The Epic store sucks so much that I’ve gotta look the game up on Steam just to tell what I’m supposed to be looking at on Epic.

Seriously, look up any game on the EGS right now and you’ve gotta scroll past a mountain of bullshit just to get a description of the game. It kinda reminds me of those really shitty cooking sites with all the fluff.

Hah you can report a game before you even get a description or a screenshot from the game

Even with the free games you don’t always get a picture of video of actual gameplay. Just marketing bs.

Like, I have no idea what this game is about.

This is the experience of every game in every store. I don't know how anyone chooses a game from the store.

It's better on desktop. The thing they show first on mobile is the sidebar there.

I mean even if we ignore the idiotic choice to put the sidebar in the content at smaller widths, you’re still left with a terrible site.

Generic, meaningless tags along with no user reviews make the site useless.

Agreed, it's not well-designed.
