Epic Games December Freebies: Festive Gaming Gold with Saints Row IV, Alba and More

Deck the halls with boughs of pixels this December as the Epic Games Store pulls back the curtain on their stuffed holiday gaming giveaway. From the gloriously over-the-top antics of Saints Row IV to the heartwarming eco-adventures of Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, this month’s freebie bonanza overflows with digital cheer across genres and preferences.

Saints Row IV: Bombastic Mayhem meets Self-Aware Satire

Saints Row IV’s premise may raise eyebrows…after all, not every game casts you as the President of the United States imbued with superpowers to pulverize an alien invasion. But that’s precisely the point – this game proudly flies its Saturday morning cartoon plot line as an excuse to unleash unbridled chaos. Players can leap tall buildings, surf tanks, dubstep pulverize extraterrestrials with the Bass Cannon and probe enemies with weaponized rectal insertion…all while spewing infinite one-liners. It’s a delightful parody sandbox begging you to shake things up.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure – Follow Your Heart, Save the Planet

Not everyone desires wanton destruction during the holidays however. For a gentler, more uplifting experience, check out Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, where you’ll step into the hiking boots of young eco-warrior Alba exploring her gorgeous Mediterranean island home while saving animals and uniting her community. By cleaning beaches, freeing critters from debris and making ethical choices, you’ll restore natural habitats piece by piece while witnessing the heartwarming impacts firsthand. Alba is a breath of fresh air sure to ignite your sense of wonder.

The Magic of Indie Gaming

Epic’s December showcase spotlights the vital creative backbone of indie studios, offering unique gaming gems both blockbuster and bite-sized. It’s this passionate, risk-taking ethos that often drives innovation and forges new gaming memories. While not every title will appeal uniformly, variety can unlock new perspectives or rekindle gaming sparks long extinguished. That alone makes each free offering worth celebrating.
