Alien: Isolation and Hand of Fate 2 are free on the Epic Games Store

Another week brings us another pair of free games on the Epic Store, and they're very different from one another but both very good. First up is Alien: Isolation, an older (it came out in 2014) but outstanding horror game set 15 years after the film that started the xenomorph ball rolling. As Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen, you must escape the grim, steamy corridors of the space station Sevastopol, which has been overrun by alien horrors. The game world is a wonderfully true-to-form recreation of the retro-future world of the movies, with "chunky keyboards, phone receivers, distorted CRT monitors, and blinking coloured lights," while the alien stalking you is a perfect predator.
