Get a free upgrade to the Hitman 1 GOTY edition on Epic Game Store (valid for owners of the regular version on Epic)

The regular version was given away for free sometime last year on the Epic Game store. If you claimed a copy back then, you can get a free upgrade to the Game of The Year edition. Follow the steps below to get your copy.

1) You must first own Hitman 3 (full title, or the starter pack, which is currently free)

(There is no need to actually download it. Just add it to your shopping cart and check out.)

2) Go to the HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 1 GOTY Edition page

3) You'll see the full price listed but if you click on BUY NOW and it will be 100% discounted. Checkout as usual.

Note you can also play Hitman 1 GOTY Edition within Hitman 3!

Yeah I did, and the add-on still shows as $19.99 in the cart. Not that it's a big deal - it'd just be one more game in my library I'd probably never get around to playing.

I dunno about that. I managed to complete Hand of Fate 2, but I distinctly recall the mid- to late-game devolving into banal drudgery, overflowing with tedious repetition of the least enjoyable aspect of the game (i.e. real-time combat against increasing numbers of the same foes you've already fought and defeated countless times before). Which is a shame, because the adventure quests and "living board game" side of the game tend to be much more interesting and compelling than the tiresome combat you must slog through in order to complete them.

I thought I read that was something they addressed from 1 to 2.
