Epic gives away another free game, and I make another post to Usenet about Epic giving away a free game. I wonder how many of these posts I've made over the years? If I had a nickel for each one, could I afford any of these games on Epic when they /aren't/ free? These are the important questions that keep me awake at night. * Mages of Mystralia https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/mages-of-mystralia Mystralia... it's like Australia, but with more believable monsters. Seriously Australia; robber crabs, huntsman spiders, meter-long earthworms, Anthony Albanese... what the hell is going on there? Anyway, the game itself (which you may already have, since it was a freebie back in December 2021) is your typical Indie fantasy action/adventure game. It's somewhat akin to Zelda if perhaps a bit more focused on puzzling. Quality is what you'd expect from an Indie game; not great, but not unplayable. It's fine. Well, add another nickel to the pot. It'll be a long week before I earn the next one, but we've all gotta make a living somehow! ;-)
