For myself, the first game with any interest is MonHan Stories as I liked the second game, not sure if I'd just buy the first on PSN for £25 or the physical & flog the code for the second on eBay. Then there's the option of just getting it on 3DS, as kinda building up my 3DS collection up a tad and think it is around £20, may even drop in price after this HD version.

I thought SMTV was pretty poor, maybe the doubling of content will make it better and tad annoying if you own on Switch, you just can't buy the second story as DLC, that's Atlus for you. I guess for a Balla or someone, this is the now the way to go if you do want to check it out.

Still Wakes the Deep, I have pre-ordered on PS5 as it is physical (Can only see it on Amazon as well) on that, which I'm all about. I've liked Chinese Room's previous games, and 1970s Scotland (all voice actors from Scotland as well) at Christmas on an oil rig sounds an interesting setting.  

SPYxANYA: Operation Memories gives me Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation -The Endless Seven-Day Journey vibes that I liked a lot a few years ago, just I know nothing about SPYxFAMILY (I knew nothing about Shin-chan either)  and think theirs a new Shin-chan game coming and a standard summer vacation game.

The last two games of the month are £20 each on PS5, making the Evercade cart with them both on for £18 look like a good deal.

Of course the big thing in June is the Elden Ring Expansion Shadow of the Erdtree, I look forward to hearing about it, and I'm still yet to give Elden Ring a bash maybe all the talk around this will give me FOMO, and I'll start the base game. Then there's all the gaming showcases, euros for football fans in June.

Overall think a backlog month, or if I see some deals, as Still Wakes the Deep is the only day one as all the rest I can wait for sales or not too sure about.

Nah.

If you've not done them Outer Wilds, do them Outer Wilds.

I have though, so nothing for me.

Probably nothing here too, I'm a shill for Nintendo so there's a chance I'll pick up Luigi's Mansion 2, Citizen Sleeper is another game I've been meaning to play so the physical release might push me towards playing it.

Of course I'll be playing the Elden Ring DLC eventually, but as I haven't even applied to move my internet yet, let alone actually had it taken care of, who knows if I'll be there day one :/

You know it's a bad month when the true Nintendo Shill @Balladeer says nah to a month with a bunch of Switch exclusives, @Treesmurf.

Outer Wilds what I played wasn't for me,  @Jimbob but good to see it get a physical, like as I say one of the reasons getting Still Wakes the Deep via Amazon and the reasons I'm still yet to get Hifi Rush as the physical LRG are doing, though now Tango shutdown, not sure if I'll get it.

That’s an all right month for me. Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble won’t be the greatest game of all time but I’m getting it and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it over the summer. I’m not sure how much Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked Collection is going to cost, but under fifteen quid would make it a straightforward and immediate download.

It's £24.99 on PSN

I've not really played Monkey Ball since the Gamecube. After you've had a bash of this one, I'll come to you for advice on whether to pick this up or the HD remasters of the classics.

We got some June games not on the list, such as Octopath 1 on PSN and Octopath 2 on XBN (and Game Pass) both out now. We see Echo Generation: Midnight Edition on eShop June 19th, a Riven Remake for VR June 25th, with Until Then (Gives me A Space for the Unbound vibes) on PSN the same day.

I also come to you about July's games, which has a big f2p title coming to PSN, Jay's GOTY an expansion to a MMO, a JRPG Balla & Myself might get as we can jump right into this one, bunch of cool looking indies and new hardware from Evercade.

Name ides like always for next weekend when July will be going up.
