Floor is Jelly any good? Just noticed that Disasterpeace did the music which is a good way of getting my attention.

I was waiting for the controller support, which it now has but is buggy (you have to plug in the controller after starting the game, never heard of a game having that problem before).

So I'm playing Astebreed - this is all kinds of batshit insane in a way that only japanese games can be.

What is good about the game other than the craziness of the action? Content? Mechanics? Controls?

I didn't realise you wanted DETAILS man...

I'm only a few chapters in - the action is crazy, the story is... I have NO idea what's going on in the story. There's some interesting mechanics as well that I don't fully understand just yet - the controls are pretty tight so far though.

I THINK that there's a robot suit inhabited by the spirit of my daughter? I can never catch the subtitles because I'm too busy blowing stuff up.

I'm at work all day tomorrow as well but I'll try and sink enough hours in tonight and tomorrow night to maybe have something up with structure and sense to it on Monday or Tuesday.

It's been a real struggle for me recently to find games I'm excited about - Sunless Sea I'm absolutely ready for, but I've played through a host of the games in the OP, nothing on consoles has me too excited either - summer drought I guess? Or am I missing good stuff?

Jet Forced is a 2D platform action indie game that's full of NEStalgia. Full of action, gunfights, bosses and explosions so if you're into the whole NES vibe you should love this.

Still working on the next OP. How the hell did we fill up this thread with 90 games for the "released" section of june (+45 unreleased)? NINETY, with almost 40,000 characters in a 24,000 character limit post. Thats enough for two threads.

For some reason, I thought the same thing. I am cutting down the numbers now, but man. So many interesting games, quite a few expensive ones too though.
