  • FREE GAME: Train Valley 2

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 13 11:04:44 2023
    Must. Have. Free. Games. The Number (tm) must go up!
    Must. ANNOUNCE. Free. Games. Posts must go up!
    Epic Games! Rescue me from both of these dilemmas!

    This week we get:


    * Train Valley 2
    Do you like board games? Do you like board games based on trains?? Do
    you like video games based on board games based on trains? Then guess
    what; you may like "Train Valley 2". Part "Railroad Tycoon", part
    "Mini Metro", it's as much about finding the perfect route as building
    up your train empire. It's a lot more relaxed than the original too.
    It's perhaps a bit on the 'casual' side of the gaming spectrum, but
    not too bad despite that.


    Epic is definitely offering slimmer pickings this year, with lots of
    tiny Indie titles like this one. Not all of them are stinkers though,
    although I think that says more about the inventiveness of the Indie
    developer than Epic's generosity. Will you take a chance on this
    week's game, or wait for something better next week (just so you know,
    you can do both!)

    I took it even though I 99% might not play it. :)
