Freebie alert: Amazon is giving away 13 video games (worth over $100) to all Prime members
Sometimes a deal that seems too good to be true is, in fact, true. This is one of those times: During the entire month of June, Amazon is giving away a whopping 15 PC games and tons of free loot to Amazon Prime members. Not a member? Believe it or not, you can still get the goods. Sign up for the free 30-day Prime trial here, and you can take advantage of this free offer. Once the trial is over, you can either subscribe to Amazon Prime for $13 a month (or $119 a year) or just cancel altogether. No hard feelings.
Fans of Twitch might remember all the free games they used to give out. Good news: they still do! It's just under a different name now: Prime Gaming. Here's the deal: Every month, Amazon Prime doles out on-the-house video games. Games release on a weekly basis, so you'll want to check in on the regular — but never fear, because the release schedule is here. This month, they're releasing an incredible 15 free games.
And even if you cancel the service, you can keep the games in your digital library. It's an amazing deal!
On top of that, you can get a ton of in-game gear, too (typically for various game systems like PS4, Xbox and PC). In-game currencies, cosmetic bonus packs and much more are all part of the Prime Gaming package. Right now, score a Stronghold Activity Relief Pack in Lost Ark, a 7-day renown booster in Rainbow Six: Siege, and loads of other freebies.
Scroll for this month’s game giveaways, broken down by release date, which are all available for PC only:
June 1
Sengoku 2
In this classic SNK beat-em-up, step into the shoes of a warrior and fight the dark monarch. You can use charge attacks and defensive abilities to give yourself an edge in combat, all while experiencing the fun of a game from yesteryear.
Mutation Nation
Another beat-em-up, Mutation Nation is...weird. And that's being generous. You play as Ricky or Johnny and fight through mutated, mechanical enemies to save your hometown. Give them some credit; the early days of brawlers didn't focus much on story, but plenty on fun. Strategy comes into play by deciding what style of attack to use, and possibly sacrificing HP in order to unleash more powerful attacks.
Soccer Brawl
It's soccer, but not as you know it. You can kick, punch and fight other players — all of whom are robots, by the way — in this oddball take on the popular sport.
Over Top
The name of this game is a bit on-the-nose, especially when you consider that this is a top-down arcade racing game. You play against AI-controlled opponents in differing weather conditions. All in all, it's a standard racer, but introduced new, interesting elements for a game released in 1991.
June 15
The Super Spy
There were a lot of things in 1990, but hybrid FPS/brawler games weren't one of them. The Super Spy sets itself apart by blending genres and creating a unique experience where your fists and guns are the best weapons. Fight your way through a multiple-floor building and expel the terrorists that have taken up residence there.
Top Hunter
Yet another beat-em-up (seeing a trend this month?), Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy is similar to Double Dragon and Joe and Mac. Both characters can execute special moves, but the main focus of the game is to navigate through the levels while collecting items and defeating enemies.
SteamWorld Dig 2
Steamworld Dig 2 picks up where the first title left off, in a vivid world filled with treasures and traps. You play as a lone Steambot as you explore the cause of a mysterious earthquake, using a plethora of different tools to navigate the levels. This is definitely a Metroidvania, and a fantastic one at that.
June 22
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition
If the DND movie gave you an itch you haven't been able to scratch in-person, dive into the Forgotten Realms with more than 100 hours of gameplay and character customization. This includes updated, improved graphics and both DLC packs, as well as over 40 extra hours of new content.
Autonauts
If you like crafting games, you'll love Autonauts. This game tasks you with building a colony and teaching a bunch of robots to perform tasks, such as agriculture, industry, and more. It's a cute, kid-friendly game that anyone can sink a lot of time into.
Revita
Revita is a twin-stick roguelite with a rather gruesome premise. Search a clocktower in pursuit of your lost memories, all while harvesting and sacrificing souls in order to grow stronger and overcome the powerful boss fights.
June 29
Roguebook
Ever played Magic: The Gathering? Fan of roguelikes? Roguebook combines the best of all those genres into a challenging, immensely entertaining deckbuilder. Create a team of two heroes to unleash powerful combination attacks against all who come to challenge you.
Once Upon a Jester
There has never been a game more geared towards theatre kids than Once Upon a Jester. Become a star of the famous royal theater and improve shows on stages across the kingdom. It's a weird, oddball game with an art style reminiscent of early Adult Swim cartoons.
Gems of Destiny: Homeless Dwarf
It's like Bejeweled, but with a fantasy storyline. This Match 3 game has you helping a dwarf rebuild his destroyed village. It's pretty standard gameplay, but the main draw is the hand-drawn art style.
