Most of these games are exclusive to their respective channels, which means that to access Luna’s full list of games, you’ll need to pay $41/month on top of your Amazon Prime subscription.īut is this a slightly backward way of thinking about it. There are a few other channels, including the Family Channel for $5.99 per month, the Retro Channel for $4.99 per month, and the Jackbox Games Channel for $4.99 per month. (Ubisoft+’s PC-only plan costs a little less than $14.99.)

Your $17.99 subscription allows you to play locally on PC or stream on Stadia. This channel costs $17.99 per month but is not owned by Luna. The second big channel is reserved for Ubisoft+, which features big-name games from the studio, including Riders Republic, Far Cry 6: Ultimate Edition, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Complete Edition, and more. Amazon is clearly thinking of it as a cherry-on-top of Amazon Prime, rather than the kind of killer feature that users will have to pay $14.99 per month to start subscribing. At the time of publication, the group was Steel Assault, Mist, Control and Garfield Kart. The previous group offered Overcooked 2, Mega Man 11, Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Skatebird. This is a relatively small group, although they do move around from time to time. This one game page is about as good as they come – it’s robust and useful and I really enjoyed clicking around, checking out the streamers playing each game, and watching some of the trailers.Īll Amazon Prime members can access a handful of games for free. You can also read a quick Metacritic breakdown and see more Luna games by the publisher. Tapping into a game lets you quickly start playing, add to playlists (which act as a collection of your favorites), or view trailers, screenshots, or even streamers currently playing the game. While the games are still packed in carousels and rows, each has large, colorful cover art. Luna’s mobile app (or browser-based app in the case of iOS) is pretty neat. From top to bottom, you’ll see two unrelated-to-Luna toolbars, Then Beneath it all, you’ll finally arrive at Luna’s curated content. Developer Ubisoft Annecy also made the snowboarding-focused Steep, and this is basically a sequel but with a mountain (literally) of other activities throw in.However, on the browser, the interface is a bit messy. Riders Republic feels like four or five games stitched together in the same space, and miraculously, almost all of it is fun and fully thought out. Once you meet up with the game’s two main characters, you find the implausible setting hosts downhill biking, mountain biking, trick BMXing, snowboarding, speed skating, trick snowboarding, wingsuits, and even jetpacks. Imagine Action Park with a lot of Red Bull and an entire ecosystem as a playground, and you’re close to the health and safety nightmare that is Riders Ridge. You play as a thrill-seeking extreme sports enthusiast taking part in a massive, deeply unsafe, and completely unorganised event in the area. It’s not the sort of place you’d go looking for a nice quiet retreat though, in fact it’s exactly the opposite. Riders Republic hosts an approximation of Yosemite National Park in the US, but it also ties together woodland, snowy mountaintops, and Arizona like deserts.
