    Amazon Prime Gaming is still doing their 'weekly games' thing rather
    than the more convenient monthly give-aways. That just means more work
    for me; here I go, having to haul these (almost)freebies in from the
    garden shed. My back will never forgive me.

    Already announced was "Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition", so we'll
    ignore that. Let's focus on the newer games:

    * I Am Fish:
    "Finding Nemo escapes from the dentist" with the serial numbers rubbed
    off. Basically a physics-based puzzler.

    * Adios
    Mixing the joys of pig-farming and murders formatted as a walking sim.

    * Faraway: Arctic Escape
    An escape adventure game with flat-shaded visuals.


    Nothing to get excited about but none of them look awful either;
    assuming they're a genre you're interested in, you might get a kick
    out of them. If not, well, these are all quite skippable. But they're
    there if you want them.

    That's one I've been thinking about getting since I heard of it and so
    far I've enjoyed it. It's very much a walking simulator but I find the
    story unfolding, and your input into it, very engaging. Whether those
    choices will really make a difference to the conclusion, quite possible
    not but it still means you get to flesh out your backstory.

    One criticism I do have, the 'scene' markers (a big white box with a
    distance in them) are a bit of an immersion breaker.

    Still if, like me, you like a good walking sim then worth picking up.
