Twitch has announced the free games that subscribers to its Prime service will get on August 1, and they include Jotun: Valhalla Edition, Death Squared and Antihero (pictured above).
Jotun might just be the pick of the bunch: it’s a beautiful top-down action game from 2015 about slaying Norse titans. Tom played it and spoke to its creative director here. Death Squared isn’t half-bad, either—it’s a clever co-op puzzler that made it onto our list of the best local multiplayer games on PC.
Victorian-era crime strategy game Antihero is another one worth playing, as are the three games from the influential Wizardry series of RPGs (6, 7 and 8) that are part of the package.
The last game for Prime subscribers will be charming mining platformer SteamWorld Dig, part of the “series without a genre”, as Austin described here.
Twitch Prime comes packaged with Amazon Prime, which costs $119 for the year. If you’re already signed up to Amazon’s service, then go here to activate Twitch Prime for ad-free viewing, in-game loot for games such as Fortnite and PUBG, and a free channel subscription every month.
Some of July’s free Twitch Prime games, of which there were a whopping 21, are still available here, including Broken Age and Serial Cleaner.
