    For people who don't mind using Epic Store launcher (yes, it is flawed and has no social features but I did not have any issues when using it for launching games), there are some free games they are offering until October 3rd, one is Metro 2033. If you never played it and want to give it a try - go ahead.

    If you choose to not use Epic Launcher for whatever reason - this is a valid choice but this thread is not for that, there is already existing one for discussing issues with it.

    The Metro games are a lot of fun, hopefully they get Last Light Redux in there for free in the future. I just finally played all of that before starting Exodus and it was a great time. The graphics on the Redux versions really hold up well to this day, and the games are just fun if you like some challenging FPS action.

    Point taken. I haven't researched G2A background much. Got a few good deals in the past couple years...
