The weeks roll around, and Thursday is here once more. So let us do
what we do when we do Thursday's do. Which is to say, let us get free
games from Epic

* Black Book
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/black-book
An adventure with RPG elements and based on Slavic mythology. Which
all make it sound interesting until you notice it also uses card-based
battles. Meh.

* Dodo Peak
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dodo-peak-159276
A cutesy puzzle-platformer featuring an animal mascot; I thought we
left these behind in the 90s. Double-meh.

Well, the games are free; they've got that going for them. Other than
that? I suppose if the games are in genres you enjoy you may get a
kick out of them. Personally, I'm not particularly tempted. But decide
for yourself; you have seven days, as per usual.

Tried it, you nailed it. It is an interesting premise and lore, much
more than the other two card battlers I've tried. The card-based magic
battles are annoying though, so I'm going to have to say I'm just not a
fan of that.
