The Elder Scrolls Online is free on EGS until 27 July, so you've got just under a week to pick it up, alongside the pretty great puzzler Murder by Numbers. Maybe also make a mental note to check back at the same time next week as the freebies then include true RTS royalty in the form of the Homeworld Remastered Collection, and the stylish FPS Severed Steel, which I haven't played but seems to have pretty great reviews across the board.
It's fair to say that at launch TESO did not arrive fully formed. Its first months were rough but over time TESO got a lot better, becoming what MJ Guthrie calls "a rich world that tied together many aspects of the Elder Scrolls universe." It's steadily grown in popularity as Bethesda's built on the foundations, and now incorporates great versions of locations from the singleplayer titles, including Morrowind, and a healthy playerbase.
