​A John Wick Hex Steam key is this week's giveaway prize.

​Based on the popular action film franchise, John Wick Hex is a strategy game that slows down combat to illustrate the titular protagonist's lightning-fast reflexes. Think along the same lines as Superhot and, of course, Superhot VR.

Compose and execute an efficient attack plan to channel and embody the eponymous hitman, portrayed on the big screen by Keanu Reeves. Just note that the Cyberpunk 2077 star doesn't actually feature in Bithell Games' (The Solitaire Conspiracy) adaptation outside of his approximate likeness.

Got what it takes to eliminate targets with surgical precision? Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win John Wick Hex on PC. It's also available to purchase for £15.49 on Steam.

​Good luck!

A Guts and Glory Steam key is this week's giveaway prize.

​Anyone else remember playing Happy Wheels instead of doing their work at school? If so, Guts and Glory will be potently nostalgic. Essentially a 3D evolution of that game's simple 2D concept, father and son must navigate deadly obstacle courses without meeting a brutal end.

​Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Guts and Glory on PC. It's also available to purchase for £11.39 on Steam.

An Amnesia: Rebirth Steam key is our Halloween game giveaway prize!

​The latest entry in Frictional Games’ iconic horror series, Amnesia: Rebirth tasks players with surviving the harsh Algerian desert. 

Players must avoid spending time in darkness for the sake of their sanity, but also shelter from the blistering heat of the boiling sun. Gameplay quandaries don’t end there, however; forging ahead is a must to save protagonist Tasi Trianon and her dependant, though doing so leads to some terrifying monster encounters.

While Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent horror game, its compelling narrative and puzzles are worth experiencing by anyone. This is where Adventure Mode comes into play, transforming the game into a non-horror title accessible to everyone.

Looking to enjoy some emotionally impactful scares this spooky season? Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Amnesia: Rebirth on PC. Alternatively, it’s available to purchase for £23.79 on Steam.

Good luck!
