The games of June

Well, that’s May over with. Which means you’re finished with Zelda and ready to move on to something new, right? Well, probably not, if you’re anything like me (just how good is Zelda, by the way?).

Regardless of whether you’re ready or not, the games industry never stands still, and so June arrives with a brand new batch of games ready to fight for your free time. It’s a pretty good selection too, with fighters, final fantasies, farming sims and pretty much everything in between to choose from.

Here are some of June’s biggest games. Followed by a list of the rest of the month’s main releases. It’s a good’n!

Whether Street Fighter 5 was a disaster, an entirely competent fighter in its own right, or somewhere in between depends on who you ask. But it seems nobody is arguing about the quality of Street Fighter 6. With stellar reviews across the board, it seems safe to say that this is the return to form fans have been waiting for.

There’s little better than one of gaming’s old guard making a stunning modern comeback, and everything points to Street Fighter 6 keeping the series as relevant for the foreseeable future as it was back in the 90s. Capcom is on some hot streak at the moment - long may it continue.
