Game News Prime Day: 30 games offered by Amazon, here is our selection of the best!
You are not unaware that Amazon is about to launch its famous Prime Day, with two days of reductions on many products. But it’s also an opportunity to get a lot of PC games for free! Until July 13, Prime subscribers can already indulge in a roster of 30 indie titles, and from July 12-13, more well-known names join the party. We left !
PC games offered with Amazon Prime Day!
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
It’s certain: the biggest game to get for free during Amazon Prime Day is Mass Effect Legendary Edition, a compilation that brings together the three episodes of the Mass Effect series in a remastered version. A great opportunity to catch up or redo these cult games, while waiting for a new episode! On the program: resolution and textures in 4K, improvement in terms of lighting effects and all the DLC released so far. Enough to offer hours of content and the true end of Mass Effect 3. As a reminder, the series puts you in the boots of Commander Shepard (to be fully personalized) to travel the galaxy and face an unprecedented threat to the universe. She is recognized today as a monument of the genre, both in terms of the world and of writing. Don’t miss this great opportunity.

Grid Legends
In another genre, Amazon Prime Day also allows you to enjoy Grid Legends, a racing game that has just been released, for free. Here, on the four-wheel side, you will be spoiled for choice: “more than 130 vehicles (…) divided into 9 categories” we wrote in our test. And there is also plenty to do in terms of the types of races (drift, time trial, elimination). But the biggest originality of the title is undoubtedly its career mode, directly inspired by the Netflix series Formula 1 Drive to Survive. Basically, the story alternates between scenes with very real actors and objectives to be achieved on the asphalt. It embodies the pilot 22 within the Seneca team, which encounters financial difficulties. The whole thing forms a welcome addition – even if our tester noted “unfortunately too clichéd tone”. Yes, there is food and drink!

> Need For Speed Heat (11/20 on JV) is also available for free
Three Star Wars games
Now, off to the nostalgia planet! On Amazon Prime Day, you can also pick up Star Wars Republic Commando (2005), Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast (2002), and Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy (2003). You will have understood it: the last two of this list are taken from the same sub-series of the most famous of galaxies, where the player can change views (either in third person or in first person). The opportunity to use both sabers and laser weapons, all in order to track down the Siths. For the last, on the other hand, Republic Commando, it is a shooting game where everything takes place in the first person. On this title – which takes place between episodes 2 and 3 of Star Wars – you play as a Clone of the Republic in charge of the most dangerous missions in space. A good throwback!

Hue
We continue with the more independent part of this selection. Until July 13, with Prime Gaming, you can enjoy Hue, the puzzle adventure game for free change the colors of the decor. The basic principle is quite simple: as soon as elements – and especially obstacles – are the same color as the background, they disappear. But obviously, the whole thing becomes more and more complex over the course of the adventure. Depending on media, Hue scores between 77 and 79 out of 100 on ratings aggregator Metacritic. On Steam, it even oscillates between 94 and 100% positive opinions. You will therefore have understood it, a little nugget to discover without delay!

Serial Cleaner
Hotline Miami, does that mean anything to you? So imagine your quest isn’t to wreak havoc but to clean it up, and you get Serial Cleaner! In this action-stealth game which sets its scene in the 70s, you will therefore have to remove the traces of crime left behind by the Mafia. The idea is therefore also very simple here: you arrive in a level, you do everything in your power to go unnoticed, you remove blood / corpse, voila! The goal is of course not to be spotted (otherwise you have to start the level again). The whole thing even offers a little scenario to follow. A quirky and solid little game that will please you.

rain world
We finally end with Rain World, a game with a particular atmosphere which seems to be the meeting between Another World and The End is Nigh. “You are a cat-slug. The world around you is dangerous and you must face it alone. Find food – and shelter with every torrential rain that threatens to engulf you,” the project’s Steam page tells us. Suffice to say that the tone is set! We’ll have to run away and survive to find your family. Everything seems to be the subject of real care in a rather original universe. And hey, who would refuse to embody a cat-slug! An adventure that seems more than promising, to discover with Amazon Prime Day.
