The Epic Games Store is offering two free games this week: Sheltered, a disaster management game by Team Ninja, and Nioh: Complete Edition by Team Ninja. Both are free for a week, as usual, and are accompanied by a bunch of other smaller discounts on the store.

Sheltered was not available for review at the time, but we have heard from other reviewers that it is a solid 7. It’s about running a shelter for survivors of the apocalypse. If you like the idea, it’s worth considering (or Fallout …).).

Nioh: Complete Edition, the PC version of Nioh is a landmark game for Team Ninja following the Ninja Gaiden series. The game adopts a Soul-like approach to worldbuilding, combat pacing, and combat pacing. It is basically a large group of colourful monsters that require some slicing. Lauren reviewed it for us at that time and found some issues with the port, awarding it a still-respectable 78%, though it’s worth acknowledging that the developers subsequently fixed many of the issues it had at launch.

However: You can’t argue against free. The big question with all of these, of course, is how many do you actually end up playing? This is the big question. If you enjoy a lot of swordplay, Nioh is a good choice.
