Epic Games Store Has Bonus Free Game This Week (And It’s a Fan Favorite)

As a seasoned gamer with decades worth of gaming experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the Epic Games Store‘s free offering this week, Snakebird, is a hidden gem from 2015 that deserves a second look. Back in 2015, we were spoiled with an array of masterpieces, and somehow, this delightful puzzle game slipped through the cracks.


This week on the Epic Games Store, there’s an extra free game in addition to their regular offerings. The game being given away is from 2015, a year that saw the release of some fantastic titles such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Undertale, Helldivers, Ori and the Blind Forest, Until Dawn, Star Wars Battlefront, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and numerous others.

2015 saw a lesser-known gem, Snakebird, by Noumenon Games, which didn’t get as much attention as other games but was equally beloved. If you’re unfamiliar with this game or haven’t given it a try, you can now do so at no cost, thanks to the Epic Games Store and an Amazon Prime subscription.

In November, you can play the game at no cost if you have an Amazon Prime membership. Typically, codes distributed through Prime Gaming are for another digital storefront like GOG, but this time it’s a code that works on the Epic Games Store. As a bonus, Deceive Inc. is also free to download on the Epic Games Store until November 14th.

It’s worth noting that Snakebird is highly popular, demonstrated by its “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam. This top-tier rating comes from an impressive 95% of the 797 user reviews, who have given the game a positive review. For those unfamiliar, an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating is the highest a game can receive on Steam and is quite rare due to its exclusivity.

“What is the longest possible length a bird can be? Obviously a question only all the fruit in the world can answer! But where could all this fruit be hiding? Follow Redbird, Greenbird and Bluebird on a quest for an amount of fruit beyond any birds wildest dreams,” reads an official description of the game for those unfamiliar with it. “Snakebird is a very simple but deceptively challenging puzzle game about assuming the right shapes for the task at hand, be it pushing, lifting, teleporting or just defying the laws of physics.”

Players who decide to try Snakebird now, since it’s free on Epic Games Store via Prime Gaming, might want to be aware that they’re looking at a game that typically lasts between seven to ten hours. The upper end of this duration is indicative not only of finishing the game itself, but also enjoying additional content throughout the gameplay experience.
