Patapon I guess? What a shitty month. Although that might be a me problem considering I don't know half the titles in the list.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Probably System Shock 2 from June, I definitely won't be rushing that game and my recent second playthrough of SS1 took over 30 hours.

Eriksholm is definitely missing from the list, looks like a very solid candidate for the fans of stealth games.

 

[Judge Magister]

Weak month to be honest.

Probably Wuchang.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Bananza only for now and maybe Wuchang. Will be too busy with DS2

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Finished DOOM The Dark Ages, going to carry on playing Expedition 33 on the PC, and Oblivion remastered on the PS5.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Death Stranding 2 then Donkey Kong for me

 

[TintoConCasera]

Backlog month for me.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Little Mac]

After playing the demo … let's f-ing go!

Also hopefully platinum Spider-man 2 like I did the other two games. And I have to restart Expedition 33 because life got busy and I had to put it down for a couple weeks. Such an amazing game. I'm on the fence in regards to Death Stranding 2.

 

[Paasei]

Might give Death Stranding a 3rd try, lol. And given how long that takes, that would go well into July. If that fails again, I probably treat myself and buy Stellar Blade PC.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

If the weather hold I'll be continuing my DQVIII playthrough on my handheld out on the porch.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Hopefully DK:Bonanza

 

[vaibhavpisal]

System Shock 2 console version
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

Both are probably but highly likely.

 

[GymWolf]

Shit month, i guess i'm still gonna be playing fedex 2 and darktide.

 

[Baemono]

Finish FF7 Rebirth (currently in chapter 13), Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2, and then see if I want to continue AC Shadows. And of course Donkey Kong

 

[Robb]

 

[Impotaku]

While I like to bounce between new games and older stuff in my library I have a feeling fantasy life will remain glued in my switch for the foreseeable future it's consumed my soul & I can't leave it alone. It's stardew valley levels of addictive. Really should come with a health warning lol.

Is it as grindey as they say towards the end?

 

[Impotaku]

Is it as grindey as they say towards the end?

Yes and no, it's like the 3DS one where the end game you need certain materials but to get them you need to be high level which means grinding a lot as some stuff is behind level caps that you need to be at for items to drop or to be able to make stuff.

The dangerous part is the game makes it where you have so much fun stuff to do you don't realise your grinding that much. One quick go to do a specific thing turns into a multi hour tangent of doing a bunch of stuff.

The most grind reliant part is when you get to late end game where you can craft equipment to bind certain stats where you can remake to reroll the stats and keep the good ones and make them stack making stupidly powerfully broken gear. Stuff like been able to make it where a piece of gear has a 20% boost to making rare items drop. Make it into a full set of 5 items and equip the lot then you have basically 100% drop for and rare item drops. Stuff like that makes it a game that will last a loooong time especially with level 5 adding new content to it.

 

[yogaflame]

By July I will continue playing Death stranding 2 on the way to platinum.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Just this one + backlog stuff:

 

[drganon]

Going to finish up atelier ryza 3 as quick as I can so I can play death stranding 2 next.

 

[t_wilson01]

I've been playing FF7R. I was able to beat Weiss two days ago. It feels good.

 

[marcincz]

Mafia III + some dlcs

Finished MI and MII on June and I am almost ready for August debut of Mafia the Old Country.

 

[Instant_Classic]

Nothing

 

[ElFenomeno]

Day one for Wuchang.

 

[Punished Miku]

• 7/11 - Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4
• 7/17 - Donkey Kong Bananza
• 7/23 - Wheel World
• 7/24 - Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
• 7/29 - Grounded 2
• 7/31 - Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

 

[Bond007]

Death Stranding 2 and Donkey Kong Bonanza

 

[Mister Wolf]

Donkey Kong and Shadow Labyrinth on the Switch 2



Extended gameplay. Shadow Labyrinth looks like it will be just as good or better than Hollow Knight.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Potentially Killing Floor 3 if they can turn it around.

 

[yamaci17]

wuchang and ninja gaiden probably

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm playing that awesome game known as "complaining about games on the internet". It's on its 8th remake.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Death Stranding 2 will last me well towards the end of July, also interested in Wuchang

 

[touchfuzzy]

DK Bananza the big day one for me, and Tony Hawk as my wife wants to try it (very rare).

Also interested in these smaller type releases:

Islanders: New Shores - great unwind / chill out game, and it's cheap.
Shadow Labyrinth - could be a good Metroidvania but will watch for reviews, comes out the day after DK so won't be a day one
Ninja Gaiden Ragebound - looks awesome and demo was a blast, very likely a dayone.

All on my Switch 2!

 

[stn]

I pre-ordered Wuchang, and Ragebound. I'll probably stick to my backlog before starting either game. I'm behind on games like E33, Khazan, BG3, etc...

 

[blacktout]

This. I also have Patapon and Shadow Labyrinth wishlisted, but I will probably wait for a sale on those.

 

[Rush2112]

FFXIV

 

[jshackles]

Already pre-ordered Donkey Kong, and might pick up Shadow Labyrinth if reviews seem good.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

 

[AJUMP23]

I will have a Football Bonanza month. I have to finish the Alters first though.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

DK for sure along with the Switch backlog that's been building for way too long.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I am going to be hitting some half-pipes (and quarter-pipes) in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4!
