This week, users of the Epic Games Store can pick up a well-known shooter game at no cost. But that's not all; there are two additional games available too, though you need an Amazon Prime membership to get them. Specifically, Prime members can snag Jurassic World Evolution and Elite Dangerous, both of which have been positively received by the gaming community.
Pricing and Popularity
Jurassic World Evolution typically has a price tag of $44.99 when it’s not on sale, and it enjoys a "Very Positive" rating on Steam with more than 48,000 reviews from players. Created by Frontier Developments, this game allows players to build and oversee their own dinosaur amusement park. Featuring over 40 different dinosaur species, players can also engage in genetic modifications.
Game Mechanics
The gameplay primarily revolves around dealing with various crises that arise. Players must manage extreme weather challenges, dinosaur escapes, and power failures, among other issues. For those looking for a tougher experience, there's a Challenge mode available, while players wanting a more relaxed play can opt for the sandbox mode.
Exploring Space
The second game offered for free on Prime Gaming through the Epic Games Store is Elite Dangerous, which usually retails for $19.99 outside of sales. Also developed by Frontier Developments, it has a "Mostly Positive" rating on Steam and more than 73,000 player reviews. This game features an open-world space simulation that accurately represents the Milky Way.
In Elite Dangerous, you can take on various roles such as a bounty hunter, trader, explorer, or pirate, with each role providing a distinct gaming experience. For instance, if you choose to be a trader, your mission is to earn money through trading while navigating the expansive universe. There’s also a multiplayer mode available, along with community events to participate in.
To get both Elite Dangerous and Jurassic World Evolution without paying, an Amazon Prime subscription is necessary. To redeem these games on the Epic Games Store, simply link your Epic account and open the Epic Launcher. Once linked, these games will be ready for download in your library. Since neither game has heavy hardware demands, they should run well on most reasonably equipped systems, including several gaming handhelds.
