Is it Thursday? I'm pretty sure it's Thursday. Yesterday was
Wednesday, I think, so it seems to follow that today should be
Thursday. Yes, it must be Thursday. And if it's Thursday, you know
what that means: free games from Epic!

And what free games do we get today, assuming today really is - as I
suspect - Thursday? Why, we get:


* Breathedge
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/breathedge
An "open world survival game"... in space! Collect space trash to turn
into tools to build better tools and vehicles and weapons, to help you
explore further reaches of space to find more trash, and so on and so
on, ad infinitum. Well, its graphics look a bit nicer than
Minecraft's, anyway. Reviews indicate various technical issues and
poor pacing, but otherwise it looks like a solid example of the genre.


* Poker Club
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/all-dlc/poker-club-6e18ee
This will probably surprise you, but "Poker Club" is a game where...
you play poker. I know, right? It's so out of left field! There's more
to it than that - there's a whole Poker Tour and online tournaments
too, but at it's heart this is just a fancier poker game. It's got a
lot of rough edges but you'll be able to overlook those if you like
playing cards. But if not, I doubt this game will do much to entertain
you.


Tick-tock; seven days to claim these. Or maybe more. Or less.
Depending on whether or not it's really Thursday.

Uh... you left out the best part of this game. Or at least best part
of the description of this game:

Survive in outer space! Together with your immortal chicken,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
discover the truth behind your sudden spaceship crash. Craft
tools, pilot vehicles, and even control space stations to survive
and explore the wreckage.

How many space survival games have you partnered with a chicken?
Let alone an immortal chicken?

It could only be better if it said it was an immortal space chicken.
But I guess that's too much to hope for in a game description, and we're
stuck with just an immortal presumably-terrestrial chicken.

Claimed! Can we eat this space chicken? :P
