"Mediatonic and The Irregular Corporation are today super thrilled and happy to announce that their puzzle/adventure game “Murder By Numbers” is now available on Stadia and the Epic Games Store." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The weekly Epic Game Store give-away has updated and 2 free games await you.
For those that are going to embark on ESO, do take in mind that it uses a "hybrid western/eastern" monetization style. So you have to buy each expansion pass and there is a monthly fee, that while not needed it does give you some QOL improvements.
It's not the worse monetization out there. But the monthly fee does piss off a reasonable amount of people.
There are plenty of things players are upset about with ESO monetization - the completely optional monthly subscription to ESO Plus isn't close to being one that pisses players off. For $15, you get access to every single piece of non-chapter DLC released for the game since 2014. You also get enough Crowns - the currency used in the ESO store - to buy any set of the dungeon DLC you like so you can play them after your subscription ends.
If you are familiar with Choose Your Own Adventure books, then you get the idea behind visual novels. Are these games worth your time?
I don't mind visual novel based games I own all the Nekopara games Code Realize, Song of Memories. I bought Re: Zero because I love the anime the day one collectors edition was worth it and I get to listen to Rem. Since I can't listen to Rem because she is still sawing logs in Season 2 of Re: Zero. Visual Novels may not appeal to a lot of people they are a great time killer and I enjoyed Re: Zero Prophecy of the Throne. If the Rising of the Shield Hero got a visual novel game I would be all over that as well because I also love that anime. I collect visual novel games because I really enjoy anime or anime style games any type of anime based game I will buy it.
2020 is (finally) coming to a close, and while it’s been an exciting year for AAA gaming, it’s also been a huge year for indie games.
