Monday, Kingmakers got delayed days before release, and FM26 has refreshed tactics that we’ve known about for months. Tuesday, Blackwood is John Wick but from a budget PS3 era (in a nice way). Wednesday, Humble Choice for October was revealed, Devil Jam might be your Brutal Legend type jam, and skate. Season 1 is a thing because EA loves a live service. Thursday, PowerWash Sim 2 got its release date for this month, and as much as EA loves live service, Ubisoft loves pretending the game about politics isn’t political.

Moving on to the Epic Games Store this week, and I think I’m safe from selling my dad on either of these offerings. We’ll start with Gravity Circuit, an offering previously covered during Prime Gaming in August of last year. Check out this year’s October offerings. Launched in a year that Pizza Tower dominated, the overwhelmingly positive-reviewed Gravity Circuit brings all the 80s nostalgia of platformers with a hint of modernity. I won’t say that it is an exciting choice, but it is more than the other offering for PC.

In a break from being one of the other free offerings during the week, the mobile offering via the Epic Games Store for Android worldwide and iOS in the EU is the Double Dragon Trilogy. If you didn’t get enough of the 80s with a retro 2D platformer with neon colors, then Dotemu’s 2013 remake of the original arcade Double Dragon trilogy might have been for you. However, as I often say with these types of games, it is odd to put such a game on a touch screen where your fat thumbs get in the way. Take that from a man who gets lewd pictures of your dad all the time, thumbs cover up a lot.

The “second offering” isn’t really a game that is otherwise paid for, unless you’re criminally insane. Albion Online is one of those annoying MMORPGs that feed on “I need to log-in every day” mantras, all without engaging and entertaining gameplay to boot. So this week, much like me offering the residents of Hyland Point some tasty paracetamol mixed with heroin, you can pick up the “Rogue Journeyman Bundle” for Albion Online, netting you some armor and skins, 350 community Tokens, 500 Learning Points, 10 Adept’s Focus Restoration Points, and 10 Adept’s Tomes of Insight: i.e, the gameplay.

All this week, you can pick up Gravity Circuit and the “Rogue Journeyman Bundle” for Albion Online on the Epic Games Store for PC until the 16th of October. You also have until the 16th, where you can pick up the Double Dragon Trilogy on mobile for Android worldwide and iOS in Europe. Next week, you pick up Samorost 3 (oh yippie!) and Frictional Games’ 2023 title Amnesia: The Bunker. I wonder which one, the known “Oh, I like talking history and World Wars,” I would be talking about for longer next week. The mind can only wonder.
