It's Thursday? How can it be Thursday? I'm pretty sure it's only been
two or three days since the last time we did this. Has somebody been
using the Time Warp machine without authorization again? I hate it
when that happens. Oh well, at least we get free games.

* World War Z Aftermath
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/world-war-z
    A continuation/add-on to the World War Z game, which
    is included in this package. It's an zombie TPS game,
    and a fairly generic one at that, with its biggest
    gimmick being the large hordes of zombies it renders.
    It's mainly designed as an online co-op shooter, but
    you can play it solo. It's not bad -arguably even
    better mechanically than "Left For Dead"-- but it lacks
    in story and can be a bit grindy and dependent on its
    various DLC packages to spice up the main experience.
    That said, it isn't a bad game and if you want to run
    around shooting zombies, this game will do as well as
    any other. But if you're finding the whole 'killing
    zombies' thing a bit old in the tooth, this game won't
    convince you otherwise. Note: the base game was a
    freebie give-away back in March 2020, and I think you
    get the "Aftermath" add-on automatically, so you may
    already have this one on Epic.

Yep, the web site told me this. I told it to give me the new one! ;P

* Garden Story
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/garden-story
    A rather unusual JRPG where you're the heroic vegetable
    tasked with protecting your grove. It's an odd cross of
    Stardew Valley and the Legend of Zelda (more of the
    latter, though), with the usual retro-graphic sheen. It's
    not very difficult and a bit cutesy, but otherwise an
    okay title, if you're into that style of game. It could
    use a bit more polish though, with clumsy controls and
    unexciting combat. Overall, an okay game mainly aimed at
    fans of the classic JRPG genre who want something a bit
    different.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, pass. Like I have time to play games. :P

That's it for this week. You've got the usual seven days to claim
these before they're no longer free. Less if somebody starts playing
around with the time-warp machine again. Until next time!

Thanks again!
