There is a ritual that PC gamers know well: on Thursday at 5 p.m., the Epic Games Store unveils its new selection of free games. This week is no exception. Since February 26 at 5 p.m., two titles have replaced the previous offer, with the same promise: a free download and permanent storage on your account.
Players have until March 5 at 4:59 p.m. to add them to their library. After this deadline, they will become payable again. Until then, just claim them to keep them for life.
Boxes Lost Fragments, a puzzle game praised by players
First title highlighted: Boxes Lost Fragments. Released in 2024, this game is aimed at fans of reflection and cerebral challenges. The player plays a renowned thief whose mission is to steal various treasures. The scenario serves above all as a pretext for a succession of meticulous enigmas. Each puzzle requires observing, manipulating and decoding sometimes complex mechanisms.
The title was able to convince its audience. On the Epic Games Store, it has an average rating of 4.5/5 stars from players. A score which reflects a very positive reception.
The puzzles follow one another with a gradual increase in difficulty. The objective is clear: to push the player to fully exploit his logic and his sense of detail. It’s not a frenetic action game, but an experience designed for those who like to take their time. However, some regulars might have a feeling of déjà vu: Boxes Lost Fragments had already been offered in the past on the store. For newcomers or those who missed it, the opportunity remains interesting.
My Night Job, a tribute to the horror films of the 1980s
The complete opposite of the first title, My Night Job focuses on action and a retro atmosphere. In this game, the player plays a night guard responsible for defending an abandoned mansion against waves of monsters. The graphic universe is clearly inspired by horror productions from the 1980s, with a deliberately offbeat tone.
The experience is based on a simple principle: survive as long as possible by repelling the creatures that invade the place. The difficulty increases as the minutes pass, making each game more intense.
The game is not without its flaws. A certain repetitiveness and lack of depth can limit its appeal over time. But offered for free, the trial costs nothing. Usually sold for €8.99, it represents a small saving for players curious to test this atypical title.
A limited time offer on the Epic Games Store
As always with the Epic Games Store’s weekly offer, the schedule is precise. Both games are available for free from February 26 at 5 p.m. until March 5 at 4:59 p.m. This is not temporary access. Once added to the library, Boxes Lost Fragments and My Night Job remain permanently attached to the player’s account. Every Thursday, the platform renews its selection. The next free games will be revealed at the time of the change of offer, in the continuity of this weekly meeting which has become essential for many PC players.
