Every week, the Epic Games Store opens its virtual doors to PC users, offering at least one free game, often more. This weekly ritual invites gamers to explore new titles without any hidden strings attached, provided they have a PC to enjoy their newfound treasures. Once claimed, these games are yours to keep, and this week, the store presents two delightful offerings.
This Cosy Automation Game Is A Perfect Gateway To The Genre
First up is Odsparks: An Automation Adventure, a charming title that made its debut just a year ago. Developed by Massive Miniteam and published by HandyGames, this cosy automation game invites players into a whimsical fantasy world where they can establish automation workshops while uncovering the “mysteries of the past.” Accompanying players on this enchanting journey are Sparks, small woody creatures that assist in building a thriving automation empire.
Typically priced at , Odsparks serves as an excellent introduction to the automation genre, especially for those who might be hesitant to dive in. Its accessible gameplay loop and inviting cartoonish visuals create a warm atmosphere that can easily charm even the most skeptical gamers. One enthusiastic reviewer on Steam aptly described it as a blend of Pikmin and Factorio, capturing its unique appeal.
Idle RPG Fans Can Secure Some Valuable In-Game Bonuses For This Hit
The second title available this week is Firestone, a free-to-play idle clicker RPG from Holyday Studios that first launched in 2024. In this “no stress” game, players engage in battles against various enemies, enjoying infinite progression even while offline, as their heroes continue to fight in their absence. While Firestone is free to download, securing it from the Epic Games Store this week grants players an impressive 0 worth of in-game bonuses.
Even if you already own Firestone, launching it through the Epic Games Store will still reward you with the same enticing bonus. This 0 bundle includes:
- The Grove Guardian skin for Luana
- Two avatars for your character profile
- 10 common chests, each containing at least one piece of hero’s gear
- Five uncommon chests with at least one piece of uncommon gear
- 10 wooden chests, each holding at least one piece of hero’s jewels
- Five iron chests containing at least one uncommon jewel
Additionally, players will receive 360 “strange dust” for training guardians or conducting experiments, 50 scrolls to enhance stats, 35 game tokens to test luck at the tavern, five Temple’s tokens for epic empowerments, and 200 gems. However, it’s worth noting that new players must reach Stage 15 to unlock all of this loot, a detail tucked away in the fine print.
Both of these enticing offerings will be available for free until May 7 at 4 PM BST / 8 AM PT. Additionally, players can currently grab Hogwarts Legacy for free from the Epic Games Store, though this title is only available until May 3. Offered by Warner Bros. in celebration of 25 years of Harry Potter, such high-caliber games occasionally find their way into Epic’s free game lineup.
