Amazon Prime rolls out its usual flood of free games for June, offering 15 titles ranging from remastered classics to tactical strategy. Among the most notable are Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, Mafia III Definitive Edition, and XCOM: Chimera Squad. Subscribers can claim them from now until June 30 to keep them in their library permanently. At no additional cost for those who are already members, it's a simple opportunity to expand the catalog without opening your wallet.
Technical remastering and performance in 90s classics 🎮
The Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered collection brings notable graphical improvements over the Core Design originals, with high-definition textures, support for 4K resolutions, and a 60 fps frame rate on next-gen consoles. However, the gameplay retains the tank controls of the era, which may clash with modern players. Mafia III, on the other hand, remains weighed down by minor bugs and uneven optimization on PC, although its definitive edition includes all downloadable content. XCOM: Chimera Squad is lighter, but its AI remains predictable after several playthroughs.
The drama of having 15 games and zero time to play them 😅
Amazon gives us 15 games this month, adding to the 50 we've already accumulated untouched since January. Now we face the existential dilemma of deciding whether to play Tomb Raider or keep staring at the main menu of Mafia III while thinking we'll get around to it someday. The best part is that by claiming them, we can feel productive without lifting a finger. After all, having them is almost like finishing them, right?
