Now here was a title that looked interesting, and for the low low price of free, how could I not put it in the backlog at least. But when the dice called it up, I gave it a closer look and found the game's reputation to be lacking. So I came in expecting some jank... and jank I got! But not nearly as bad as I expected. Step inside.
And we finally come back to another game I got free from the Epic game store. In this case, I didn't walk in with the highest hopes for the title: I knew it was supposed to be a horror game and that reviewers liked it a lot, but I don't hold a lot of faith in what reviewers say these days. But still intrigued, I installed... and I'm glad I did. While much more gloomy then scary, this was absolutely an experience to have.
When I played the first game in this set, I found myself wanting more at the end. It was a fairly easy game, but was over all too quickly. So when this game came up, how could I say no? I gotta admit, Im glad I didn't.
Hi everyone! Almost half the year has gone by and we have only begun to fight! If you have been a part of Extra Life, seriously take a bow. You are part of one of the biggest ways gamers have been able to make the world better for those who truly need it. If you haven't joined yet and want to use your hobby to help sick children (around the world or even just around you), now's the time to sign up!
If you do not know what Extra Life is, it is a charity event where gamers raise money via the Children's Miracle Network and do so by playing video games. Donations are all handled by CMN and culminates to a 24 hour gaming marathon in November. The official day this year is Nov 5th, but this is nothing if not flexible: Many will and usually do take a rain date, making the weekend after another big one... as well as doing marathon drives on the way! To take part, just go to the site and click the sign up button on the page (or you can follow the link above. It's really that simple, and it isn't just video games. Any kind of gaming works from card and board to VR. Just let the world see what you are doing so they can cheer you on and help you support the hospital you are playing for. I myself have been playing since year zero when it was not so much a massive push by the gamer community, but a single website playing to honor a single lost soul (Rest in Peace, Victoria) and help out the hospital that was there for her during her fight with cancer. It felt amazing then back in 08, and it still does now, so I implore you to join us!
And if you don't feel you can do this, or just don't play games, that is ok. You can also help by donating. On the main page there is also a donate button to just help in general... or you can find your favorite gamers and donate to them directly. But if you would like to help us, I have to humbly thank you. You can find our team here and on the side of this site in the pages list. We even have my person twitch stream linked so while there, you might well see some of the games you will see on the big day so get excited! (We even have the link to the team page on the twitch page so if you join us during game time, you can find and help us out there too!)
Either way, thank you for listening, and hope to see you on the big day.
This was a breath of fresh air! Short, sweet, fun as hell, and still managing to have one hell of a great sucker-punch, and all for the price of free? How can I not say to step inside and have a look at it?
