Compared to the other free games offered through the Epic Games Store this year, it stands out as one of the better games offered to EGS users.

As always, this new free Epic Games Store game is available to download for free for one week only. More specifically, the game can be downloaded for free and without obligation from the Epic Games Store between November 28th and December 5th. The game normally only costs $5, so the savings isn’t huge, but those who don’t already own the game have something to look forward to.

On the Epic Games Store, the free game in question has a rating of 4.9 out of 5. It now has an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, the highest rating a game can receive on Steam. This is thanks to an approval rating of 96 percent from 81,964 user reviews.

For those who don’t understand, the new free Epic Games Store game is Brotato from developer Blobfish, who also published the game independently.

“A Potato World spaceship crashes into an alien planet,” reads an official elevator pitch for the game. “The Sole Survivor: Brotato, the only potato who can wield six weapons at once. While he waits to be rescued by his comrades, Brotato must survive in this hostile environment.”

Those who decide to give Brotato a try now that it’s available for free on the Epic Games Store should expect a game that can be played in around five hours. However, a full playthrough of the game that requires playing it more than once will take closer to 50 to 60 hours. Because of this, the game offers a lot of replay value, but is also short for those looking for a bite-sized game, which is one of the reasons it has proven so popular.

As always with Epic Games Store games, once claimed, the game is free to keep. No trial or subscription is required. It’s a hassle-free full game free download that only requires an Epic Games Store account.
