Before Epic Games announced GTA, I was gonna say this month hasn’t been a good month for free games. However, if you haven’t picked up the game, now’s the perfect time to snatch it. Since we’re all locked in until who knows when might as well play a game that even at full price is worth playing. Besides that, nothing has really caught my eye, and I don’t want to become a pro in Farming Simulator. So, Epic, you’re good. Sony, Microsoft, and Amazon, let’s try again next month.
