Well, as far as games go, it's not a very exciting week on Amazon
Prime, but no sense being snobbish when there's free* games on the
line.
This week, we get:
- Shovel Knight Showdown
Another action platformer. The "Shovel Knight" games are generally well-regarded, but you have to be a fan of this sort of old-school
games. Myself, I played this sort of game in the 80s and - while I had
fun back then - don't really see a need to revisit the genre (and
visuals) when there are better games available. But that's just a
matter of preference and not a judgment on the game itself. Which is
fine, I guess.
- Cook, Serve, Delicious 3
I'm less sanguine about the CSD games, which I never thought were all
that good to begin with, and CSD3 is probably the weakest of the
three, confusing complexity with depth. Meh.

Remind me never to come visit your garden. ;-)
