Still not free games, but games nonetheless.
This week's game's on Amazon Prime are:

* Prey (2017)
The acclaimed Arkane Studios sandbox; explore an abandoned
space-station and fight off shape-changing aliens. I know everybody
else loves it, but the game always left me cold. But it's free and
Amazon makes it available through GOG.

* Lila's Sky Ark
You'll need Amazon's 'Legacy Games' client for this one. Looks like a
retro-graphic'd top-down action adventure. I'll pass.

Not a lot this week, but if it makes the library grow, I'll not
complain too much. More games are always welcome.

They seem to be hiding things now, I had to poke around a lot to find
Prey. It's a GOG code, so actually better than the ones tied to amazon.

I also saw Force Unleashed is coming soon. I already have it, but it
was a good game.

I saw Revita was there, got it and tried as I'm in the mood to try out some
small games. Dash isn't working though. I tested my controller at
https://gamepad-tester.com/ to be sure and everything is working on it.

I tried this for awhile. I liked it better than the 1st in this series, but I still
lost interest after a couple days. I'm not sure what it is, these games
seem fine, I've just got no interest to play them. Part of it might
be the streaming, as it would freeze up a second or so at a time every
now and again. I'm a bit far from my wifi router, but it's odd I don't have
more problems with other games, other than streaming ones. Also even
more oddly is while the game gave me nightmares, usually if that happens
I'm all in. Part of it just might be the 'free' bit, humans attach less value
to things that cost less, and it seems I'm affected by that.

> Citizen Sleeper - cyberpunk ttrpg knockoff video game, looks interesting.

I briefly tried this, it seems more like something that would be good on
the phone, which turns me off. It uses some sort of die or pip mechanic
and turns doing actions like salvaging or scrapping while trying to keep
fed and sane, the text blocks seem to be creative at least as far as I got.
