  • FREE GAME: Grime: Tinge of Terror

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 6 11:43:26 2023
    What does Epic have for us today? 'Cause it's Thursday, and on
    Thursdays, we get a free game from Epic. So what is it? Let's find
    out.


    * Grime: Tinge of Terror
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/grime
    Well, it's a new game for once, and not a repeat. Also not a
    free-to-play game, so that's two points in Epic's favor. "Grime" is a side-scrolling action/adventure game (think something along the lines
    of "Out of This World"). It's got some pretty graphics but the
    gameplay may not be satisfying; reviews indicate its a bit rough
    around the edges and verges on Souls-like difficulty at times. Still,
    I'll take it. What am I going to do, let a free game slip me by? I
    think not!


    Seven days to claim this one, as usual. Grab it, or not; your choice!

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    Bah, I blame NNTP propagation times. Ant's post wasn't there when I
    pressed "Send". I was robbed, I tell ya; robbed! ;-)

    Anyway, I am pretty sure that my post was the more interesting of the
    two. I am not biased. :)

    What's really funny is his is time stamped 10:34, and yours is 10:43,
    which is aggravating my dyslexia something fierce.
