Prime Day is a great time to pick up discounts on gaming, though this time around, Amazon has to contend with going head-to-head with the long-awaited GTA 6 pre-orders (even with physical editions just being a code in a box instead of on disc). There are even some Prime Day deals for getting GTA 6-ready before November's launch date. But I say, while you wait, why not catch up on some classics instead of sweating it about new game FOMO?
Not everything you play has to be the newest game. But, also, not everything retro you play has to be completely old, either. Over this year's Prime Day gaming deals, I've noticed a large number of retro game remakes and remasters. Ranging from faithful ports and recreations to luscious rebuilds, there's a variety of approaches to the same thing: retro games can just be rad.
Below, I've collected together the remakes and remasters I genuinely think are well worth playing, many of which are at some of the lowest prices I've seen yet. I've focused on some true classics here, but have also included a couple of redos of some more recent games, and a couple of throwbacks as well. Mainly because I also think those games are great, and if you like the other retro recommendations, then I think you'd like those too. Any excuse for me to celebrate all things retro. Read on for my Prime Day retro remakes and remaster deals below!
