Amazon has announced the Prime Gaming lineup for August 2024 (Prime Gaming is an Amazon Prime membership benefit).
Highlights include SteamWorld Heist, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Loop Hero, and various Tomb Raider games. 22 games are coming to Prime Gaming in August, with new games added every Thursday throughout the month.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a well-received 2016 action RPG from Eidos-Montréal and the sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. IGN’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided review returned 2/9. We said: “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s layered, intelligent and impeccably designed gameplay rewards curiosity and creativity.”
Unfortunately, the Deus Ex series is on hold after franchise owner Embracer reportedly canceled a new game that was two years in development, leading to layoffs.
