Evil-simulator Tyranny is free on Twitch Prime today

In celebration of Amazon’s Prime Day, Twitch Prime has been giving away a free game every day for a couple of weeks. The games show up on a sort of rolling cycle - staying active for several days - so even if you haven’t kept up, you can swing by Twitch and grab several free games.

While some really incredible games have cycled through during this promotion, today is one of the highlights of the giveaway. Tyranny, the isometric RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, is today’s free offering. Released in 2016, Tyranny is one of those games that seems to never go down in price, and rarely goes on sale (it is currently $44.99 on Steam).

With a “Very Positive” ranking on Steam, and an 80 on Metacritic, Tyranny is something of a critical darling. In fact, many of the folks criticizing Tyranny don’t seem to have many issues with the game on a technical level, instead expressing some misgivings about the overall dark tone and nihilistic story. In Tyranny, the player character is a high-ranking member in the military, serving the evil overlord Kyros. Kyros holds the fantasy world of Terratus in an iron fist of terror, and most of the player’s decisions in the game center not around whether they will commit evil, but more around what sort of evil they will commit, and how efficiently they will commit said evil. It’s a dark game.

For those that are not familiar with Twitch Prime, it’s pretty simple. If you have Amazon Prime, you can have Twitch Prime for free. You just have to link your Twitch and Amazon accounts. This brings you a steady stream of free games, in-game goodies and surprises. As an added bonus, Amazon recently announced that any teens in your household can glom onto your Twitch Prime account for free.
