Amazon Amps Up Prime Gaming with Stellar August Lineup
August Gets off to an exciting start with Classics
It’s the best way to head into August—lots of instant classic games, straight out of the gate, for Prime Gaming members.
SteamWorld Heist delivers a unique brew of tactical adventure, while Deus Ex: Mankind Divided gives players a real bang right from the get-go in a dystopian future full of conspiracy.
Fans of Tomb Raider can remember the early salient adventures of Lara Croft with The Angel of Darkness and The Last Revelation + Chronicles.
Fresh Journeys Await on August 8
On the 8th of August, Amazon refreshes its Prime Gaming library with a new crop of games, and subscribers get to find new adventures.
Visually stunning across feudal Japan, Trek to Yomi joins the list, as does the narrative-driven South of the Circle.
If fast action is what one is looking for, then Gravity Circuit brings home the action. There is an offbeat, compelling school-based adventure in Kraken Academy, and Loop Hero, is infinitely replayable due to addictive loop-based gameplay.
Big Releases on August 15
Things won’t slow down on August 15, with other big releases slated for the day. Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition promises a rich storyline with detailed character development that will thrill any RPG fan.
On the other side, Beholder 3, Hard West 2, and En Garde! all promise different tastes of strategy and adventure, while Stray Gods is a musical role-playing game able to put oneself and all in the throes of new fusion between music and storytelling.
The addition of Baldur’s Gate 2 comes at an especially opportune time, as the upcoming Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 is said to launch with modding capabilities in September.
Indie Titles Shine on August 22
Prime Gaming doesn’t stop there, as it continues to roll out new indie titles on August 22. Grime: Definitive Edition will let players get into a very challenging action-adventure game set in a dark, surreal world.
KeyWe features a quirky co-op puzzler set in a Kiwi bird-run post office, while Figment 2: Creed Valley continues its surreal adventure through a musical mindscape riddled with puzzles.
Spells & Secrets adds magic flair to the adventure genre, and Young Souls melds classic beat ’em-up action with a poignant story.
Unique Games to Round Out August
The month will wrap up on August 29 with three more singular additions to the Prime Gaming library: Arcade Paradise, which lets players run and grow their arcade; Industria, a first-person shooter and alternate reality with a palpable story and action; and The Collage Atlas for relaxed gameplay and tranquil exploration.
