I think I skipped a week announcing these games. But we didn't really
miss out on anything because there are only two new games on Amazon
Prime Gaming since last time I posted an update.

* Wytchwood
A "crafting adventure game set in a land of gothic fables and
fairytales," is how it describes itself. With a top-down viewpoint and
"storybook art style" it is very reminiscent of old-school RPGs,
except the game's primary goal doesn't seem to be to Save The World
(tm) but instead... to craft? Frankly, I tired of all these crafting
mechanics over a decade ago, but if its still your thing - and you can
dig the family-friendly vibe of the game - maybe give this one a try.

* Lunar Axe
This game is on Amazon's Luna service. Looks like another hidden-item
pixel-hunt game.

So, not a great outing this time, but we're coming to the start of a
new month, and that's usually when Amazon puts out the good stuff. It
makes you wonder why they've bothered with a weekly schedule if
there's no real point to checking in more than once a month?

Oh well, it gives me a reason to post on Usenet.

Not off to a great start for the month but it picks up later for me with
two, maybe three, games that I'll claim. That justifies my subscription
for the month and last month I got lucky as I needed to get a new frying
pan and got one in one of those Prime one day specials at half price.
