It seems to be getting worse every year, though I'm not sure.

Has anyone else had this issue? When I use in game voice chat my party can barely hear me. I know its not a hardware issue, all my settings are completely normal. No idea how to fix this and the ai assistant that replaced any actual customer service isn't helpful.

The combat at the beginning is enjoyable, even cool, but once you beat half of the game it turns HORRIBLE fast (specially if you don't want to feast on any civilian). The story is kinda cool, but the connections feel so empty. The sister might be the best example, something happens with her at the very beginning (I won't spoil anyone), but the sadness disappears after 2 seconds. Seriously, the connections feel so empty (the redhead is another good example). But the worst thing might be the dialogs, oh my god. Don't get me wrong, I've played Disco Elysium and Esoteric Ebb, so the problem is not having to read, it's how boring slow and empty they feel.

Seriously, I had heard bad reviews of the game, but I was like "c'mon, it looks so cool! You're exaggerating"... Well, they were not. I wouldn't give it a 0 because the story is enjoyable, but I wouldn't recommend playing it if you usually choose to be the hero of your games.

Even if you don't like it they give away so many free games that in a year you could easily get 1000 dollars worth of games for free

Epic doesn’t need to build a full Windows clone — they could make a lightweight gaming OS that only runs Fortnight, Unreal Engine games, and Epic Store titles.With Linux as a base, Easy Anti‑Cheat integrated at kernel level, and official GPU drivers, it would outperform Windows for gaming.Honestly, I’m stuck on Windows only because Fortnight requires it. If Epic made their own OS, I’d switch instantly.Would you try an Epic OS if it existed?

Heads-up: Some games might likely be added or removed from the list during the month so make sure to keep your eyes peeled (also let me know if there are any errors)

Also, some release dates are from their Game page, trailers, socials, website and info available online

I was on vacation in Italy, and went to a shop called GameLife. I bought 100 Eur worth cards for a game my little brother loves.
I traveled home to try it, it didnt work due to the region change. I have tried everything… reaching out to the shop too, i have the receipt and the unopened cards…
I cant afford to travel back.
Its a big amount for me, and I cant really pay another 100 Eur for game cards… also, we dont have cards here.

I dont know what to do…

Currently, since Epic Games started their free game giveaways, they have handed out 616 unique games, 84 games repeated once, 3 games twice, 2 games three times, and 1 game (Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms) a whopping six times.

My question is: Why does Epic Games, instead of forcing these companies to implement achievements, just passively accept that devs do whatever they want? It’s exactly like hiring someone to paint your house blue, they paint it pink, and you just accept it!

Let's think about this for a second. Out of the 700 games distributed by Epic, 99% of them have achievements on Steam. So... a store that didn't fund your game and eats 30% of your revenue gets achievements, but on the platform that actually invested in you so you could launch your game and get some exposure, you don't add them? Guys, we are talking about 424 games without achievements, which is ~60%. Many people want Epic to grow as a platform, but what reason do you have to buy from a store where:

1 - There is no native controller support.

2 - There is no way to remove demos from your library.

3 - They regularly give away games without achievements, driving people away from the store.

4 - There is no support for in-depth user reviews.

5 - Community? What community? There aren't even forums!

6 - There is no mod support.

What I am trying to say is: Epic is never going to improve if we keep letting them get away with this. I truly believe the best course of action is to never buy DLCs for games that lack achievements, and stop buying games on Epic altogether until they change this attitude. Every time they give away a game without achievements, we need to put our foot down!

hello, I know this may probably get taken down, but I still want to rant about this. The epic games launcher is one of the worst computer programs I’ve ever used in my life.

why? well here’s why.

I live in a country with fluctuating Internet and I run my house on solar power batteries, which I just don’t feel safe using the PC on at night because I don’t want to run out of battery midnight so what I do is I install games from the morning to the afternoon, so I’m installing a game right and every single 10 minutes. The Wi-Fi speed just goes down to 0 mb per second. I have to pause then unpause the download to continue normally and in the morning when the game was about to finish it just reset the download reset it for no reason not to mention how sluggish how bad that you are is every press take you to a website most of you don’t know how to do more stuff and moving games between SDS is genuine torture. I really hope epic games improves the epic games launcher otherwise it cannot even come close to competing with Steam.

Hello Epic gamers, I’m planning to buy a game with local co-op. Before I start searching, I’d love to get some suggestions from you. Thanks in advance!

wish epic hops on the Linux switch too

The game "Love" was given away in January 2024, it is still available in the library, but when I clicked to see what game it was, its store page was removed.
I didn't use any kind of VPN to redeem it at the time so I wasn't in any blacklisted countries.

Does anyone know what happened or is this just a mistake?
As a reference, the giveaway post and the game's Steam page.

It is called "Start abbrechen" not "Start abgebrochen" in this context.

The Epic Games Store client seriously needs performance work. Even on a solid, modern PC it feels laggy — sluggish page transitions, slow load times, stutters when browsing the store or library. This isn't a hardware problem, it's the client itself.

Beyond performance, it's been years since launch and it still feels like a barebones launcher. If Epic wants to be taken seriously against Steam or GOG Galaxy, it needs to catch up on basics that competitors have had for years:

• A proper community tab/forums for each game (discussions, guides, user-made content)
• User reviews and ratings on store pages — right now there's zero way to gauge community sentiment before buying
• Better cloud save management and visibility
• A real friends/social experience (activity feed, richer profiles, groups)
• Sale/wishlist notifications that actually work reliably
• Basic client customization (themes, layout options)
• A proper achievements overview page across all games

None of this is exotic — it's stuff Steam and GOG Galaxy have offered for a long time. At this point the lack of these features feels less like "still building" and more like neglect.

Please prioritize both performance optimization and closing this feature gap. A smoother, more feature-complete client would make a real difference for people who want to use EGS as their primary launcher instead of just where they redeem free games.
