If there's anything we don't need, it's more free games. So how 'bout
we claim a bunch more free games?

This week on Epic:

* Cat Quest II
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/cat-quest-ii-9dbefc
Just going to show that Indie developers aren't immune
to the lure of sequels over innovation, we have "Cat
Quest II". On the one hand, we have kitty-cats. On the
other hand, it's a JRPG-style adventure. On balance, I
think it's just a bit too cutesy and furry for me, but
others may appreciate the game-play.

* Orcs Must Die 3
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/combo-a7e03a
Just going to show that Indie developers aren't immune
to the lure of sequels over innovation... wait, didn't
I just say that? Anyway, it's another instance in the
Indie tower-defence series. It's fine for what it is,
if you like what it is. I tired of tower-defence years
ago, so it's really hard for me to get excited with
this one.

Like what you get this week? Don't? It doesn't matter. We'll get more
in a week. See you then; same Epic time, same Epic channel!

I like the art style in both of these games which may tempt me to try
them out. Thank you Spalls for the reminder.

I actually own CQII I never really played it, got it for my son. I did
play the origial, which was o.k. for a cat based RPG aimed at kids.

I have the original OMD, but didn't think much of it so never bothered
with the rest. I guess I'll pick them up for free.

Same. I tried OMD; it was fine. Actually, to be honest, I think it was
quite good for a tower-defence game. But, in the end, it /remains/ a
tower-defence game, and that's not a genre that has ever been able to
maintain my interest for very long. OMD3 is, I assume, of the same
quality and, if you've ever wanted to give the genre a try, it's
probably a good starting point.

But for myself, though The Number demands I click "add to library", I
can't see myself playing OMD3 any time soon.
