Prime Gaming 2 December 2024 (Extremely Grumpy Edition)

It's not really free games, but it's close enough. It's time for more
a "what crap is Amazon foisting on us this month!" look at Prime
Gaming. Should we see what's in the goodies bag this fortnight? Oh,
yes, let's!


* Shogun Showdown (via GOG)
    It has 'deck-building' elements. Oh, and it's rogue-like.
    Also, it has retro graphics. It's a trifecta of things
    that make me want not to play your game.


* Sir Whoopass: Immortal Death (via GOG)
    "Hey, lets point out all the stupid things CRPGs do, then
    do them anyway, except since we're self-awarely pointing out
    how dumb they are, it'll somehow make the game fun."
    Narrator: It doesn't.


* Overcooked! Gourmet Edition (via GOG)
    In case you didn't already get this game the dozen times
    it was free elsewhere.


* Riot - Civil Unrest (via GOG)
    I'm waiting for the USA 2025 expansion pack before playing
    this one.


* Moonscars (via GOG)
    Yet another metroidvania (okay, this one may be good)


* Juarassic World Evolution (via GOG)
    Yet another attempt to make Jurassic Park fun. Let it go
    guys; the first movie was great but it's getting really
    tired now.


* Elite Dangerous (via EPIC)
    Still think it would have been better if you could play
    it offline. (Okay, this one is good)


* Super Meat Boy (via EPIC)
    In case you didn't already get this game the dozen times
    it was free elsewhere.


* Mystery Case Files: Dalimar Legacy (via AMAZ)
    Oh look, it's a hidden object adventure game. How
    completely unexpected.


* Gloomy tales: One Way Ticket CE (via Luna)
    Oh look, it's a hidden object adventure game on a
    service nobody is interested in signing up for.
    How completely unexpected.



Hmmm. If you're exceptionally clever and aware, you may have noticed
that I'm not particularly impressed by the selection of games this
time. They're not terrible, but none of them excite me, and a lot of
them are just rehashes of freebies that have already been given away
too often elsewhere.

Well, I guess its too much to hope the quality of the previous weeks
offerings could have been maintained. We'll see if there's any
improvement in the next couple of weeks. See you all then.
