All month long, Amazon has been giving free PC games to Amazon/Twitch Prime members in an effort to build anticipation for Prime Day. The Prime Day sales event doesn`t officially begin until July 16, but free games--plus a few other deals--are available right now. All told, 21 free games will be offered to Prime members in July, and 10 are available right now.To get your free games, you`ll first have to link your Twitch and Amazon Prime accounts. Then head to Twitch.tv and click the crown icon next to the search bar. That opens a drop-down menu where you`ll find your free games, along with any other freebies you haven`t collected yet. Just note you`ll need the Twitch desktop app to access the games.What games are we talking about? The latest free game is The Bridge, a black-and-white puzzle game with hand-drawn levels inspired by M.C. Escher`s artwork. The impossible architecture makes your job of reaching a door in each level much harder than it sounds. The Bridge is free until July 26.Free until July 16 is Deponia: Doomsday, a humorous point-and-click adventure game that involves puzzles and time travel. Hue, a side-scrolling puzzle platformer that hinges on color manipulation, is available until July 15. And this is your last chance to grab the Gauntlet-like dungeon crawler Next Up Hero, so make sure to claim that one today.The availability windows vary depending on the game, so your best bet is to check back in each day. If you haven`t been paying attention, you`ve already lost out on games like Pillars of Eternity: Definitive Edition and Battle Chef Brigade. But even if you`ve missed some of the free games, you can still get more each day through July 17. Upcoming games include Tyranny and Brutal Legend. You can find the full schedule and descriptions of each game here.
