    Ugh. Thursday again. Man, what a chore, having to get free games every
    week. Epic really ought to be grateful we're taking time out of our
    busy schedules to scoop up these free offerings. But I bet they're
    not, the gamy bastards.

    Fine, Epic, give us some more games. Geez.


    * Machinarium

    I gotta say, I'm surprised this game hasn't shown up as
    an Epic freebie before. Firstly, because it's been a freebie
    numerous times on other platforms, and secondly because this
    is Amanita Design's oldest game, and they've given away
    pretty much every other title they have already. Oh well.
    It's an okay -if simplistic- adventure game, if you can get
    past the visual style.


    * Make Way
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/make-way-bddf5f
    A top-down racing game, which is a genre I've never really
    enjoyed. Multiplayer oriented, its got lots of loops and
    ramps over bottomless pits. Not really my thing, but I guess
    it's okay if you're into that sort of thing.



    There, Epic, are you happy? We took your two stupid free games. And
    the worst thing is, you probably expect us to come back in a week to
    do it all over again. Will your selfishness never end, Epic?
