Epic Games Store is the newest and fiercest competitor for the popular Steam platform of Valve. Epic Games Store has already established many exclusive partnerships with games studios and publishers, about which we’ll discuss later. Now, Axiom Verge is the new free PC game offered by Epic Games Store.
About Axiom Verge, the Free PC Game Offered by Epic Games Store
Axiom Verge rolled out in 2015, and it became popular thanks to its gripping science fiction storyline and Metroidvania-inspired mechanics.
“Axiom Verge is a game that’s easy to fall in love with because it hits so many high notes. It takes the Metroidvania model and adds layers of ingenuity that are in a league all of their own, the most notable being the Address Disruptor,” said Peter Brown of GameSpot in his review on Axiom Verge.
“The chilling sci-fi setting, mysterious plot, and a seemingly endless number of abilities keep your mind busy, and your curiosity at a fever pitch. It’s not a stretch to say that Axiom Verge is better than the games that inspired it, because it’s so inventive and thoughtfully crafted. There’s no excuse to hold onto the past when the present is this amazing,” Peter Brown added.
To download the game for free, all you have to do is to sign up on Epic Games Store, log in, and download Axiom Verge. It would be smart to keep your account up and running because the Epic Games Store is planning to release more free PC games, the next in line being Thimbleweed Park.
Epic Games Store Already Signed Some Exclusivity Deals For Some Major Titles
The Epic Games Store challenges the dominance of Valve’s Steam platform. As if that weren’t enough, Epic Games Store also secured some exclusives, with titles like Metro Exodus and The Division 2 being just two of the most sought-after games Epic Store would exclusively sell.
On the other hand, Steam lost other titles, too. Anthem and Crackdown 3 would also roll out on other stores.
