With Redfall, a game that many had high hopes for ending up being a huge disappointment while System Shock was the complete opposite. Far Cry 6? I got it in 2021 as a bonus for the CPU I bought 2020.

It's Ubisoft. They kept many of their games away from Steam during several years, until decided to bring them back this year.

Something similar happened in March with some CoD titles.

I see this is the month Ubisoft came back to Steam, as well as some other EGS timed exclusives.

I still have to play Age of Wonders 3 before I consider getting 4.

A note about Friends vs Friends: Deluxe Edition Content, it will be removed from sale when the expansion Nerdvana is released. It's basically a bundle of the two expansion.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 seems to be a disappointment based on player reviews. As was Redfall. Torchlight: Infinite was also a letdown, shame since I enjoyed the previous games.

Railway Empire 2 reminds how much I want a game like Transport Tycoon with modern graphics.

I am interested in Silica and The Outlast Trials, but I'm waiting for the early access period to end. I already own Tape to Tape, but again waiting for it to leave early access.

As for rest what catches my eye are System Shock, Tale of Immortal, and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.

With Redfall, a game that many had high hopes for ending up being a huge disappointment while System Shock was the complete opposite. By the way, there is another game in the list: Only Up! But the game has been pulled out of Steam (it was the first game of a solo developer and it was too much for him. He explains it in a blog post), so I've decided to not include it in the list since it's no longer for sale.

Still haven't gotten around to try Age of Wonders 3, not 4 is already out...

Darkest Dungeon II... I got the first one, but it never really clicked for me. Probably the same problem as with Fallen London, simply to bleak for my liking.

Didi it really took that long for System Shock to come to Steam? It's been on GOG since forever

This is the remake that released in May. I doubt that has been on GOG since forever :P

Ah okay, now I understand.

i thought the face in the picture looked somewhat different, but I couldn't put my finger on it...

Ubi came back to Steam last December, when they brought the AC Valhalla and other games, but instead of bringing them all at the same time, they've done it in steps.

Thanks for sharing the news about Friends vs Friends.

And yeah, it was a month with surprises. Some games that were supposed to be great turned out to be duds, while others like the System Shock Remake, Bolton or even the Starship Troopers game have beaten expectations and are quite good, judging by the user reviews.

Poor Boffer. A weekend is no longer rest enough for you, you need vacation.

We're almost there, so let's check the best new releases of June:

By the way, GOG's Winter Sale is now giving away Lost Ruins, in case anyone wants it: https://www.gog.com/en/game/lost_ruins

Hmm almost missed this thread so I'll join up unless it makes things odd then feel free to leave me out.

and here's the wishlist

Aliens: Dark Descent, Amnesia: The Bunker, Park Beyond are the ones that stand out.

I thought DAVE THE DIVER had been released in the end of the year since I've only started hearing about it recently.

So much noise was made over Six Days in Fallujah, all it did is make more people aware about the game.

Hey! It's good to see you back in this thread.

Of course you're welcome to join, the deadline for joining is tomorrow, the 20th.

You didn't catch all the talk about Dave the Diver back when it launched? Wow. It was almost everywhere thanks to being one those games that come out of nowhere to become a huge hit.
