FREE GAME: Dark and Darker

It's Day five of the Epic Game Store "Hey-We-Got-You-To-Visit-With-
The-Promise-Of-A-Free-Game-So-Might-As-Well-Buy-Something-
Maybe-Please?" Holiday Give-Away.*

I'll be AFK when the freebie is actually released so I'm posting a bit
early; therefore, I've had to use my psychic powers to predict what
game they're offering. We'll see how accurate that prediction was in a
few hours.

We've had four games already, and what games they've been (no really,
what games were they? I can't remember; they were pretty forgettable
offerings). But I'm sure today's game will make us rethink what it
means to get a free game from Epic!

And that game is (maybe)...


- Dark and Darker (with Legendary Status DLC)

      Somebody at Epic must love dungeon crawlers; this is
      like the third or fourth one we've gotten in recent
      history. "Dark and Darker" is an online PVP game; a
      first-person dungeon crawler where you need worry not
      only about the various monsters and traps but also
      the other players. The base game is free; the
      'Legendary Status" DLC adds a variety of QOL features
      that they ripped out of the base game to make you pay
      for it later. Mechanically, the game itself is fine,
      except that the community suffers from the usual
      online toxicity and the focus on PVP strips away a
      lot of the fun that you'd otherwise get in a game
      like this. Overall, a low-average game. But I guess
      if you like online play or really love dungeons,
      maybe pick this one up?


You know how it goes; you've got 24 hours to claim this one before its
gone. Remember, whether you like the game or not is unimportant.
Whether you WANT it or not is unimportant. What is important is The
Number. Take the game!


Feel free to comment on my predictive abilities. Was I right? If I was
wrong, well, know that I tried, and anyway I'm sure that Ant will
swoop in and provide the correct information. If I was right, also
know this: tomorrow's sports-ball scores are three to nought, to the
home team. You're welcome.
