Naturally, you probably care the most about the free games and not the add-ons. Granted, that purple tint does sound freaking premium. But, you no doubt want to know what’s really on offer for Prime Gaming this January. Well, as the headline already spoiled, Void Bastards is now up for grabs. Saddling up next to it is Close to the Sun, the game that desperately wanted to be BioShock. You can also claim Along the Edge, Sheltered, Alt Frequencies, and When Ski Lifts Go Wrong. I think I’ll need to play the last one just on the fantastic name alone.
We are experienced with a couple in the aforementioned list. Our own Andrew Farrell absolutely loved Void Bastards, giving it a 9/10 and saying it’s “a terrific game that balances the joy of exploration with the fear of failure in a wonderful way.” Sadly, such enthusiasm wasn’t shared for Close to the Sun. Jason Rodriguez gave the game a 6/10, saying the game’s “bland narrative and lack of challenging mechanics, as well as being light on the scares, make for a rather dull experience.” Well, they can’t all be great. You might have a different opinion, however.
Prime Gaming in January brings more loot
Prime Gaming has more to greedily nab this month. You have until January 15 to get the Winter Bundle for Fall Guys, which will wrap your dorky jelly bean in comfy-ass cold-weather gear. The service is also offering the Kosatka Submarine Sonar Station and up to $1 million in fake money in GTA Online. The former station is connected to the game’s latest update, The Cayo Perico Heist. There’s a lot more, including content for Paladins, Smite, RuneScape, and Star Wars: Squadrons. Check out the Prime Gaming page to see it all.
