BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
PC players should find something to like with Prime Gaming‘s end-of-summer drop, a mix of names both mainline and niche.
Heating up
Rounding out yet another summertime is Prime Gaming, with a pretty packed August that’ll deliver a number of free PC games to subscribers. As usual, those titles include a mixture of GOG, Epic Games Store, and Amazon Games App games, and run the gamut from classic to newer releases.
Leading the way are the likes of Sid Meier’s Civilization III Complete and THIEF: Definitive Edition, but Silver Box Classics might be a gem that could get lost in the mix. While it might not have the biggest name recognition, the games that make up this collection adapt the first four Dragonlance RPG modules. Yep, they’re the original titles that brought the D&D world into video gaming. So this one’s kind of digital-history.
Prime Gaming is offering several free titles throughout August, with the first games available to claim starting on August 7! This month’s lineup brings blasts from the past in Silver Box Classics to in-depth strategy gameplay in Sid Meier’s Civilization® III Complete. Come back every Thursday to claim your free games at primegaming.com.
