The mid-October 2025 Epic Games Store PC free game lineup is now available to claim. It offers two freebies, and both are acclaimed games. The whole giveaway is worth $44.98, but until October 23, 2025, it will be $0 on the platform.

Epic Games Store has ended its second PC free game giveaway batch, and with that, two free games have become available to claim. As we covered previously, the mid-October 2025 freebie lineup is quite interesting, as it contains two acclaimed titles.

Among the two currently free games is Amnesia: The Bunker. It's a 2023 horror title that has been praised for its implementation of survival horror. The game puts players in the shoes of a French soldier who is trapped inside an underground bunker. Its core gameplay involves maintaining the power of the bunker while trying to escape from it.

One of the interesting aspects of this currently free game is that it sports a semi-open world. More specifically, it doesn't restrict players to linear gameplay. Instead, players have the freedom to explore and approach available objectives as they like. The game's primary enemy, The Beast, responds dynamically to the actions taken by the player, which adds a layer of unpredictability to the entire storyline.

However, Amnesia: The Bunker has some repetitive areas, and the trial-and-error nature of the gameplay can feel frustrating sometimes. The game is priced at $24.99, supports controllers (8BitDo Ultimate 2C curr. $25.49 on Amazon), and currently boasts around 5,400 player ratings, with 94% of them being positive.

Moving to the second freebie, it's Samorost 3. Known for its point-and-click gameplay, this adventure title follows a space gnome who embarks on a surreal journey. There are many puzzles throughout this currently free game, and players get to interact with the vibrant world around them as they keep exploring.

Samorost 3 is also praised for its charming characters, and the animation pairs well with the overall design. However, some of its puzzles can feel tedious, and the lack of controller support is also a big downside that has been noted by some. This currently free game generally goes for $19.99 and comes with a 94% positive player rating. You can learn more about the two freebies from the videos attached below.
