Some sort of yearly sale, I suppose. E.g., a manufactured attempt by Amazon to get you to spend more on Amazon than you normally would. Meh. But it means more free (if you don't mind the yearly subscription price) games, so here we are again. Note that the games here are ONLY free on Prime Day, so collect 'em now or lose out entirely. // Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration (via Epic) [Note this one was a freebie before, so you might have it in your library already. But it's back for 24 hours if you missed it the first time]. Probably my favorite of the rebooted rebooted Tomb Raider games, if only because so much of it is set in snowy climes (what can I say, I like winter and mountains!). It's got a nice mix of open-world and linear levels, and the platforming is fun. A great game? No, but fun. // Chivalry 2 (via Epic) [Note this one was a freebie before, so you might have it in your library already. But it's back for 24 hours if you missed it the first time]. Hack-n-slash-n-bleed all over your enemies! It's a reasonably good online first-person melee game, and I'd appreciate it more if I liked first-person melee. It just never seems convincing to me. But this is probably one of the better ones of its breed available. // Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (via Epic) I haven't played this one. I'm not a big fan of DC Comic superheroes, dislike the Suicide Squad in particular, and found the Rocksteady Batman games increasingly tedious. This one supposedly has a fairly strong story but is a bit of a grindy loot-fest. The general opinion is that -if you like the Batman Arkham games- you'll probably like this one too, but it's not worth paying for. Fortunately, it's free here! Not too bad a selection, even if I already have two of 'em and the third isn't to my taste. I still don't recommend Amazon Prime for the games (or in general; fuck Bezos ;-) but if you DO have the service, might as well take full advantage of it. Log on today and get these games before they're gone!
