By my count, I've made about 600 Star Wars games over the past few decades. That's pretty odd, because all it takes is three or four - TIE Fighter, Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR), KOTOR 2, and probably Empire at War.

Of those, KOTOR 2 is the best in my opinion, and, to my surprise, it is available for free on Prime Gaming at this very moment. If, like me, you signed a helluva deal with Jeff Bezos and left it at that, you can get the undeniably best Star Wars game (and one of the best RPGs ever) for absolutely free. That is, if you exclude the monthly subscription fees you've been paying. If so, it could technically cost thousands of dollars.

The problem is that this game is distributed through the "Amazon Games App", a gaming platform that time forgot. This app is the company's distribution system that offers these free items if you don't hand over your GOG/EA/Ubisoft key.

Frankly, that's a shame, because the Amazon gaming app is doing surprisingly well in PCG's rankings: not bloated, easy to use, and relatively modest. Sure, GOG Key might still be better, but given the dismal state of other clients, the sin of being a bit forgettable isn't so bad.

Anyway, KOTOR 2, Obsidian's follow-up to BioWare's KOTOR 1, is both one of my favorite video games ever made and a total flop. It's a dark, moody take on "Star Wars" (and a sort of stealth sequel to "Planescape: Torment") that delights in subverting the basic principles of the setting. Also, because Obsidian had to make this film on a tight deadline, there is no real ending.

Even if that were true, this is one of my favorite games of all time, but the good news is that it can (almost) be fixed these days... The Sith Lords Restoration Project's dedicated fans were lost from Obsidian's cutting room They've created an easy way to put the content back into the game, and aside from one or two minor flaws (I'm sure there are other reasons other than time to put back what was cut), this is absolutely the best way to play it, and the ending is now somewhat satisfying. I'm glad to be alive.
