• Amazon Weekly Games: Peaky Blinders & Book of Demons

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 24 11:21:34 2023
    This week's 'freebies' on Amazon Prime Gaming:

    * Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
    Apparently based on some TV show. Don't know anything about the show,
    and don't know anything about the game. Don't really care either.

    * Book of Demons
    An action-RPG, which is good. But it uses collectible cards, which is
    bad. It's free(ish), which is good. But it's visuals are very Indie,
    which is bad. But it comes with a free frogurt, which is good. Except
    I lied about the frogurt, which is bad.

    And now I've run out of things to say. Look, over there; a
    three-headed monkey!

    I did grab this one to try but I don't have my hopes up as the reviews
    suggest it's going to be a game that has a good central premise but a
    not so good implementation.

    Well, I'm glad that somebody recognized the reference, and I didn't
    completely waste the 150 neurons used to eternally store that Simpsons
    quote which might otherwise have been used for something more
    important.

    I just finished playing Book of Demon's free Steam weekend a couple
    weeks ago! Great game. Yes, it is different from Diablo. Its tutorial
    said it wasn't your typical game like Diablo. :)
