Prime Gaming gives away classic Star Wars and D&D games /

Aside from the usual monthly game giveaways included in Prime Gaming, subscribers are given four additional video games in June and July 2023 – some real classics included. If you’re playing for Amazon Prime, you’ll be able to claim the following bonus games as part of your membership in the coming days and weeks:

Prey – available now via GOG
Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition – available on June 27, 2023, via Amazon Games App
Shovel Knight: Showdown – available on July 6, 2023, via Amazon Games App
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – available on July 10, 2023, via Amaton Games App

Arkane Austin’s Prey is one of the best immersive sim games available, throwing you on board a space station on which everything that could have gone wrong went wrong – failed experiments, aliens, and incredible abilities come together to form a truly unique experience that cemented the studio’s great reputation.

While you won’t have to play through Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition to understand the story of upcoming RPG epic Baldur’s Gate 3, it’ll certainly help you catch a few references – it’s also one of the best CRPGs ever made, so you should do yourself the favor and experience it.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed may be a bit janky in places, but even after Respawn’s two Star Wars: Jedi games it remains the greatest force-user power fantasy ever created in the beloved universe – disintegrate stormtroopers and rebels, go toe to toe with the likes of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, and tear entire battleships from the sky.

It’s probably a good thing that protagonist Galen Marek isn’t considered canon anymore, because he makes everyone else look like a complete wimp. The game also brought Sam Witwer into the Star Wars ecosystem, where he has turned out to be an absolute treasure, so that’s a plus.

You can claim all of these games via the Prime Gaming page as long as you have an active Amazon Prime membership.
