These will add the games to your library for good, so even if you’re not looking to play either one right now, just claiming it puts them both in your collection for later.
Kerbal Space Programis theinfamousrocket-disaster simulator about launching small, unsuspecting Kerbals into orbit with your specially designed rockets. It’s a straightforward concept on paper that’s made more complicated when you realize it is, actually, rocket science. PlayingKerbalis a pretty fun way to learn about how hard it is to put a metal tube in space, while also cackling when your plans go spectacularly awry.
Otherwise,Aiko’s Choiceis a standalone expansion forShadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. The baseShadow Tacticsis afairly well-likedstealth tactics game, andAiko’s Choiceis like a concentrated version of it. It’s a campaign all its own, and doesn’t require the baseShadow Tacticsto play.

It’s a solid pairing of games for this week’s Epic giveaway. Both also sit in some interesting niches of gameplay, so this is really a good excuse to try them out without putting down any cash.
As for the next Epic Game Store freebie, the Store lists the impostor gameFirst Class Troubleas its next upcoming game giveaway. That’s expected to go live on January 12, and be available to grab through January 19.
