New Epic Games Store Free Game Is One of Its Highest-Rated Games of 2025

by

Hey there, fellow gamers! Exciting news from the Epic Games Store this week – they’re giving away not one, but two free games for PC users! One of these games is even among their highest-rated releases this year. But remember, this offer won’t last long. You’ve got until September 4th to grab ’em before they’re replaced with new titles. Once claimed though, these games are yours forever – no subscriptions needed! Unlike some other platforms like Prime Gaming for PC or Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus on consoles, where you have to keep the subscription active to enjoy free games. So, let’s not miss out on this awesome opportunity!

This week, the two free games available on Epic Games Store are “Machinarium” and “Make Way”. The first one, released in 2009 by Amanita Design, a studio based in the Czech Republic, was initially exclusive to PlayStation consoles until it came to Nintendo Switch in 2018. Known for its high quality, it has an impressive 88 score on Metacritic and a 96% approval rating on Steam, making it one of the highest-rated games given away on Epic Games Store this year. On the other hand, “Make Way”, released in 2023 by developer Ice Beam and publisher Secret Mode, might not be as well-known as its free game counterpart, but it still has a commendable 83 score on Metacritic and a 93% approval rating on Steam.

Machinarium

Machinarium is an acclaimed action-adventure game that follows Josef, a robot on a mission to rescue his girlfriend Berta from the Black Cap Brotherhood gang. On your journey to accomplish this task, you’ll encounter various logical challenges, traditional adventure quests, mental exercises, and occasionally mini-games. If you’re a fan of classic adventure games, this is one of the finest modern interpretations available. However, if you find these types of games challenging or difficult to grasp, it may not win you over. Luckily, you can try it out for free instead of spending $19.99 on it.

Make Way

Make Way is an old-school style multiplayer racing game on PC that emphasizes fun over high-end graphics and realism. It stands out because players can not only race but also equip weapons for added chaos. While the racing might not be its strongest point compared to other games, it shines for those who enjoy designing their own tracks and competing on them. Typically, it retails for $14.99.

Last week, less-known titles were offered for free on Epic Games Store. However, this week’s selection of games is more noteworthy. For those who aren’t captivated by either game on Epic Games Store, Steam has an alternative free game available until tomorrow.
