So now that there's competition in this 'announce the free stuff on
Epic' circuit, I got to up my game if I wanna keep the title. But how
to do that? Songs? Jokes? Unexpected guest stars? Maybe... just cut to
the chase and announce the game? Nah, that last idea would never work.

#

* Sunderfolk
https://store.epicgames.com/p/sunderfolk-standard-edition-83c05e
A 'tactical co-op RPG', whatever that means. The game's
marketing is pretty light on what the actual game is about,
though, focusing mostly on its co-op playability. It does
have a single-player mode, though. I'm not sure I'll find
out more, however, since it also apparently uses a card-
based motif, and y'all know how I feel about that sort
of thing ;-)


* Telltale Batman: Shadows Edition https://store.epicgames.com/p/the-telltale-batman
This is the complete set of Batman games from Telltale,
including "Batman: The Telltale Series", "Batman: The Enemy
Within", and "Batman: Shadow Mode". And if you love Batman,
this is a no-brainer. But in the end this is still a
Telltale adventure game, which means they are fairly light
on gameplay and really, little more than animated comic
books. Which isn't to say they're bad games, but they're
definitely not to everyone's taste.

So, seven days to grab the freebies, then they're gone. Better hurry;
your library isn't going to clutter itself up with 'games-you-will-
never-play' all by itself, you know!

Comments from another group:
"Sunderfolk I've been looking into getting for a long, long time. Couch
co-op Gloomhaven-lite where you use your phone as your controller for the game. "
"Sunderfolk is really great and is fairly kid friendly. If you like
Gloomhaven but don't want something quite as punishing you can play with the whole fam I'd say it's great"

* Telltale Batman: Shadows Edition >https://store.epicgames.com/p/the-telltale-batman

Great move, putting both games in one bundle. I've finished the first title, and though finding the QTEs occasionally frustrating, was very
pleased overall.

Another group? Are you sneaking off to have a relationship with
another forum?

And are they into cross-posting? ;-)
