I mean… yeah, but if you have a Prime sub anyway because thinking that doesn’t mean you don’t need to buy stuff online sometimes, you may as well take as much from them as you can, especially if it’s a DRM-free thing that isn’t forcing you into their ecosystem.
A free GOG key for having prime? Okay, yeah, no complaints. As long as I don’t have to play it through Amazon, I’ll gladly take another copy. That game is great.
I guess I can finally just try this out, because I love System Shock and similar games, but boy do the opening hours just look like a lot of mimics and glue gun.
I cannot recommend this game enough. It definitely not perfect–I had numerous complaints about its audio mixing–but the gameplay is so good. It does the System Shock/Bioshock formula extremely well. If you’re going in for your first time, push yourself to experiment. The game is very good at letting you do things you maybe normally wouldn’t think of.
Gameplay spoilers!
For example: There are times where you are locked out of a room in need of a keycard or passcode that you need to come across. Sometimes this can be mitigated by a simple swing of your wrench can break the glass; many people will likely figure that out. Sometimes, that locked room has glass, but it has bars preventing you from entering after breaking the glass. This may lead those who use the typhon powers to transform into a small object and move between the bars to get inside. Now, what do you do if you don’t have the keycard/passcode, or have psionic powers? Well, there’s a “weapon” that you can use called the Huntress Boltcaster. It’s a toy gun that shoots foam crossbow bolts. You can use this to shoot the button on the inside of the door to open it. Incredible.
Like a 9. The ending gets a little drawn-out and there’s a singular jumpscare that really pissed me off because the rest of the game is free of them, but otherwise my complaints were very minimal.

Awesome, thank you!
Nice, I didn’t know Amazon gave out locker keys. I’ll have to start keeping an eye out.
Fuck amazon
Agreed, however the game is tied to GOG, so there’s that.

Thanks for the heads up! We subscribe to Prime but I would have missed this.
My thoughts precisely!

It’s really good. Like bioshock but with more fun gameplay
