* System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster (June 26)

   It's a remaster so I immediately dislike it, but it's

Yeah, it's not a great month for PC Game releases.

Part of this is, of course, because we're in the doldrums of summer*
and this traditionally is when there are fewest games released. But I
also suspect a lot of publishers pushed back their releases just to
avoid the rush around the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, which
doubtlessly will dominate the market this month. There are A LOT of
Switch 2 games being released in June.


"System Shock 2" is the only "Oh, I know I'm gonna get that one!" in
the list, but "Alters", "Minds Eye" and "NWO Anarchy Collapsed" might
be worth my keeping an eye on. If the reviews are favorable, they may
(eventually) find their way into my library.
