
