Monday, nothing happened, nothing at all. So go check out what utter drivel is on Prime/Luna this month; we both need a laugh. Tuesday, Pit Panic got a release date, and Goose Byte Studios announced Sponge Break. Wednesday, AlcheMice (which means something different in Scotland) got a visual overhaul, and Xbox did enough layoffs to make the Microsoft CEO enough money to buy another yacht. Thursday, David covered what is available for Humble Choice this month, which is a damn sight better than Prime. Oh, also, I did a review of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and it might be one of the most positive reviews of it.

Moving on to the Epic Games Store, it is another triple bill of things you might be mildly interested in. We’ll start with the mobile offering because it is the one I am least interested in, Princess Farmer. I swear I’ve seen this in Prime or Epic before (or something very similar), but this is Samobee Games’ 2022 pixel art visual novel crossed with match-3 gameplay, not necessarily a bad thing. Still, after Steam’s sale, it is hardly pulling me away from DrainSim.

BEHEMUTT’s 2023 factory building management game, Nova Lands, on the other hand, might just interest me enough. Especially as it has been on my wishlist for a while before this. Similar to Princess Farmer, Nova Lands has a pixel art style and is quite colorful, but if I were being brutally honest, I think it is the visual novel part of the former that puts me off more than the base building survival of the latter. There is just that little bit more geared towards me, and it is for PC, not mobile.

Speaking of being geared towards me, we’ve got CrazyBunch’s 2025 tycoon management game Tattoo Tycoon. Which, again, I wouldn’t have been opposed to it being a Military Tattoo management game, but instead we’re talking about a Polynesian phrase rather than the Dutch one. Tattoo Tycoon sees you run a very basic tattoo shop in a tycoon style of gameplay; there really isn’t a longer way to explain that. Probably its biggest issue is that it doesn’t have as much creativity as you’d probably want from such a game. Plus, if you got it in March with Prime, you’ll already have it on Epic.

All this week, you can pick up Tattoo Tycoon, Nova Lands, and Princess Farmer on the Epic Games Store, and the Epic Games Store for mobile for the latter, until the 16th of July. Moving on to next week, we continue this merry-go-round of “I’m at least interested in one of these, not enough to play right now, but later.” Echo Generation: Midnight Edition is a beautiful, well-lit voxel version of Stranger Things with 90s nostalgia instead, while Luto is a walking simulator psychological horror. The perfect thing for the three hours of the day without sunlight here!
