Amazon Luna Games with Prime – June 2026

You pick such a beautiful time of the year, Geoff and Jeff; you almost don’t make the cut for my human experiment of that knocking-balls executive toy. Of course, if you’re one of those perverts who enjoy cloud gaming, this month has a great game that doesn’t work for that whole idea. As part of Luna (the cloud gaming bit), this month, you can play Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition, Mega Man 11, and Ultrakill. That’s what I want: a souls-like with an input delay.

On to what you can claim with Prime/Luna for the month of gay, I mean June, we’ll start with something I’ve already reviewed. Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the 2025 collection of remastered versions of The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness, the latter of which is like remastering a turd. I’m not bemoaning Aspyr’s efforts; they are good remasters, I just have a thing against Angel of Darkness because it is one of the worst games of the 2000s. IV-VI Remastered is available now for the Epic Games Store, and Aspyr better hurry up with that Legend trilogy remaster I want, or I’ll phone Jeff.

From bemoaning a game for being bad to bemoaning that I can’t kill more of the KKK in more games, like Mafia III: Definitive Edition. Also available now and the first of the GOG offerings, Mafia III: Definitive Edition continues the story of Mafia, away from directly being about the Italian Mafia, as you play as Lincoln Clay, a young Black guy in the Deep South who is part of a gang that works under the Italian Mafia rather than being fully part of the cartoonish Godfather-ish gameplay. Mafia III is a fine, if a little basic, open-world crime action.

I am about the only one who liked XCOM‘s bastard child, The Bureau, so when XCOM: G.I. Ranger Who was announced, I was excited. The final game from the initial offerings for the month, you can pick up XCOM: Chimera Squad for GOG right now. Chimera Squad is the one set 5 years after the events of XCOM 2 and confined to a very small section of the Earth after almost all the aliens were either dead or accepted Peter Capaldi’s fantastic speech about war in “The Zygon Inversion.” However, purists and hardcore XCOM fans might be less enthused by its smaller-scale and overall simpler approach.

On to the 11th, and it is another one of those GOG offerings, following (almost) all the good stuff being out of the way. We’ll be returning to this a lot, but mc2games’ February 2021 offering, Tested On Humans: Escape Room, is another one of mc2games’ specialties. Out of the studio’s 11 titles (including upcoming games), it is another escape-the-room thing you’ll play once for maybe an hour or two and never think about it again.

Indeed, the cliff was sore as we came down it. Also available on the 11th for GOG is Goonswarm Games’ 2024 turn-based Rogue-like with middling reviews, Sin Slayers: Reign of the 8th. I won’t lie, I’d never heard of it, and neither have you. Its art style isn’t appealing, its gameplay is really grindy, and generally speaking, there are better things on offer: Turn-based strategies, Rogue-likes, and RPGs to play.

Not that the next game is that. Again, available on the 11th and this time through the Epic Games Store, you can pick up Indie.io’s 2024 retro-inspired beat ’em up, G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra. Indeed, if you are suffering from a heavy dose of nostalgia and have no cure to hand (like a Cobain-style shotgun), you’ll enjoy gameplay that peaked in the 80s and 90s. I’m not saying Wrath of Cobra is bad; it isn’t; it is just a game aimed at a narrow audience that either don’t care or already own it.

From two ideas that were as fresh as dishwater that has gone moldy to something that’s vibrant, colorful, and appropriate for June, “queer AF!” The last offering from the 11th is Paradise Killer, which you can pick up for GOG. In Paradise Killer, you play as lady Phoenix Wright as you collect evidence, interrogate, and make deductions based on events as you see them. You don’t need to be right, you just need to make the argument well enough, which says all it needs to about lawyers – no greater hive of scum and villainy.

I don’t know who finally discovered escape room games at Amazon, but I need them to start playing good games too. We move on to the 18th, and it is another mc2games game. This time, the September 2021 release, Between Time: Escape Room, is available for GOG, and it is more escape-room puzzle gameplay. I have a question: Are escape room games the new point-and-click adventure games? The type of games you need a life-threatening brain injury to truly make sense of and enjoy.

Sticking with GOG and the 18th, you will also have Sugardew Island available if you don’t have Harvest Moon at home. Another cutesy farming sim title that’s fully 3D and very colorful, but lacks that thing to put it over the top and make you remember it over its counterparts. My editor might say it is bad, but there are undoubtedly worse versions of the same thing by more creatively bankrupt people who can’t add anything interesting of their own. There has to be, right?

Well, this one has a nice, snappy title, doesn’t it? Again, on the 18th and available through GOG, you can pick up Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905. As I’ve said of titles like it, it is a game older than dust itself, and that is coming from the dust that came after it. First released in 1996, this 2023 release (pulling from Steam) is supposed to work for modern systems and let you play out battles with the advent of the “percussion rifle.” From the Civil War that Americans won’t shut up about, the Franco-Prussian War, the Russo-Japanese War, and more.

Listen, truth be told, I don’t hate these nostalgic inclusions. In this case, it includes a bit of history of the world as well as gaming history, but that’s also the problem. Though Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 was Computer Gaming World‘s 1996 runner-up for “Wargame of the Year,” the average early 30s to mid-20s person doesn’t care about this archaic game.

What I do hate, however, is having to talk about Orangepixel games, especially one of its games with 1/3 of its reviews being negative. Available from the 18th of June for GOG, you can pick up Space Grunts 2. Released in 2020, and a sequel to the 2016 turn-based Rogue-like, Space Grunts 2 changes up the formula by making it a card-battling Rogue-like with “a 1950s sci-fi setting.” Whatever that means.

Oh, I can make this worse. Moving on to the 25th of June and the Epic Games Store, you can pick up Space Grunts: Chrono Shard, a sequel to the sequel(?), that seems to return to the action turn-based Rogue-like method. Here is the thing: Epic doesn’t have a listing for it at the time of writing; Steam just has a “2026” release window, and to quote the Steam page again, “AI was used to localize the in-game text.” Speaking directly to Orangepixel right now: There is nothing positive about your existence in the creative space.

Now, normally, I’d bemoan the Legacy Games offering and rightfully so. However, this month I actually like the offer on the 25th. Shock, horror, and who killed Diana (Liz!)? Originally released in 2022, Thomas Waterzool’s Please, Touch The Artwork is a wholesome puzzle game that uses the art style of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian to kind of just make art… fun? When we talk about art seriously, it is often with a snobbish attitude while quaffing something that’s stupid expensive. Please, Touch the Artwork makes it fun and accessible, but also, most importantly, engaging to talk about artwork and its composition.

I thought I’d covered Artefacts Studio’s 2018 title before, but it appears I haven’t outside of free offerings on Epic. Available from the 25th for the Amazon Games App, the first of two offerings on there, Terraforming Mars was transformed from the cardboard board game that it was to a digital version by the Nahealbeuk developer. In essence, Terraforming Mars asks you to play as a corporation and do as it says on the tin, with three parameters needing to be completed for you to have terraformed Mars. Not exactly breaking new ground with this one.

The final game for the month, and also available for the Amazon Games App from the 25th, is Ocean Drive Studio’s Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. Released last October, this turn-based Rogue-lite strategy RPG is the sequel to the 2022 release that looks rather dated as is. As RPG/JRPG-infused titles, they are dated, despite this sequel’s better character art. Not overwhelmingly reviewed in either direction, there are certainly problems with difficulty, design choices, and beyond. Generally, it seems you need to be sold on Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch from the word go.
