I’ve been eying control & now that I’ve finally upgraded my gfx card to a 2070S, was wondering if the game is worth spending money on or if I should wait for the next sale for it to get cheaper?

I almost bought Control today (using up my $10 voucher too), but since Epic is charging in USD the currency conversion to my local monies is not so great right now! Aborted.

We just streamed a bit of co-op for this and it. Was. AMAZING. And hilarious. Get it y’all.

I’ve played a couple hours of it so far and I fully intend to finish. It’s great. Looks amazing even without raytracing so I think you’ll really dig it as a game to show off your 2070S. Go for it.

This week’s free games are:

We’re in the mood for mystery. Investigate and solve the unexplainable in Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments and Close to the Sun, yours to keep on the Epic Games Store!

I recall Tom playing the Close to the Sun game and getting suck on one of the puzzles. :)

I miss the weekly video game streams. :(

Wow Just Cause 4 free next week! Epic is the gift that keeps on giving.

Woah! Really? Man, that’s amazing.

Yeah, TRDS is really good. My kids have played about 2 dozen hours of it in split-screen now, and even roped me in for a little while. It’s shenanigans all the time.

It took them year and three months, but Epic finally gave out free game (Close to the Sun) that I

  1. Want to play
  2. Do not already have

Awesome! And JC4 next week might be decent fun too.

You should still accept all the weekly freebies and put them in your library in preparation for the Gabe apocalypse.

I do that, why not have a backup for some games.

I played some JC4 during the free weekend on Steam. Came to the conclusion that I’d rather re-play JC3 instead (which I have not done yet). I’ll be happy to snag a free copy though.

JC4 is a nice freebie. With all the remasters/remakes happening it would be cool to have JC2 be one of those.

I got the latest freebies, including Sherlock Holmes Crimes & Punishments, which looks like a good game. But when I try to install it, the Epic launcher says it’s “unavailable.” I notice Hob, from last week, is also unavailable. What’s up with that?

Try restarting the client.

That did the trick! Embarrassed I didn’t think of it. Thanks.

No worries. Pretty sure I’ve had that happen.

That’s one feature of Steam they didn’t need to replicate. :D

It wouldn’t be PC anything if “have you tried turning it off and on again?” wasn’t a possible solution.
