Store freebies? It must have been torture for you. But don't worry;
I've got you. Let's go lock and see what freebie is waiting this week.
  * Deadtime Defenders
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deadtime-defenders-3e9fc8
     A side-scrolling shooter against various monsters;
     wander about, collect new weapons, level up... It's
     all rather uninspired. Visually, it looks like a game
     I used to play on my iPhone ten years ago. It probably
     doesn't help that it's an abandoned Early Access game.
     It's not terrible but I just don't see the point.

I instantly regretted cluttering up my epic library with this.

* Touch Type Tale
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/touch-type-tale
     It's "Typing For the Dead" crossed with real-time
     strategy. Type words to vanquish attacking enemies,
     collect resources or upgrade buildings. I guess if
     you're into this sort of 'typing-tutor-crossed-with-
     games', it's unique enough to be interesting, but if
     you can already type (or just find the whole concept
     dull) this isn't the game to convince you otherwise.
     Even without the typing bit, the mechanics are a bit
     wonky.

Maybe one of the kids will try this at least. *shrug*
