Amazon has announced the August 2024 Prime Gaming lineup (Prime Gaming is a benefit of Amazon Prime membership).
Highlights include SteamWorld Heist, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Loop Hero, and various Tomb Raider games. 22 games are set to hit Prime Gaming in August, with new games added each Thursday throughout the month.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the well-received 2016 action role-playing game from Eidos-Montréal and sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution. IGN's Deus Ex: Mankind Divided review returned a 9.2. We said: "Layered, intelligent, and impeccably designed, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's gameplay rewards curiosity and creativity."
Unfortunately the Deus Ex series is on ice after franchise owner Embracer reportedly canceled a new game that was two years into development, resulting in layoffs.
