Here's your Epic Games Store freebies of the week

Every week, the Epic Games Store features a couple of games that are free to keep as long as you have an account with the digital storefront. They're not your run-of-the-mill generic video games slapped haphazardly together just so the developer can generate a quick buck. These are substantial gameplay titles from major and independent studios.

This week's titles are two at the opposite ends of the spectrum. If you're into action, Remnant: From the Ashes is your jam. For a quieter, calmer experience, there's The Alto Collection.

Remnant: From the Ashes

From the developer: Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you’ll set out alone or alongside up to two other players to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and then retake what was lost.

The Alto Collection

From the developer: Join Alto and friends as they set out on the adventure of a lifetime. Race down alpine slopes, over windswept dunes, through ancient woodlands and the long forgotten ruins of both critically acclaimed titles: Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey. Along the way you’ll pull off daring backflips, grind over rooftops and leap over vast chasms as you journey to discover what mysteries lie beyond the horizon.

These two games are free until August 20, 2020. Get them here now.
