Anyway, you got the usual 7 days (not including the three or so hours
before these games actually become available) to claim the loot and
perhaps answer the age-old question of "zombies or pirates" Because
this week, why not both?

Well if you have to ask that question the answer is obvious! Zombie pirates!!
Okay, I admit. I'm cheating a little bit with this post. I'm sending
it out early, a few hours before these games are actually available.
But that's only because I won't be able to post them at the correct
time, and if I wait too long Ant will pre-empt me, and THAT CANNOT BE ALLOWED! Hence, the cheating.
Anyway, free games? Yup, free games.
This week we get:
* Dying Light: Enhanced Edition https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dying-light
Zombie games are, arguably, passe but if you gotta pick one to get for
free, "Dying Light" isn't a bad choice. Yes, it's a bit heavy on the open-world aspect - too much grinding for loot and XP - but it has a
big map that's fun to traverse, the combat is fun (at least, it's fun
once you get some of the higher tier skills; it's a bit of a pain in
the start), and the zombies actually feel a bit threatening. Is this
the greatest game ever made? Not even close, but it's still a pretty
good zombie game. That's good enough for me.
* Blazing Sails
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/blazing-sails
Disappointingly, that's "sails" and not "saddles" (although wouldn't a
Mel Brooks inspired western video game be fun?) No, "Blazing Sails" is
all about pirates; it's an online PVP game where you sail the seas in cannon-laden ships, first bombarding other players from afar before
leaping across and engaging them more directly with flintlock and
cutlass. But before you get too excited (assuming the concept excites
you at all), note that the game is still in early access though and
the server population is fairly low, though. Still, if your inner
corsair demands booty and blood, maybe this free game will be
interesting to you.

Unfortunately I can't get this one, it keeps giving me a 500 error.
Maybe if I remember to try again later.
Same here - Blazing Sails is listed as "Coming Soon".
I got the error earlier on - Epics checkout system seemed to be down.
Its working fine now
