Spooky season is officially upon us with Halloween approaching at a rapid pace. While you might not be spending your days carving pumpkins quite yet,Amazonhas certainly been getting into the spirit of the holiday with these new Prime Gaming offers.
If you’re not familiar with Prime Gaming, I personally think that it’s one of the best (and most underrated) perks of having anAmazon Primemembership. It should be regarded right up there with Prime Delivery andPrime Video. Every month Amazon gives away loads of games on a wide range of platforms, including Amazon Luna, theEpic GamesStore, GOG, in addition to its own PC gaming launcher.
Unlike many other subscription services, lots of these games are yours to keep forever. You simply need to head over to thePrime Gaming homepageand click ‘claim game’ before it’s too late. Last week I highlighted how you couldget two of my favorite Lego games for free, but this latest batch of titles might be some of the very best yet.
You will need to be an Amazon Prime member to claim these games, but luckily eligible new subscribers can use the trial below to get their hands on them for free. Your subscription will then renew $9.99 / £8.99 if it’s not cancelled before its renewal date.
Aliens, demons, and ghosts
By far my favorite game on offer today isAlien: Isolation, which you can now play viaAmazon Lunaat no additional charge as an Amazon Prime member. An incredibly faithful rendition of theAlienuniverse set 15 years after the first movie, it’s a fantastic experience whether you’re familiar with the franchise or not. It’s got creepy androids, a decaying space station, and of course a roaming Xenomorph to absolutely scare your pants off.
Best of all, some elements from the game appeared in the recent Alien: Romulusfilm - making it a fantastic follow-up if you saw it in cinemas. Just bear in mind that your access to the game is via Amazon’s cloud gaming service, so you will need a strong internet connection and a compatible device to play.
If you would rather get your hands on something that you can play without an internet connection, a Windows Store copy ofDoom Eternalis also up for grabs. This hyper-violent first-person shooter (FPS) has you ripping and tearing your way through hell as the nameless slayer.

You also shouldn’t miss the free GOG key forBioshock Remastered, an enhanced version of the absolutely timeless and surprisingly thoughtful shooter. If its creepy genetically modified little sisters aren’t enough to give your spine a tingle, then the haunted world ofDreadOut 2might be more your speed.
This indie horror game from Indonesia has been on my radar for a while, as I quite enjoyed my time in the first one. It’s effectively a modern take onFatal Frame / Project Zero, seeing you taking on ghosts as a young woman armed with a smartphone camera in grimy, derelict buildings.
For even more creepiness,Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto EditionandPriestSimulator: Vampire Showare also up for grabs. This is on top of loads of other non-scary games, includingTomb Raider: Legend,Spirit of the North, No Straight Roads, Borderlands 2, and much more.
Redemption instructions for each title are available when you claim them on thePrime Gamingwebsite.
