The Epic Games Store has carved out a niche for itself with its intriguing practice of offering free games to its users. This tradition has not only enhanced user engagement but has also provided a platform for various games to reach a wider audience. As January 2024 unfolds, the gaming community is rife with speculation about the next title to be graced with the label of a free game on the Epic Games Store. The buzz suggests that the indie platformer Love might be the next free offering, spanning from January 18 to January 25.
This speculation follows the ongoing excitement generated by Epic Games' daily mystery game giveaway, which has become a staple for the digital store. Gamers have been treated to a new title each day, expanding their digital libraries and exploring diverse gaming genres. The current culmination of this giveaway is Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, available until Thursday, January 11 at 10 AM CST. Notably, this game, along with the initial offering of the Destiny 2: Legacy Collection, deviates from the daily giveaway format by being available for a full week instead of just a day. Following Guardians of the Galaxy, the game Sail Forth is set to take center stage from January 11 to January 18.

Released in 2014, Love is an indie platformer known for its charming retro art style. Despite receiving mixed to negative reviews from critics, primarily due to its short length, it boasts a “Very Positive” rating on Steam. According to How Long to Beat, a single playthrough of Love takes approximately 34 minutes, with a 100% completion requiring around 10.5 hours. The game's inclusion of a level editor further adds to its replay value, allowing players to craft and share their unique levels.
