• FREE GAME: ADIOS and HELL IS OTHERS

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 26 11:19:57 2023
    Is it time for more free games? You bet yer ass its time for more free
    games! Good thing there are a couple of free games available on Epic,
    then!

    * Adios
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/adios-b378b4
    It's a walking simulator; let's get that out of the way right from the
    start. If that genre doesn't appeal to you, just skip on down to the
    next one because I doubt "Adios" is going to do anything to convince
    you of its merits. Otherwise, this one may be worth taking a look at.
    Good voice-acting, an interesting character and good (if stylized)
    visuals all wrapped around a strong story. You're not going to find
    much of a challenge, but if you want to enjoy a good narrative as you
    wander through a 3D world, this might be worth a look.


    * Hell Is Others
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hell-is-others-789262
    On the other hand, if you want violence and shooting, "Hell Is Others"
    may be more your thing. A top-down shooter against demonic things.
    It's multiplayer-only though, and apparently the servers are pretty
    empty which might limit how much fun you can have with this game (that
    might change after this freebie, though). A lot of the game also
    revolves around scavenging for consumables rather than relying simply
    on the strength of its combat. Not sure it's a game for me, but it
    does have a nice visual style.


    Will you get one? Both? Neither? You have seven days to decide!
    Tick-tock!

    Better to play both but get neither.

    I split the difference; I got one that I didn't play, and played the
    one I didn't get.

    Actually, "Adios" looks somewhat interesting to me - done well, I
    quite enjoy a good 'walking sim' - but I'll wait until I get it on
    some other platform before I give it a chance. I'm still holding a
    grudge about Epic so I'll happily take their games but won't use their
    platform to actually play the games I get (yes, I'll be the first to
    admit that policy doesn't really make any sense ;-)

    Thanks. I took both. I doubt I will play Adios even though it has decent ratings.

    Then, no free Epic's games for you! (Soup Nazi's voice).
