This package expresses the only universal desire of mankind. No, no RPGs and adventures – free stuff! (Picture: Amazon)
Do you like the game? Do you like not spending money? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Because Amazon gave away $72 worth of free video games (rated on Steam) during the month of May to Prime members.
Not a member? No problem! Amazon offers a 30-day free trial, so if you want to take advantage of all those free games, sign up here. Once the trial is over, you can subscribe to Amazon Prime for $13 per month (or $119 per year) or just cancel it altogether. No strong emotions.
In addition to house games that change monthly, Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime) offers free level-up options for characters, boosts, skins, upgrades and more. And you can keep the games in your digital library even if you cancel the service. Win-win!
To take advantage of this amazing freebie, you’ll need the Amazon Games app. Games can be played on Windows desktops and laptops, Android smartphones and tablets, as well as Google Chromecast, PS5 and PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, Android TV and more. Enough options for you?

Spectator

How about a bit of fun and dystopian intrigue? Beholder is set in a totalitarian country, and you play a role as a state-installed landlord in an apartment building.

The good news is that the building’s rent is controlled. Ba-DUM-pum!

The blind prophet
Really, the protagonist here should have known he wasn’t going to have his life cut out when he moved to a place called Rotbork. (Picture: Amazon)
Here is a game that offers the player a compelling combo of grandiosity and nihilism. The Blind Prophet is a point-and-click adventure game set in the post-apocalyptic town of Rotbork. You play as the apostle Bartholomeus and your mission is to fight the Great Evil in hopes of maintaining a scrap of civilization. Along the way, you’ll uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the devastated cityscape.

A blind legend
A fully immersive audio adventure delivered in binaural 3D sound? We are all ears! (Picture: Amazon)
Another “Blind” protagonist, and this game takes that concept to the extreme. In fact, A Blind Legend is not actually a video game but an immersive audio experience, thanks to its binaural 3D sound. You play as Edward Blake, who, accompanied by his daughter, Louise, travels the Kingdom of the High Castle, navigating its perils and facing its enemies.
Buy it: A Blind Legend, free with 30-day Prime Gaming trial (was $7), amazon.com
Healer’s Quest
Is there a doctor in the county? Medieval carnage meets modern comedy in this quirky adventure. (Picture: Amazon)
Think of Healer’s Quest as an RPG (role-playing game) version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but you’re playing as a healer in a fantasy world and your quest party are incompetent idiots. Ah…even in the fantasy-adventure-videogame world, healthcare workers can’t take a break!
Buy it: Healer’s Quest, free with 30-day Prime Gaming trial (was $15), amazon.com
