Hey folks, so June’s here, and with it comes a mishmash of games that’ll either keep you indoors glued to the screen or, you know, another excuse to procrastinate. Let’s dive into this chaos, shall we?
We start with FBC: Firebreak. It’s like someone took a federal agency and said, “What if we threw some paranormal chaos in there?” Kinda feels like you’re playing ghostbusters with guns—well, not exactly, but you get the vibe. You and your pals (or strangers—yikes) band together in this first-person shooter to tackle some bizarre happenings. Honestly, I think if I saw a ghost, I’d just run the other way.
Then there’s Battlefield 2042. Ah, nostalgia! It’s that all-out warfare, the kind where you’re dodging bullets and hoping not to spawn right in the line of fire. And—oh—Battlefield Portal lets you mess around with maps from previous games. It’s kind of like a greatest hits album but with more explosions.
Moving on. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2. Not gonna lie, those animatronics give me the heebie-jeebies. You’re a Fazbear employee—guess you’re either brave or a bit of a thrill-seeker. Or both? Anyway, you’ve got to keep the place running while avoiding becoming a bear’s midnight snack. Fun times, huh?
Now, if shooting stuff isn’t your jam, how about some hunting? theHunter: Call of the Wild throws you into a breathtaking open world where you get to track animals. The realism is, well, shockingly detailed. Although, I’ve always found the idea of hunting from my couch a bit odd. But there you have it.
For the Katamari fans, there’s We Love Katamari Reroll. You basically roll around picking things up to make stars. I always found it bizarrely therapeutic—until I accidentally rolled over a puppy. Oops! It’s all wrapped up with a shiny new look, so it feels like a fresh paint job on an old favorite.
And let’s not forget Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes. Think epic JRPG adventure. If you’re into recruiting a whole army of quirky characters while saving the world, then there you go. Remember, it was the big deal on Kickstarter not too long ago.
Lastly, this month’s retro vibe is brought by Deus Ex: The Conspiracy. A PS2 classic thrown into the 2052 world of chaos. Think conspiracies and terrorists run amok. Sounds heavy? Yep, but if that’s your thing, it’s all yours to explore on modern consoles now.
Anyway, that’s a wrap on this lineup. Whatever your platform or playstyle, there’s a bit of something for everyone this June. Go ahead and get stuck in—unless, like me, you end up just watching someone else play on YouTube instead. 🤷♂️
