I told you last week I'd be back in seven days. Did you think that was
an idle threat? Did you think you could escape? 'Cause here I am
again, to tell you about more free games.

More games, you ask? More games, I say. More games like these:


* The Darkside Detective https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-darkside-detective-02fd5a
Let's cut to the chase: it's a retro-graphic point-n-
click adventure game. Whatever else the game is, if that
genre doesn't appeal to you, you need to just move on
because this game isn't going to change your opinion. But
if you've some interest in that style of game, "Darkside
Detective" is a weird cross of Cthulhu-style horror and
LucasArts-style adventure wackiness. I like it, but I like
the genre as a whole.


* The Jackbox Party Pack 4 https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/jackbox-party-pack-4
This is a compilation of several games: "Fibbage 3", "Survive
the Internet", "Monster Seeking Monster", "Bracketeering"
and "Civic Doodle"; all 'party-games' mainly intended to be
played with others. Except I don't find the games very
interesting and I can't imagine any of my friends would
either (they're a bit try-hard in their attempts to be wacky
and funny). Definite meh all around.



That's this week games. I'll be back in seven days for sure... but who
knows. I might be back earlier. Keep an eye out; you never know when
next I'll be lurking near you. ;-)

WHAT?!
Both of these are ones I already own! Wild!!

Anyways, my thoughts on them:

Darkside Det is a fantastic game with humor that I enjoy, even if it's
not super replayable. I will say that it does feel pretty short compared
to the sequel, but it has Ace Attorney vibes and is a very cool game
overall


JB4... I'd say has 2 amazing games (Fibbage and STI), one that is too complicated but a cool concept (MSM) and 2 GARBAGE games.

StI is genuinely one of my favorite games of the entire series, I've
gotten so many good screenshots out of it and its great its so good

Fibbage is well Fibbage, its not as good as Fibbage 4 IMO but its still
a pretty good time
