Oh, hey. I didn't see you there. I'm just setting up these free games
I got on Epic. You do know there are free games given away on Epic
every Thursday, right? Yup, every week. Don't worry, I'll be here to
remind you. Like take this week; look at these games they have on
offer.


* Boxes: Lost Fragments https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/boxes-lost-fragments-079041
A logic-puzzler where you have to open an bunch of puzzle
boxes. Looks well made and I can see myself getting invested
in it for a little while... but I'm pretty sure I'd tire of
the thing by the third box. (If you've Amazon Prime, you may
already have collected this freebie as it was a give-away
there last July.)


* My Night Job
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/my-night-job-a416a6
A side-scrolling action/brawler with pixel-graphics and
zombies. For what it is, it looks okay... but it also looks a
lot like a mobile game I played back in the 2010s. Walk left
and shoot (or chainsaw, or whatever) trying to rescue people.
It's simple fun, but it doesn't look like a game that would
have enough depth for extended gameplay. Fine on a handheld,
where sessions last only a few minutes, but on a PC? I'd want
a bit more meat... and brains.



See? Free games, just like I said. Not the greatest, but also not the
worst either. All you have to do is go there and collect them. Or
don't; it's all up to you. But you better decide quick, 'cause in
seven days these games are gone.

But then I'll be back to announce the next batch!
