Free to grab: Surviving Mars at Epic Games Store
Epic Games Store has put on offer Surviving Mars to claim for free this week, taking the place of Minit. Surviving Mars, developed by Haemimont Games and published by Paradox, is a city-building simulation game giving players the task of building a habitable base on the Martian surface. It involves managing resources, constructing habitable domes and buildings within those domes, and looking after the needs of residents living in these confined domes. Haemimont Games originally released the game in 2018 and has previously worked on several city-building titles, including Tropico 3, 4, and 5. If you wish to claim Surviving Mars, here’s its store page. It will be free to claim until October 17, which is when Epic will put on offer '>Observer_' and Alan Wake: American Nightmare for its next giveaway.

Haha, if I could even get their dodgy Epic Launcher to install in the first place, instead of failing and rolling back during the directX part of the install, I may have bothered claiming it, as things stand, i'll not bother.

So many free games. At this rate, my Epic games library will soon rival my Steam library (which I guess is the point).

Not sure what EGS is, but when its UI is active, it eats ~40% of my CPU. When I was clicking this "order", it was using it 100%.
I was checking it in task manager as I have temperature shown on MB and fans started to spin fast.
Closing its window => 0%. Starting it again 40%.
I am adding their nice free games. But outside of adding them, I am not currently using their launcher and do not play those games.

I'm pretty sure EGS is Chromium based as most are now.
So what I should say is this, please don't make this EGS bad launcher, Epic bad reeeeee

Thanks for the heads up HH. Saw this back on Steam around... oh a year or so ago, thought about it but reading the reviews seemed to suggest it was a bit buggy and in need of some patching but you know what free is all kinds of the right price so I am getting this.
