The Epic Games Store continues with free games every week
The Epic Games Store (EGS) continues its tradition of offering users one or two free games every week. For those seeking relaxation and a farming experience, there is good news. EGS is currently in the midst of a massive sale, attracting attention by giving away high profile games.
Last week's free game was the excellent Dragon Age : Inquisition, and this week will be very different, but still excellent. According to a post on X (formerly Twitter), Epic Games shared a short teaser video of the game that will be given free to all users on May 23rd. Based on visuals and previous rumors, it is Farming Simulator 22. The blurry graphics of a tractor match the game's cover art and confirm the speculation that has been running rampant on the internet for the past week.
As usual, players will have one week to pick up Farming Simulator 22 from EGS before it is replaced by another title.
Farming Simulator 22: Highlights
Farming Simulator 22 is the latest game in the long-running Farming Simulator franchise and is widely recognized as the pinnacle of the series. In addition to the advanced visual effects, the game also offers the most extensive base game content in the series, as well as many DLC expansions for those who want to expand their experience.
The game boasts a wide variety of customization options, including original maps and fan-made farms, giving players a consistently unique experience. Its deep mechanics allow users to truly immerse themselves in operations and micromanage the optimization of their farming process. While it can be scary at first, seeing your farm run smoothly becomes both relaxing and satisfying once the basic mechanics are in place.
A realistic approach to the genre
The Epic Games Store's recent bounty of Farming Simulator 22 may not appeal to everyone, but with the popularity of life/farming RPGs like Stardew Valley and Disney's Dreamlight Valley in recent years, a more realistic approach to the genre is sure to appeal to many interested players.
For those who enjoy Farming Simulator 22, there is also Farming Simulator 23, the latest release which is exclusive to Nintendo Switch and mobile.
While not as deep as its predecessor, it's still an excellent game to play on the go.
