Epic Games Store continues its tradition of weekly giveaways, but this mid-November selection feels different; fuller, more varied, and more thoughtfully curated than many recent drops. Instead of offering a single genre or a short indie one-and-done title, Epic is delivering a trio of games that each appeal to entirely different corners of the player base.
From lightning-fast roguelike action to deep fantasy strategy and slow-burn tactical gunplay, the platform seems intent on giving every kind of player at least one compelling reason to log in this week. It’s a reminder of why Epic’s free game initiative still stands as one of the most consumer-friendly programs in PC gaming, even years after launch.
All three titles; ScourgeBringer, Songs of Silence, and Zero Hour can be claimed for free until November 20 at 7:00 PM. Once added to a player’s library, they remain permanently accessible, making this week an opportunity that’s hard to ignore.
Below is a closer look at the trio, what makes each game stand out, and why this particular mix shows Epic is paying attention to the diverse tastes of the modern PC audience:
ScourgeBringer
If a game could be described as pure kinetic energy, ScourgeBringer would fit the bill. This roguelike platformer is built around speed; not just movement speed, but decision-making speed, reaction speed, and the ability to stay in constant motion. Every encounter feels like a dance where the player must juggle mid-air attacks, dashes, dodges, and rapid slashes without ever touching the ground.
What sets it apart is how smooth and responsive it feels. There’s no wasted animation, no slowdown, nothing cluttering the screen. Each generating room brings new patterns and enemy combinations, turning every run into a fresh test of skill. For players craving something fast, stylish, and endlessly replayable, this is the standout pick of the week.
Songs of Silence
Where ScourgeBringer moves at breakneck velocity, Songs of Silence takes the opposite approach: thoughtful, deliberate, and richly atmospheric. This strategy title blends turn-based campaigns with card-driven abilities and real-time battles, creating a layered experience that’s easy to grasp but deeply nuanced once you dive in. The game’s art direction is striking; hand-painted environments, elegant character designs, and a soundtrack that gives weight to even the smallest decisions.
It’s a strategy game built not just for number-crunchers but for players who want a world to sink into. Its unique hybrid mechanics and story-driven progression make it this week’s most surprising addition.
Zero Hour
For players who prefer realism over reflexes, Zero Hour brings grounded, tactical FPS gameplay to the lineup. This isn’t a run-and-gun shooter; it’s tense, methodical, and built around communication. Every corner matters, every sound matters, and every mistake can cost the entire mission. It carries the DNA of Rainbow Six 3 and early SWAT titles but updates the formula with more modern map design and cooperative modes.
It’s the kind of game that rewards patience and teamwork, making it a refreshing contrast to the high-octane shooters dominating the market.
This week’s Epic Games Store free lineup is one of the most well-balanced collections in recent memory. Whether you want sharp, reactive combat; a slow, strategic war campaign; or a hyper-realistic tactical shooter, there’s something here worth adding to your library.
