Something different for FTL fans to sink into

The Epic Games Store has an interesting one-two punch lined up for sci-fi roguelite fans and anyone who’s held off gettingStar Wars Battlefront II. The holidays are over but the free games must continue.

Starting today, you can claim the strategy titleCrying Sunsfor your bustling PC library, and while it doesn’t reach the highs of the arguably best-in-classFTL, it’s of a similar mood – you might dig it.

Following that freebie, the Epic Store will give outStar Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition– that’s the one with hundreds of cosmetic extras like Hero and Trooper “appearances,” voice lines, and emotes packed-in – for one week beginning Thursday, January 14. Try not to forget (but we’ll be here if you do).

I feel likeBattlefront II(and the reception toBattlefront II) has come around enough in recent years that I probably don’t need to tell you it’s in a good place and it’s enjoyable – but it is. You can be Bossk!
