Another month means another batch of “free” Amazon Prime games. This time around, Amazon is giving away what I (and many others) consider to be one of the best PC games ever made: Civilization 4. Beyond that, you can currently grab the also-excellent Into The Breach for nothing and over the next week weeks, even more games will be available for Amazon Prime subscribers.
If you hop over to Amazon Prime Gaming and are currently subscribed to Amazon Prime, you can snag PC copies of Sid Meier’s Civilization 4: The Complete Edition, Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft Series, and Into the Breach. Then, throughout the rest of September, Amazon will add more free games, including Spelljammer, Pixel Cafe, and Tower of Time. Even better, Civ4, Spelljammer, and other PC games given away this month are delivered via GOG codes, which means once you claim them, you own them completely with no DRM. Now ain’t that nifty!
I personally think that Civilization 4 is the pinnacle of the series, even if former Kotaku writer Luke Plunkett prefers Civ5 over it. Yeah, some bits of it are a little tedious and annoying, but the vibes are immaculate, and most of it still holds up perfectly today. Plus, it will run easily on any modern PC. If you were let down by Civ6 or Civ7, check out Civilization 4. Just set aside like 9 hours of your day first, as it will consume them in a flash.
Here’s the full list of games, as well as when they will be available for free on Amazon Prime and which storefronts they use. Oh, and keep in mind these are all PC games; sorry, console-only players.
