Epic Games announced that Shenmue III is the first of several games that Epic Games Store users can pick up for free and permanently add to their libraries. Epic will give away fifteen games until the end of the year, one for each new day. You've got until December 17th at 5 PM to grab Shenmue III, then the free game promotion will switch to the next title, which is still a mystery as of writing.

Shenmue III launched two years ago, eighteen years after Shenmue II. Nathan rated it 8 out of 10 in his review.
