Looks like something enjoyable:

Looks a bit Thimbleweed-y.

Oh, I forgot to look at the Epic Freebie yesterday as a result of that unexpected giveaway of The Division.
That might have been a pixelly one too. I think it was something to do with mechs, wasn't it?
Must remember to check on my PC.

there's a kind of pixelly turn based strategy sort of things with teeny tiny mechs free for a few days still, might be it?

Oh, is it turn based?

When I was getting The Division the other day I ended up looking at my Uplay library for the first time in ages and I realised Child Of Light was there. I'd forgotten I'd claimed that. I was gonna install it today but when I double checked the specs I also read that the combat is... turn based.

I've never been much of a fan of that particular style of game mechanics. The only games I've successfully managed to play that have had turn-based elements are those Star Wars KOTOR titles.

I suppose I'll grab the freebie anyway, even if it does end up being forgotten in another library.

The up-side of turn-based is that you don't have to panically bash everything in sight as fast as you can...
(and yes, panically is a word. Now.)

All combat is a bit panicky these days especially on a keyboard.

Panic Alley. A long, dark place.

It's the street where Harry Potter buys his anxiety.

"Yerrr parrt o' the family now, lassie," says Scottishy man with his less Scottishy friend.



Which means I'm now in the Thieves' Guild!
So I've now got some Thieves' Armour too. Yay, another outfit to carry!

Aaah, but look how sneaky I am in it...



Not just normal sneaky, but officially sneaky. Those guards having their lunch won't see or hear me floating by.
Maybe.
