Greetings and salutations, fellow humans. Free games time again. You
know the drill; head on over to Epic and click the 'add to library'
links. Remember, a cluttered video game library is a happy video game
library.
This week's clutter includes:
* Industria
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/industria Although the title might bring to mind a factory-
automation management sim game, "Industria" is in
fact a first-person shooter set in a sci-fi/alt-
universe cold-war setting where you rampage through
East Berlin shooting robots. It's a pretty and
atmospheric corridor shooter; not very long and it
probably could stand a bit more polish (balancing and
bugs are both frequent complaints by reviewers),
but overall it's a solid B-list title. I think I'll
give it a try.
* Lisa: The Definitive Edition
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/lisa-the-joyful-219c24 A 'complete' edition that includes "Lisa: The First",
"Lisa: The Painful" and "Lisa: The Joyful", two Indie
RPGs with a side-scrolling retro-graphic'd viewpoint.
I don't know anything about the game and it generally
has good reviews... but on first glance, I can't say
this is a game I'd want to play. It just looks ugly,
not only because of its old-school graphics but
unappealing character and monster designs, and boring
map layout. I guess it has a sort of weird Lynchian
vibe that might appeal to some, but I'm not sure I'm
in the target demographic.
Is your library now appropriately cluttered? You have seven days to
add to the mess!
