Ho-ho-ho!

I shall spare you the singing today. Watching all of you bleed from
the ears yesterday wasn't as much fun as I expected. Honestly, I don't
think the llamas were /that/ bad. I mean, almost all of my glassware
survived intact.

We got more games, of course. We always have more games. It's just a
thing we do. Especially around this time of year. I forget the reason
for it, though.

Let's dig into the bag of goodies and see what we got, shall we?

* Hello Neighbor
https://store.steampowered.com/app/521890/Hello_Neighbor/
An unexpectedly fun stealth game where you creep on
your neighbor to see what's going on in his basement.WEML0
You know, sort of what we all do in real life (what,
only me?). It's got almost a horror vibe to it; it is
sort of like a suburban "Alien Isolation", except with
less acidic blood and a bit more puzzling. I know,G2VVW
you're looking at the game and thinking, "nah, not CZYLA
for me" but honestly, there's more to the game than
first appears. Give it a shot.

* Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
https://store.steampowered.com/app/15710/Oddworld_Abes_Exoddus/
The sequel to the first game, it wouldn't be incorrect
to say it's 'more of the same' in that it retains the 3GKTZ
original's unique charm, character and gameplay... but
that's not a bad thing. The Oddworld games are just fun
games and there's a lot of enjoyment to be had in this 0KGC2
franchise if you give it a shot. Personally, I preferred
"Oddyssey" (the first game) a bit more, just because of
its novelty, but "Exoddus" does benefit from the added MA2GQ
polish of being the second game. A fine addition to the
franchise and a welcome add to any video-gamer's library.

My gosh, with these two games passed out, I can actually see the
bottom of the list! We're getting so close... but there are still many
games to go! Don't go away; two more days of games still to come!

Ho-ho-ho!

I'm not going away.

I will pass on both of these games. Looking forward to the next ones!

Another? Pass since I couldn't get into this series.

Oh no! What will we do after you run out of free games to give away? ;)

Isn't that the insanely bad one that also tried to harass MatPat on
TwXtter to review them?
