Amazon is giving away one of the best strategy games ever, plus loads of other PC games for Prime members

You might think that Amazon Luna is all about cloud gaming, but that's not the case. The underappreciated Amazon Prime membership perk also includes a monthly selection of free PC games - offering you the chance to pick up keys for storefronts like GoG or the Epic Games Store (plus Amazon's own PC game launcher) at no extra cost.

This isn't the same as a service like Xbox Game Pass, either, as the games that you get are yours to keep even if your membership lapses. They're only available for a limited time, and there's really no reason not to claim them. Even if you're not too thrilled about an included title right now, you never know when you might want to play it in the future.

There are some truly brilliant games to pick up this month, but you should bear in mind that you will need an active Amazon Prime membership to get them. If you're not yet a subscriber, you can see the best prices near you and how to access a free trial below.

Get Xcom: Enemy Unknown and all of its DLC, plus Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties and more

Xcom: Enemy Unknown Complete Pack is the star of this month's offering, giving you one of the greatest strategy games ever and all of its DLC content. Set in the near-future, it challenges you to manage an elite special forces squad assembled to fight back against an alien invasion.

Meaty tactics and a punishing difficulty level make this a game that you can spend hours in, and I particularly love the in-depth customization options for all of your crew. This complete release includes the base game and the brilliant Enemy Within expansion, plus the Elite Soldier Pack and Slingshot Pack cosmetics.

If that wasn't enough, you can also claim Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties, an enhanced version of the 2023 Bronze Age conquest game. Pharaoh Dynasties includes loads of new factions, units, a much bigger map, and an overhauled, faster combat system. It also comes bundled with the original game, Total War: Pharaoh, giving you two distinct versions to try.

These are both new additions, but Total War: Rome 2 - Emperor Edition and Total War: Three Kingdoms are still hanging around from previous weeks and can currently be added to your library, giving you a formidable Total War collection.

Other great picks include both Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, two brilliant first-person shooters.
