Elite Dangerous headlines next week
You can choose to look at the weekly Epic freebie as a glass half-full or half-empty situation this week. On one hand, we’re only getting one free game. That’s how it went last week too, whenwe only gotDungeons 3. Looking a gift horse in the mouth and all, we’ve been trained to expect two!
But, on the other hand, it’s a damn good freebie. Typing-action meets bullet-hell inThe Textorcist. Use your WPM to fight off your demons, use your arrow keys to keep from catching an evil spell with your face.The Textorcistis certainly unique in the way it makes you swap between typing and moving, but it probably won’t do your typing technique any favors.
Epic has another niche game on deck for next week, it’s just a much more expansive niche.Elite Dangerouswill be free on the Epic Games Store starting on November 19. Now that theHorizonsexpansion is permanently part of the base game, anyone who picks this up will more or less have the completeElite Dangerousexperience. It’s a smart way to expand the userbase before theOdysseyupdate arrives in 2021.
We’re back to two games next week, asElite Dangerousis accompanied by puzzle battle/visual novel hybridThe World Next Door.
