Prime Gaming’s November freebies are shockingly good

By Emily Morrow Updated October 28, 2021

Amazon has released its list of upcoming free games with Prime Gaming for November. The list includes some heavy hitters from the previous console generation, like Control Ultimate Edition, Dragon Age Inquisition, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. The games will be available for Prime members starting in November, and as long as they’re claimed before the end of the month, they can be kept permanently.

Control Ultimate Edition includes the award-winning Control base game as well as all of its expansions and extra content. Rise of the Tomb Raider is the second game in the Tomb Raider reboot franchise and was a widely-lauded title upon release. Dragon Age Inquisition is the most recent entry in the much-loved Dragon Age franchise; fans have been begging for Dragon Age 4 for years now, and the game is reportedly in development for next-generation consoles.

Prime Gaming works similarly to Xbox Game Pass in that subscribers have access to a rotating monthly selection of free games as well as perks and bonuses in games-as-service like Apex Legends, New World, and Grand Theft Auto Online. Members can claim as many games from the list as they want before the month ends and have access to them permanently, even after the list changes. The list of games generally includes a mix of big hits from a few years ago and indie games that are on the come-up.

Here’s the full list of games you can get this November through Prime Gaming.

Control Ultimate Edition
Dragon Age Inquisition
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Brakes Are For Losers
Demon Hunter 2: New Chapter
Liberated
Puzzle Agent 2
Rogue Heroes
Secret Files: Sam Peters

How a King Arthur game was summarily scrapped at Ubisoft

A Ubisoft executive who resigned earlier this month following a string of sexual misconduct allegations nixed an ambitious title from a renowned designer because he didn't like the fantasy genre, according to a new report.

After Ubisoft hired Dragon Age designer Mike Laidlaw in 2018, he went to work on a new fantasy game code-named Avalon that centered on King Arthur and his Round Table, Bloomberg is reporting, citing sources who recounted the events. Before Laidlaw got too far, Ubisoft's former chief creative officer Serge Hascoët canceled the title because he didn't believe fantasy genre games could work unless they were "better than Tolkien," Bloomberg's sources said.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3

Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.
