No Far Cry 4 that I can see.

Huh. That's weird. My screen looks like Isgrimnur's, not yours stimpy.

Oooh, that is weird. Mine looks like Stimpy's.

wtf Amazon, you're drunk.

Edit: mystery solved: "Requires linking Ubisoft Connect Account before you can claim. Follow On-Screen prompts"

Edit edit: Actually, my particular problem was that I was using the Amazon Games app (which I have done for most of my previous Amazon games snatching, so not sure why this is different) If you use the browser version of Amazon Games, you will see it.

Yep. I was using the app also.
All good now. This will be the next game on my list to play.....if I ever finish Elden Ring.......

I signed up for prime due to games. At $7 why not. And I get 30 days free. Thought I might sneak in some Jackie Chan movies as well like Who Am I? and Super Cop.

Free games coming soon to an Amazon Prime account near you. There's a couple of particularly good ones (Assassin's Creed Origins and Shadow of Mordor) in there.

Shadow of Mordor isn't (currently) available to claim as one of this month's free games. I'm not sure if this is due to a change in plans, or if they are simply holding it back until the Rings of Power debut.

i can't believe how many AssCreed games i now have gotten for free... II, III, IV:Black Flag, Unity, Syndicate, Origins, Odyssey and all the Chronicles spin-offs. (Odyssey was a gratuity for beta testing Google Stadia)

This is available now, redeemed through GOG.

LOOM holds a special place in my heart. It was the first PC game I ever bought (and finished) when I got my first "real" computer.

I remember seeing ads for LOOM in the 1980s and wanting it. Didn't even know what it was really back then.

I find that my Amazon Games launcher app doesn't fully align with what is free via the Prime Gaming website. I'm guessing that games that you claim via GOG, etc. can only be claimed via Prime Gaming. I'm hardly certain, though.

Same. It's been that way for a while. Amazon has NEVER been great with software. In fact, I would go so far as to say they are consistently BAD when it comes to software design/UI/UX, etc. Except for their website, which is excellent as far as I'm concerned. But from Amazon Music, Prime Video, to pretty much all their hardware devices (maybe not so much Kindle), just....terrible for a company with that many resources.

imo, for eReaders, the Kobo interface is quite a bit better than the Kindle.

WRC 9 FREE
Etherborn FREE
Whispering Willows FREE

I have never played FO:NV I do own it however, but just the vanilla version, not the UE listed here. Just a quick glance at the Steam store page makes it looks like the UE just adds a few minor DLC (almost like mods?). Any comments on the added content (if anyone can remember! LOL)?

I just finished installing it twice (once for my son, once for myself as part of A Tale of Two Wastelands.) The Ultimate Edition adds quite a bit:

~Dead Money - full expansion DLC
~Honest Hearts - full expansion DLC
~Old World Blues - full expansion DLC (and one of my favorites!)
~Lonesome Road - full expansion DLC
~Gun Runner's Arsenal - A bunch of weapons with special challenges associated with them
~Courier's Stash - A compilation of all of the different preorder bonus 'sets' from different retailers - the Caravan Pack, Classic Pack, Mercenary Pack, and Tribal Pack. Each has weapons, armor, and a significant number of resources.

Tip: Get thee a mod to distribute the Courier's Stash across the Mojave rather than dumping an entire mid-game arsenal in your inventory right at the beginning.
