Is this game good? I've resisted installing Epic Store so far, but this looks pretty neat. Does it feel Zachtronics-y? If so, I'll probably pull the trigger.

If you're going to go this route, just pirate it. The game is good, definitely deserves the price.

Looks like it's available via steam paid, maybe I'll just buy it.

It goes on sale for $5 pretty frequently as well.

Huhhh, I'm a huge epic games fan, I've used UE4 for years prior... but having to download another "steam" client for DRMs makes it a huge turn off.

I don't need another launcher agent on my computer for your auto-update telemetry loving nonsense, for trying out a game I might not even like!

Why are you resisting installing steams first real competition which gives devs a bigger cut and regularly throws free games at you?

Because competing with steam through exclusive deals and free games is not competing, it's racing to the bottom. I don't see any actual improvements or innovations in the Epic Games Store, it looks like a pure money grab.
