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?
