Let's sing (you all know the words)!

Games, games, games, games!
Games, games, games, games!
FREE GAMES!
Games, games, games, games!
Games, games, games, games!

This week we get:

* The Silent Age
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-silent-age-eb6972
No. Just no. I know this adventure game /looks/ like it might be good;
a fun throwback to point-n-click adventures of the past. An
interesting story about post-apocalyptic worlds and using time-travel
to avert that dystopia. I thought so too. Then I played it. This game
is awful. The puzzles are simplistic to the point of being brain-dead,
the dialogue is uninteresting and that time-travel gimmick is barely
used. This is a dull, poorly made game and even free it isn't worth
getting.

* Tunche
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/tunche
Well, the art-style looks nice (it's hand-drawn, the marketing says).
The gameplay? I'm less entranced; it's a side-scrolling brawler with
(of course) "rogue-like elements". Is it good? No idea; the reviews
are positive (of course, they were positive for "Silent Age" too).
Maybe this satisfies the craving of a certain niche of gamer, but I'm
not in that niche. And frankly, any game associated with "The Silent
Age" can't help but look the worse for it.

You have the usual seven days to claim these titles... if you dare.

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