Amazon is offering its Prime Gaming subscribers a pair of free games that send them into Middle-earth in totally different ways. For those who prefer a more “realistic” gaming experience, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – Game of the Year Edition is up for grabs. LEGO The Lord of the Rings is available for those who like a little humor in their adventure. Both games can be claimed and added to a player’s library of titles and kept forever.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – GotY Edition
You are Talion, a Ranger of the Black Gate, keeping watch over Mordor, who has remained undisturbed for ages. In the blink of an eye, everything is taken from you – your friends, your family, and even your own life. Resurrected by a vengeful spirit, you must now embark on a relentless vendetta against those who have wronged you. Fight through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit that compels you, discover the origins of the Rings of Power, build your legend, and ultimately confront the evil of Sauron in this new chronicle in Middle-earth.
LEGO The Lord of the Rings
Follow the original storylines of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, taking players through the epic story events reimagined with the humor and endless variety of LEGO play. Trusted with the dangerous task of destroying an ancient magical ring that threatens all that is good, Frodo is forced to leave his peaceful home. But the ring wants to be found, and the road to Mount Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed, will be perilous and riddled with Orcs and fouler things. To help Frodo, a Fellowship is formed – Aragorn the Ranger, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Boromir, a Man of Gondor, and Frodo’s Hobbit friends Sam, Merry, and Pippin. Players relive the legend through the LEGO mini figures as they explore wonders, solve timeless riddles, and overcome endless foes in their quest to destroy the Ring.
Fulfilment is through GoG which is a relief to players who love a good ol’ DRM-free game! Grab them while you can!
