"Boom-shakalaka-boom, more games are coming into the room!" How's that
for an introduction? Yeah? Well, I'd like to see you do better after
ten years of doing these things! Anyway: Thursday, Epic, games; you
know the drill. Let's go see what we get.


* Deathloop
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deathloop
    Another of Arkane Studio's classics; this one has you 
    going round and round stuck in a timeloop. Assassinate 
    your way to temporal freedom in this stylish FPS. It's 
    a well made and fun game, but its sandbox gameplay 
    -another Arkane trope- might not be to everyone's taste. 
    It was given away by Amazon Prime Gaming, so you if 
    you have that service you may already have that game 
    on Epic; otherwise it's new.


* Ogu and the Secret Forest
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/ogu-and-the-secret-forest-ffc421
    A Zelda-like action/adventure but with 'cutesy' and 
    'adorable' hand-drawn visuals. I think you all know how 
    well 'cutesy' goes down with me, so I'm not excited 
    about this one. The gameplay doesn't look all that 
    intriguing either. But I guess some people might 
    like it.


Alright; you've got seven days for these games, if you want them. Then
we do it again. And again. And again... until either Epic or I bore of
the whole thing. I wonder who will break first?
