Who doesn’t love free video games? It’s the best way to add to your backlog of titles you’ll never touch—at least not until you retire, which you keep telling yourself to assuage the guilt. To fuel this cycle, Amazon Prime is giving subscribers three fan-favorite The Lord of the Ring games as part of the latest promotion for The Rings of Powerwhich will be broadcast on August 29.

The TV series is great and all, but what about those games? They include:

  • Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition
  • Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Amazon Luna)
  • Lego The Lord of the Rings (GOG number)

If you’re a Prime subscriber, you can claim all three games now through September 30. If you wait too long, the promotion will disappear and other titles will be substituted for Amazon’s rotating free game offerings.

All three The Lord of the Ring titles offer enough gameplay to keep even the most voracious players satisfied, with the Middle Earth games that both take 30-60 hours to complete for completionists who want to see and do everything they have to offer. As for Lego The Lord of the RingsIt’s a bit more niche, with a childish aesthetic that will definitely turn some people off. But that would be a mistake! It’s easily one of the better versions of Lego gaming, retelling the Fellowship’s story from start to finish, including the Balrog, the Battle of Helm’s Deep, and the ever-terrifying Cirith Ungol!

Suppose you don’t like… The Lord of the RingIn that case, Amazon Prime has a diverse range of other free games to offer, including Tomb Raider: The Final Reveal, Grime: Definitive Edition, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Running hero, Hard West 2, Spectator 3, Midnight Fight Express, Food seeker, SteamWorld Heist, Trekking to Yomi, man-eaterand countless others. Honestly, the list goes on and on, with something for everyone!
