The groundhog saw his shadow, but Amazon Prime subscribers have plenty of ways to keep boredom at bay! There are 16 games available for you to claim for free to fill your game libraries and get you through the cold days ahead. Don’t forget the window to claim them is limited. Don’t take too long to decide if you’re going to collect them!
Let’s break it down!
Free games from Amazon Luna, available through Amazon Prime Gaming, can be downloaded and played in the Amazon Games app. There are three titles on their platform, and they are compatible only with PC.
City builder fans, this one is for you! Technotopia gives you a deck of cards you can use to place various types of buildings and infrastructure, like skyscrapers, residential, highways, and parks. But building a utopia is not easy. You’ll also have to mediate between the city’s four factions: capitalists, aristocrats, politicians, and the common people.
You’ll be called on to make important decisions like housing victims of fire, handling gangs, and meeting the needs of all of the factions equally. Many different people will call the city home, including folks like “hackers, oligarchs, criminals, and inventors.”
This Amazon Prime offering is a relaxing point-and-click adventure featuring hidden objects and other puzzles. The description says, “The fate of the realms is uncertain, with evil abound. Use your trusty owl companion and the powers of a magical amulet to discover the ultimate truth.”
Once you link your Amazon Prime and Epic Games Store accounts, claiming this game is a piece of cake. There are two titles available from the Epic Games Store this month.
If you haven’t already collected all of the Civilization games, here’s your chance to add Civ VI to your collection. Take on the role of a world leader and build up your empire to reach victory through one of multiple possible victory conditions. If you don’t have it, get it.
The 11 remaining Amazon Prime Gaming free titles are all from GOG.com, and although most are PC-only, three titles are also available for Mac. To claim these games, grab the claim code and enter it in the GoG app on your computer.
ELDERBORN is described as “a metal action fantasy slasher with brutal FPP melee combat and Souls-like RPG character progression.” It promises 11 weapons, character progression and a skill system, a large number of enemies with varied fighting styles, and an original heavy metal soundtrack.
Harold Halibut’s art style is enough to capture the attention of any animation fan. You play as Harold, the lab assistant to the lead scientist on an ark spaceship that fled Earth in search of a new planet. But that ship is now sunk in the ocean of an alien world. Most people are resigned to this life in their city, but the scientist continues to search for a way to take off again. But then, “one fateful encounter plunges Harold into a world no one could have imagined.”
If you’ve been following along with the free games, you’ve probably already collected Gunslugs and Gunslugs Two. This month, we have another entry in the platform shooter franchise, so you can keep on playing! (And if you didn’t claim Gunslugs or Gunslugs 2, if you’re quick, they’re still available.)
This tactical shooter puts you in control of a variety of different vehicles, like mechs and tanks, as a mercenary who has betrayed the planet and is seeking to visit destruction on the city, Solo Nobre. The environments are destructible. There are campaign and freelance modes. And music is from the artist Makeup & Vanity Set.
GoG.com and Amazon Prime Gaming have another round of three classic Dungeons & Dragons gold box games available this month. Released back in the early 1990s, the gold boxes were very recognizable to gamers.
You’re the son of a dishonored sultan who is engaged to a caliph’s daughter in the style of the Arabian Nights.
This early kingdom simulator lets you build up your stronghold in a quest to become emperor. You can choose one of three paths to victory and build structures, manage the kingdom, and experience randomly generated scenarios.
Choose one of three characters and explore dungeons while fighting monsters and avoiding traps. Your quest: deal with an evil necromancer “wreaking havoc upon the surrounding lands.”
The games from Amazon Prime Gaming give you quite a lot to choose from to fill your month. My opinion is that you should claim everything and then jump into whatever strikes your fancy when you have some free time. Note that game availability varies, so some will expire sooner than others. So don’t delay!
When you claim your free games, they are yours forever! So add them to your collection right away, and you’ll never be bored. Don’t forget to follow us because we’ll keep you up on the latest gaming news! And head over to Total Apex Media on YouTube for game livestreams, podcasts, and more!
Happy gaming!
