The Epic Games Store is closing out May with a triple free game drop that runs until May 29 at 5:00 PM. If you haven’t already claimed them, this is the final stretch to grab Sifu(free again), Gigapocalypse, and Deliver At All Costs without spending a cent. These games span wildly different genres—action brawler, pixelated kaiju chaos, and delivery sim—which keeps things interesting for anyone looking to expand their library with something unexpected.

Sifu – Stylish Kung Fu Action With Brutal Precision

Sifu is a third-person martial arts brawler from Sloclap, the same studio behind Absolver. With a Metacritic score hovering around 80 depending on platform, it’s been well received for its tight combat mechanics and clean visual design. You play as a young kung fu student out for revenge after the murder of your family. The twist is its aging mechanic: each time you die, your character gets older, stronger in damage output but weaker in health. You can only age so many times before it’s game over permanently.

The gameplay is heavily timing-based. You’ll spend most of your time parrying, dodging, and delivering precise strikes against multiple enemies. It rewards memorization of enemy patterns and strategic positioning. Sifu has a combo system that leans more toward rhythm and accuracy than button mashing. Environments play a big role too—items like bottles or pipes can be used as weapons, and positioning can be used to knock enemies into walls or off ledges.

Visually, the game uses a stylized realism with clean lighting and color grading that gives each stage a distinct mood—from smoky nightclubs to rain-soaked alleys. It runs smoothly on both keyboard/mouse and controller setups, though most players agree a controller gives better tactile feedback for the kind of movement precision required. The game originally launched at $39.99, so getting it for free is a serious deal if you’re into skill-based action games.

Sifu also includes multiple difficulty settings now (post-launch update), so if you bounced off it early for being too hard, it’s worth revisiting. There’s no multiplayer or co-op here—it’s purely a single-player experience focused on mastery.

Gigapocalypse – Side-Scrolling Monster Mayhem

Gigapocalypse is a 2D side-scrolling destruction game that feels like someone mashed up Rampage with rogue-lite mechanics. Developed by Goody Gameworks, it sits around the mid-70s on Metacritic and offers fast, chaotic gameplay with some light progression systems layered on top.

You control one of several kaiju-style monsters called “Gigas,” each with their own abilities and playstyle. The objective is simple: destroy everything in your path while avoiding enemy attacks from tanks, helicopters, and futuristic defenses. The game throws a lot of bullets at you in bullet hell fashion, so there’s more dodging and weaving than you might expect from something that looks like a straight-up beat-em-up.

Each run earns you mutation points that can be spent on permanent upgrades or cosmetic tweaks. Between missions, there’s even a Tamagotchi-style base management system where you take care of your monster to unlock passive bonuses—feeding it, cleaning its lair, stuff like that. It’s not deep, but it adds some offbeat charm to the chaos.

Pixel art visuals are loud and colorful, and the chiptune soundtrack keeps the energy high. Controls are tight enough to make the carnage feel responsive whether you’re using keyboard or controller. There’s no online multiplayer here either—it’s a solo affair focused on replayability through its unlocks and challenge runs. Normally priced around $9.99, Gigapocalypse fits well into the current trend of small but punchy indie titles offered free on the Epic Games Store.

Deliver At All Costs – Delivery Sim With Co-Op Chaos

Deliver At All Costs is a thrilling action indie sandbox game where destruction, absurdity and intrigue collide! Step into the shoes of Winston Green — a down-on-his-luck courier with a fiery temper and a mysterious past — as he delivers highly unconventional cargo, leaving a trail of havoc and chaos behind him

Assetto Corsa Evo’s Update 0.2, currently accessible through Early Access, introduces a range of significant additions and changes designed to enrich the simulation experience.

Expanding the Vehicle Roster

The update incorporates seven new vehicles into the simulation’s roster. These additions include the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA, the Lotus Exige V6 Cup, the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (964), the Mazda MX-5 (NA), the Honda NSX-R, the Maserati GT2, and the Alfa Romeo 75 1.8 Turbo Evoluzione, broadening the spectrum of driving experiences available to players across different eras and vehicle types.

Introducing New Racing Environments

Complementing the expanded vehicle selection are two newly integrated circuits: the Circuit of the Americas (COTA), located in Austin, Texas, and the historically significant Donington Park circuit in the UK. These additions provide players with fresh and diverse environments to test the capabilities of the updated car lineup, offering distinct challenges and layouts.

Evolution of Game Mode Options

The update also brings notable changes to the game modes, offering greater flexibility and control to players. The introduction of “Open Mode” provides a completely offline experience where all vehicles and customization options are immediately accessible without the constraints of a progression system or licensing requirements, catering to those seeking immediate access to all content. The “Career Mode” now functions fully offline and retains its features of player progression, an in-game economy, and the Driving Academy, ensuring a structured single-player experience without the need for an internet connection. Furthermore, a new “Custom Race Weekend” mode allows players to design comprehensive race events, including practice, qualifying, warm-up, and the main race, with session durations configurable by either laps or time, offering a more tailored and realistic race weekend structure.

A new “Replay Gallery” feature has been implemented, significantly enhancing the post-race experience. This functionality enables players to save and review their gameplay sessions, allowing for the preservation of memorable moments and the analysis of driving performance. The gallery includes playback functionalities such as slow-motion and the ability to switch between multiple camera angles for detailed observation.

Technical and Visual Improvements

Beyond the new content and ACEVO game mode adjustments, Update 0.2 includes a suite of technical and visual improvements aimed at enhancing the overall quality of the simulation. Efforts have been made to optimize performance, focusing on stability enhancements for various setups, including virtual reality and triple-screen configurations, indicating a commitment to a smoother user experience across different hardware. The artificial intelligence system has been updated with a “Custom AI Grid” interface, allowing players to fine-tune the performance parameters of AI opponents, leading to more engaging and competitive races.

Visual fidelity has been addressed through retuned weather settings, improved rendering of trees, more realistic flag animations, refined visual reflections, and the activation of car dirt effects, contributing to a more immersive and visually appealing environment. For virtual reality users, the update introduces a VR TV camera set and support for DLSS technology, further enhancing the VR experience. Finally, usability has been improved with the addition of a car controls widget in the main menu, an enhanced radar widget, and corrections to controller navigation, streamlining the user interface and improving accessibility.
