Ah, October. The month when pumpkin spice infiltrates every corner of existence and gamers eagerly await their treat bag from the Amazon overlords. Oh, and Amazon Luna has added new games for Prime members! Let’s rummage through this digital goodie bucket, shall we?
The “Eclectic is an Understatement” Lineup
Alien: Isolation
Nothing says “Happy Halloween” like being stalked by a xenomorph. It’s like playing hide-and-seek with your cat, if your cat were seven feet tall and had acid for blood. Cuddles, anyone?
Mortal Shell
For those who find Dark Souls too cuddly and their controllers insufficiently broken. Perfect for masochists or anyone who thinks “git gud” is a legitimate life philosophy.
Dusk
Perish
Tormented Souls
Amid Evil
Valfaris
Doomblade
Monster Harvest
Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine
Remember that Prime subscribers can play Fortnite, Trackmania, XDefiant and many more games on Luna.
Final Thoughts
Look, I’m not saying Amazon pulled names out of a hat to create this month’s lineup, but if they did, at least it was a very big, weird hat. From cosmic horror to whatever the hell Dr. Fetus is cooking up, October’s games are a real potpourri of “Sure, why not?”.
Will you find your new gaming obsession here? Maybe. Will you download at least three of these, play for 20 minutes, and then forget about them until your hard drive screams for mercy? Absolutely.
But hey, that’s the beauty of these Prime game drops. It’s like a digital version of dumpster diving behind a GameStop – you never know what you’ll find, but you’re definitely going to need a shower afterwards.
Now excuse me while I go clear my schedule. I’ve got some virtual lockers to hide in and mutant vegetables to harvest. And if you need me, I’ll be the one crying in the corner after my 47th death in Mortal Shell. Happy gaming, you masochists.
