A few years ago, Bethesda and Arkane Studios had the genius idea to mix a first-person shooter with Groundhog Day-style time loops. The result was Deathloop, one of the best games of 2021. And now, Amazon Prime Members can get the PC version completely free (originally $59.99) as long as they claim it by Jan. 10, 2024.

Deathloop defies time, literally

Not a lot of games get a perfect 10 score from IGN and are considered a "masterpiece" even a year after its release date. Yet somehow, Deathloop manages to transcend time and still be a kick-ass game today.

The mission is simple: You have 24 hours to kill eight targets. The twist is, if you fail, the day resets and you're doomed to repeat the 24 hours again. To make it more interesting, there is a rival assassin trapped in the time loop with you, doing everything possible to stop you from breaking the time loop. You will fail many times and will have to think of new ways to achieve your missions as you restart the day.

Unlike many time loop games, Deathloop is not bound by a ticking clock that tells you how much time you have to beat the game. Instead, the day is split into four time periods – morning, noon, afternoon, and night. You can take as much or as little time on each as you'd like. In fact, a lot of the game is really up to you, allowing you to be creative on how to reach your goal. Some methods might work for you but others will quickly fail, and you'll have to re-evaluate your decisions in the hopes of doing a little better next time.

If you're not a Prime Member, it costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. You get free two-day shipping as well as many other benefits, like free video games now and then.
