In addition to the games above, you missed the "incredibly exciting"
(can you hear the sarcasm in my typing):

* Midnight Fight Express (GOG)
* Cat Quest II (via GOG)
* Masterplan Tycoon (via Amazon)
* YouTubers Life 2 (via Amazon)
* Maneater (via Epic) 
* Baldur's Gate Enhanced (via Amazon) (a repeat offering)

    (although if you've been following the threads, you may 
     already have "Maneater" on Epic, since it was a freebie 
     some years back)

It's a lot of games on offer this month; let's give Amazon that much
credit. And I'll happily the claim DRM-free versions from GOG. So I
won't bitch too loudly about the offerings, even if there's nothing
really new or wanted. 

Still, Amazon Prime Gaming continues to be a "well, I might as well
because it's already there" service rather than a "can't live
without!" but I guess Bezos is fine with that. Don't get it if you
don't have it, but if are stupid enough (like me!) to pay Amazon a
monthly fee, why not grab the games?

Plus, at least there aren't any hidden-object games this month.
(Well, not yet at least. August has just started, after all ;-)
