It’s the start of a new month, and like clockwork, new free games are available for Amazon Prime members starting today. Subscribers to the Amazon gaming service can pick up 10 PC games this month, and if you’re a fan of Prime Video’s Fallout series, you’re in for a treat in May. As usual, these titles will be released in waves, with each week bringing new games to add to your collection.
Kicking things off today is the release of Tomb Raider: Game of the Year Edition (GOG key). After years of dormancy, the Tomb Raider franchise made a huge comeback in 2013 with an adventure that showed how Lara Croft became the legendary hunter of relics. An action-packed blockbuster, the first game still holds up pretty well more than a decade after release, and this edition includes the Tomb of the Lost Adventurer expansion, six extra outfits for Lara, and four more characters to play as in multiplayer.
Also available today is Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars (GOG key). This all-ages game doesn’t stray away from the established Lego formula, as you can expect to smash and blast your way through stages, assemble gadgets to move forward, and have a good laugh at the Lego twist on the Star Wars story.
On May 9, you can test your observation skills with the hidden object game Dark City: International Intrigue, but the real draw next week will be Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition (GOG key). Bethesda’s first trip into the wastelands was a massive success, as it made big changes to the gameplay and delivered a fun adventure in a post-apocalyptic world. This meaty edition comes with five expansions, continuing the story of Fallout 3 in Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta. Finally, you can grab old-school point-and-click mystery game Nine Witches: Family Disruption to round out the trio of May 9 arrivals.
May 16 will see two more games arrive. Critically acclaimed, The Forgotten City will see you travel 2,000 years into the past to prevent the destruction of an ancient Roman location and discover the mystery behind it. Once you’re done with your time travel, you can check out 100 Door Games: Escape from School, another hidden object game. May 23 will see one more game arrive, Spirits of Mystery: Song of the Phoenix, another mystery title where you’ll have to use your eyes to find hidden objects scattered across beautifully illustrated stages.
Once you claim Prime Gaming freebies, they are yours to keep forever–even if your subscription expires. So if you aren’t a member, signing up for Amazon Prime for even just one month could make sense for you, depending on your interest in these games.
Amazon Prime Gaming members can also get a few extra games to play through the Amazon Luna channel this month, as Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Fortnite, Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and Trackmania are being added to the library of that service. The Luna cloud streaming freebies are only available to stream in May.
