Mothergunship on the Epic Games Store
In short,Mothergunshipis a bullet-hell FPS, but thisEpic Games Storeoffering is slightly more complicated than that. It takes the best of both genres and puts them together well, while giving players the ability to craft the biggest, most insane guns. They need them too, as they attempt to fight off a seemingly-endless horde of aliens who have conquered Earth. At times, it’s mindless shooting, but it balances this with just enough strategy required to make it even more fun. Crafting these weapons, getting into tense fights against giant bosses, and more all par for the course inMothergunship, and those looking for some quick-shooting and simple fun,Mothergunshipmay just tick the box.
Train Sim World 2 on the Epic Games Store
Train Sim Worldis notable for the player’s ability to exit the train, in order to complete tasks such as refueling. It’s a notable difference that helps it stand out from other train simulators, withTSW2also adding the Livery Editor and Scenario Designer. This sequel of the sim adds two new routes and multiple trains, while receiving a ton of post-launch support. Overall, it adds all of the realism and immersion of a typicaltrain simulator gamebut typically takes it a step further; for example, those who have playedTrain Sim World 2020can still use its add-ons inTSW2(with few exceptions).
While a frantic FPS and a train sim seem like completely differing games, they are both those that offer players a concentrated task that serves well as a relaxing or intense experience. It works either way depending on the players, but perhaps for those who don’t really care for this selection, it’s worth mentioning that theEpic Games Store August free gamesare only going to continue adding.
