June 2026

A weird month. I think I had plenty of free time, but you wouldn’t guess it from the progress I made on my lists. A big part of it is just the World Cup, which consumed most of my free time earlier on, but now I kind of burned out from it a bit so back to gaming it is.

Vibes wise, it was a bit all over. Batman Arkham City was a bit meh, it’s still a great game but I preferred the smaller world with Metroidvania structure from the first game to this endlessly open-yet-boring world we have here. The levels are still great, but the city kind of sucks to traverse. The new gadgets are fun but I felt pacing suffered. Oh well. Bookwalker is also a lost game, I’m not sure it knows what it wants to be and neither do I, but I don’t think you should play it to find out. Ridge Racer Type 4 is literally the kind of game I needed the most this month, turn off your brain and have fun. Charming, great OST, interesting plot and cutscenes to add some spice to it, and just damn blind fun to race around. I’ll be playing it on and off for a while, I can see. And finally, Roadwarden was probably my highlight this month. What a gem. This is a game that deserves to be played. Loved every second of it.

4 SG wins, 4 beaten games … the balance was kept. But I need to stop joining GAs sooner than later. The backlog keeps growing.

Plan for July is focus on PoP. Tackle some of the smaller ones first and see if I can make it to the longer ones. Started with Bayonetta and want to beat at least that + Black The Fall. Happy gaming!
