The June 2024 Gaming Update

Skald: Against the Black Priory

Another quiet month as far as games played. Still focused a bunch on Mahjong Soul, slowly getting closer to Jade Room. I did play a few games, and went back to Balatro a bit because it’s so fucking good. And I tried a fun little thing that I’ll quickly comment on.

Big focus this month will be on all the presentations that happened… I’ll just talk about 3 of them because nothing else was worth talking about. In fact one of the 3 is also not worth talking about, but dunking on Lizardman is worth.

So let’s go!

Video Games coming out in June 2024

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Ayo. It’s another month. June COULD be interesting because it’s “E3” time so a bunch of companies are doing presentations to announce games and stuff… I’d say there’s a solid 2% chance something interesting will be announced, considering how this year has gone so far (if leaks are true we’re at least getting a new Doom, but I put no trust in leaks). The industry is in shambles and basically no game company cares, it’s actually insane.

And if the State of Play from today is any indication, things will continue being shit. I was planning to post about the State of Play separately… but fuck that, it really wasn’t worth it. If I do a post about “E3” presentations I will mention it there, but as it is… the most interesting game was Infinity Nikki, and that’s a previously-announced game… that’s coming to PC (as are all games that were shown in the State of Play, AstroBot might be the one exception)… The PS5 is such a stupid console, don’t buy it đŸ˜€

So for June 2024 I’m highlighting: 7 multiplats, 2 Switch games, a PC release and a PS4 game… Yes, 4. As for big highlights, I can’t say there’s any, considering the biggest thing here is fucking DLC. There’s a few things here I might grab, but it’s another slow month, surprising no one.

Let’s go!

Disclaimer: I only list games that I think are worth mentioning. This includes games I’m personally interested in, games that will likely be popular, highly advertised games, some more niche stuff I may notice, and such. This is not just games I care about myself, I highlight as much as I think makes sense. Of course, I can’t see the future, so I may be missing games and I may be listing games that may get delayed.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin review

Monster Hunter Storiesâ„¢ 2: Wings of Ruin

Monster Hunter Storiesâ„¢ 2: Wings of Ruin

I’m a very new MH fan. I didn’t really get into the series before Rise. I tried a few (mainly on PSP) and it just didn’t click with me at the time. But Rise really got my attention and I loved it. But as such, I missed the first Monster Hunter Stories on 3DS.

But I saw a bunch of this game (Capcom was REALLY pushing this game a lot) and it looked really fun. So I picked it up. And I played through it and started the post-game. So time to review it I guess. Spoilers: I like this game.

Let’s gooooooo!
