Prime Gaming - November 2025

There is a GIF of Samuel L Jackson with the line “Stares motherf**kerly,” and quite frankly, I’ve never felt more seen when it comes to these Prime Gaming renames. Now lumped together under the name “Amazon Luna,” which totally doesn’t confuse people with the terrible cloud gaming service that Amazon is trying to push as a result of the “AI-focused” restructuring, you get access to poor-quality gaming. Thanks, baldy, that’s what everyone wants: Your crappy services that will be inaccessible when AWS is offline for 24 hours. Let’s get to Prime Gaming for November 2025, shall we?

We’ll start off with something that is totally going to make me happy, and I’ve never said a bad word about the series, New Tales from the Borderlands, available now via the Epic Games Store. It is the 2022 version of that TellTale idea, this time developed by Gearbox Software. On Steam, it is noted to be “Mostly Negative.” Yes, even Borderlands fans who put up with characters screaming nonsense while beating a dead horse to death for 25-55 hours hate this one, and that’s saying something given the film they got as well. Maybe one to have if you want to hate something, but probably a skip on this occasion.

Moving on to GOG and something older than dust itself and Jesus’ first pair of sandals, Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Sun Series is also available now. A collection of 1993’s Dark Sun: Shattered Lands and Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager from 1994, they are top-down RPGs in that very early ’90s way of looking terrible and playing slowly. Though that’s hardly enough to hold against it, the Dark Sun section of D&D is “controversial” due to topics such as cannibalism, forced breeding, genocides, and a lot of the races generally being based on some sort of harmful stereotype. I know, lovely.

From one thing based on racism to another, you can pick up Lovecraft’s Untold Stories for the Epic Games Store right now. Released in 2019 by LLC Blini Games, this sort of pixelated action RPG Rogue-lite has you facing off with Lovecraft’s imaginary monsters, often based on his actual hatred of Black and Brown people. Seemingly unlike everyone, I can’t stand HP Lovecraft, and aside from a little bit of nice artwork from the studio, Lovecraft’s Untold Stories isn’t causing much excitement about “[improving] your gear, [solving] puzzles, and [finding] clues and knowledge to defeat the Great Old Ones.”

The last game available from the 6th is something I quite enjoy, Gas Station Simulator. Released in 2021, you buy a gas station (despite it being a liquid) on Route 66 in the middle of nowhere and start pumping fuel, building a small store, offering repairs, and breaking into someone’s car to steal their stuff for some money. That, and you can beat a kid to death. Realistically, Gas Station Simulator is one of those repetitive, mundane task simulators that you play while second-screening something or listening to music/a podcast. I love it.

On to the 13th of November, it is once again in the build-up to Fallout season 2 with Fallout 76. Available through the Microsoft Games Store, the MMO version of Fallout still baffles me, almost as much as the idea that you could be playing Fallout with John Carpenter. This one is only available where both Amazon Luna/Prime Gaming and the Microsoft Games Store are available, meaning some regions might not see this one offered.

Back to GOG now for the remake of 1991’s cinematic platformer action-adventure, Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition. Or if you’re American, it was originally called Out of This World, because you don’t want to get confused with the American soap opera, Anthony Eden’s memoir, or the album and second track of Andy Laverne’s 1977 album Another World.

Noted for its influence, like Far Cry 2‘s influence on the wider open-world formula, Another World influenced the likes of Ico, Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill, to name a few. If you’ve played anything cinematic or a side-scrolling adventure, it was probably influenced by Another World.

Speaking of cinematic, and something I can point to rather easily as an example, is also available on the 13th, also for GOG. Fort Solis is a sci-fi-esque drama set on Mars in a mining base in a non-descript near future, plagued by vague horror. Released in 2023, Mike reviewed this one in place of The Expanse continuing, which might have soured his opinion a little, with some others rating it slightly higher. Developed by Fallen Leaf and Black Drakkar Games, the lofty ambitions of Fort Solis can be hit or miss depending on your mood.

So, from apathy to a Big Fish Games game (i.e, hatred). Released on Steam in September of 2023 and available from the 13th via the Amazon Games App, Dark City: Kyiv Collections Edition is another hidden-object game in the Dark City series, set in an interpretation of the Ukrainian city of Kyiv. I hear they have lovely garlic butter chicken there. Like every Big Fish Games/hidden object offering, I don’t really have much to say because so many of these games are vaguely the same with a different color of paint. If you like them, then you like them. If you don’t, then you don’t, it’s that simple; I do not.

As we move onto the 20th of November, we also move onto a GBA-inspired-style RPG that may have gone under many people’s radars. Available through GOG, Spectra Entertainment Inc’s 2024 title, Dream Tactics, is a very colorful GBA JRPG-influenced title for those who thought Sword of Mana, Golden Sun, and Tales of Phantasia were too short to complete collectively. It might not fill a Final Fantasy Tactics hole once you’ve completed that, but it will be something for those who’ve also enjoyed the likes of Triangle Strategy.

The next one I could have sworn I’ve covered before, but here we are, and I’ve spent some time searching to no avail. Available for the Epic Games Store, It’s Happening, Yogscast Games, and Gamersky Games’ PlateUp! is a Cook, Serve, Diner Dash ’em up with a hint of Rogue-lite and procedural generation. Maybe you can call me old and out of touch, but I don’t think everything needs to be a Rogue-lite/like with procedural generation. I say this, of course, as I talk about a game with “overwhelmingly positive” reviews. There is room for PlateUp!, and I would say that after eating enough pasta to down an Italian stereotype.

The final game for the 20th is available through GOG, and it is another adventure to the dragons in Khaleesi’s dungeon that one time. A collection of Champions of Krynn (1990), Death Knights of Krynn (1991), and The Dark Queen of Krynn (1992), the Dungeons & Dragons: Krynn Series bundle from Strategic Simulations and MicroMagic is the Dragonlance universe games within the Gold Box series. To put that in human-speak, games so old that the first time it moved it surprised God because she thought it was a corpse. I just hope we get the Buck Rogers games next.

I think this next one is just something I need to say the name on, and my editor will smack his head against his desk. Big Adventure: Trip to Europe 6 Collector’s Edition is the Legacy Games offering this month on the 26th, and quite frankly, I don’t know what to say anymore. Apparently, clip art and stock images with vastly different lighting settings for each image being thrown together can legally be called a hidden object game. I mean this with the utmost respect, but the Danny DeVito film A Sudden Case of Christmas is warmer and more inviting than whatever you call this. Steam abuse, I think.

The final game, available from the 26th for GOG, is Orangepixel and HandyGames’ 2015 title, Gunslugs. Imagine Broforce, but with those stubby, almost Funko Pop characters that always look awful and show a lack of desire to make something unique and interesting. I really wish I could say something nice about Gunslugs, but I’m like a 95-year-old man at a sperm bank, drawing blanks. “Battle the evil Black Duck Army across wild, procedurally generated levels packed with explosions, jetpacks, chicken guns, and rogue-like permadeath;” right, not a single word of that blurb sounds interesting or unique.

What gets me is that this is supposed to be the great big, sexy relaunch of Prime Gaming as Amazon Luna, not to be confused with Amazon’s cloud gaming platform, Luna, which is now included in your subscription. You see where that’s a bit stupid, Jeffrey? Meanwhile, the biggest and sexiest thing for this month to get you excited is Gas Station Sim? Fallout 76? If we keep going with games so retro that the Hogfather had skin and time was yet to be invented, joined exclusively by hidden object tripe and cloud gaming, I’ve got a feeling next month will be the last time we cover Amazon’s offerings regularly.
