Farming Simulator 19is the latest in the long-runningFarming Simulatorseries developed by Giants Software. This latest entry brought several improvements, including a redesigned graphics engine and the addition of horse farming and oat and cotton crops. And after much demand from fans, this is also the first entry in the series to include licensed John Deere machines.Epic Games Storeis giving away the standard edition of the game, which claims to be “the most complete farming experience ever!”
With two huge American and European environments to farm on, that certainly seems to be the case.Farming Simulator 19is a very good looking game and features tons of farming-based activities for players to spend their time on. In fact, there was even an eSports league launched last year for the game centered around competitive hay bale stacking. Clearly, theFarming Simulatorseries has a very dedicated fanbase.
For gamers who don’t dream of stacking hay bales competitively, they may want to keep shopping at the Epic Games Store (even ifreports say the digital retailer is hurting PC game sales). On February 6th, the new free games that will become available until the 13th areCarcassonne,Ticket to Ride, andPandemic.Carcassonneis a turn-based strategy game based on the board game of the same name, originally released for the Xbox 360 back in 2007.Ticket to Rideis another turn-based strategy game based on Alan R. Moon’s board game of the same name, in which players pick what kind of cargo their train will carry and the destinations they’re trying to reach.
The third strategy game Epic Games Store will be offering for free,Pandemic, is the Dark Realm Studios game that simulates destroying the world with very your own customized disease. The game starts players off on a random starting location and players attempt to upgrade their bioweapon until it infects and kills all of humanity. Epic Games made an interesting choice to offer this game for free, especially given thecurrent Coronavirus outbreak in China.
Farming Simulator 19is free at the Epic Games Store until February 6th, at which point Epic Games will start offeringCarcassonne,Ticket to Ride, andPandemicfor its next giveaway.
