I remember when the summer games used to be exciting.

I don't. It must have been so long ago.

 

[The Catboy]

I don't. It must have been so long ago.

Son of a bitch, I just revealed that I am old!

System Shock 2 remastered is fun and easily my favorite on that list! I loved the remake of the first game in 2023. If you play it, you'd be amazed at how many games were "inspired" by it. It's quite difficult though.

Oh, and if you didn't know, System Shock 2 remastered was released in June for PC.

 

[RyanTheArchivist]

And for the KEY Visual Novel fans Rewrite Harvest Festa releases on Steam on Jul 14.

 

[Skelletonike]

I'll only be getting Shadow Labyrinth this month for the Switch (with Switch 2 upgrade).

 

[thekarter104]

Ninja Gaiden: Rage bound.

I used to rage at the NES version.

Man, Donkey Kong Bananza is only about ten days away. I'm interested to see what fan reactions will be.

If it's made by the Super Mario Odyssey team, will it be too similar? Will it be considered a good Donkey Kong game?

 

[Tipi]

"Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition"

I wonder if they will also adapt the original's horribad optimization, countless bugs, and other assorted jank to 2025 standards to fulfill the expectations of the "modern-day audience"... It was all part of the game's charm, after all!

 

[Costello]

I wonder why they don't release any good games early in the summer, when people have the most free time and all
this list is quite sad, from my perspective.
