Thankfully, the wait wasn’t that long and (as a nice bonus point) my progress from the demo carried over to the full game. Given the title’s focus on Groundhog Day style repetition and cycles of looping gameplay in which every attempt provides some degree of incremental progress it was a nice bonus to be able to hit the ground running this way.
Starting today, Loop Hero and Bloons TD 6 are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until August 10 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
In no particular order, here are my top picks for the best modern card-based video games to play today.
Inscryption (SPOILER)needs its own standalone from the first act. That part was so fun.
