Ah, autumn is here, finally you can dig in with hot tea in front of your computer without a guilty conscience – and it’s all the better that Steam and Epic are again offering you various games for free this weekend. For example Mordhau, a medieval game in which you kill and skin. Or Humankind, Civilzation’s strategy rival.
But enough spoiled, let’s dive into the offers.
Highlight of the week: Mordhau

Test video for Mordhau – knight nonsense for chaos fans
Genre: Medieval Multiplayer | developer: Triternion | Release: 29. April 2019 | Offer valid until: Monday, 7 p.m
At first glance, Mordhau looks like Chivalry, i.e. a chaotic medieval multiplayer brawl in which I use sword and shield to knock hordes of other knights out of the picture. At second glance, however, it actually has more in common with the older War of the Roses, because Mordhau plays a little more methodically in his fights than Chivalry 2. I have to consider more tactically, choose the direction of the attack even more granularly, especially in competitive Ranked -Mode to keep your head above water or at least on your shoulders.
But these are details. Mordhau is a very fun multiplayer game for swordfighting fans, which we can also thoroughly recommend – but there is a catch: the player base is quite small (but has remained stable for at least months). With an average daily peak of 2,600 concurrent users, you won’t find enough contenders in all modes… for a $25 multiplayer game, that’s a factor you should definitely consider.
The free weekend is therefore an even better opportunity to get a taste of things for free. You might be okay with the waiting times, and you can try the PvE horde mode, which all you need to do is bring a few friends to play properly. By Monday, Mordhau is also reduced by half to 12.50 dollars.

Even more free games and free weekends
- Fallout 76 is playable for free throughout the weekend with its Pitt expansion. So if you want to give the MMO another chance, you have until October 11th.
- Humankind Civilization wants to dig out the strategy water. According to our Humankind test, this doesn’t really work so far, but you can still have a lot of fun with it. You can play for free via Steam until Monday.
- Slain: Back From Hell is a ridiculously difficult sidescroll banger with a very cool look and hard metal sounds. Giving away for free on the Epic Store.
- Rising Hell is also a hot metal dream, but in this case as a roguelite in which you fight your way through hell. Will also be a permanent gift in the Epic Store.
- Barotrauma is a co-op survival submarine sci-fi simulator and we could certainly add a few more terms to it, but just check it out for yourself on Steam until Monday.
If you don’t have anything for you this week, check out Gundam Evolution, as Gundams are proven to be the best combat robots in popular culture.
