[Quick, look over there! Ha! Now that you're so distracted you won't
notice me slipping this announcement into the queue four hours early.
Hopefully Epic won't change what the lineup just to screw me over!

Free games. Free games never ending. An incomprehensible large library
of games, the doom of every PC gamer. This is the fate that awaits
you. Welcome to Epic games.

First, the obvious: yes, this is another duplicate.
Epic offered it as a freebie back in December 2023.
But hey, that's not so bad. There were so many games
being tossed out back then that maybe you missed it,
so here's another chance. "Ghostrunner" is a stylish
first-person hack-n-slasher, although it's as much
about the platforming as it is the combat. Think of
it as a bastard love-child of a Souls-like and
Mirror's Edge. It's a weird combo and imperfectly
realized, but fun and stylish. Who doesn't want
to play a coked-out cyber-ninja murdering anything
that wanders in his path?


Tick-tock, goes the clock. Free for seven days, then you gotta pays.
Don't wait, game's great.

Aaaaaand.... it's Wednesday, isn't it?

Fuuuuuuuuucccccccc...

Quick, look over there!

Now that you're distracted, I will make a quick getaway and we'll all
forget I just did something so stupid, okay?

Oh. So now I know I'll be disappointed when you redo that post tomorrow.

I just assumed you invented time travel, honestly. But mildly innacurate
time travel, because that's the only way to fly.

Also... check out "3 body problem" on Netflix. Good fun.

That would be the biggest waste of time travel ever.

I must've missed this last December. Anyways, I tried the demo at some
point but when it came to bullet dodging I was rubbish and got killed
every time. I remember thinking that's what you get for bringing a
knife to a gun fight. But maybe I'll try the full game.
