Kerbal Space Program. It won’t necessary make you “smarter”, but it will teach and given you an intuition for orbital mechanics. I think it’s free this or next week on Epic, and the sequel will be released in about a month or so. It’s highly moddable, meaning plenty of replayability. As it’s a unity game, it’s written in C#, so if you want to get into modding yourself, it’s very easy too.

  Free games are not worth it when they are on epic.

    KSP doesn’t have any DRM, you can copy it and have as many installs as you want. I usually have a vanilla + two or three modded installs. Once you‘ve downloaded and copied it, you can just get rid of epic.

      At that point why bother with epic at all. You can get it though alternative channels just as easily.

        Because at least it has the semblance of legitimacy? Look, I’ve fairly liberal views on piracy (arrrr, etc.), but this isn’t the time or place to get into that discussion.

    "free" games aren't even free when they're on epic. The cost of installing epic is too high.

      You can use something like Heroic and completely avoid using the Epic launcher.
