Only Tales of Berseria. Great game, but really not much better than Zestiria, which I enjoyed.
I've also been playing Atelier Rorona and Fire Emblem Echoes, over halfway through with both.

This past month I just finished 3 games:
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - Episode 5 (PC)
Overall, I liked New Frontier. But I won't deny it was like filler. But it actually felt better to have Javier as the main character than Clem.
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood (PC) - Main Story
Really liked the main story of this expansion. Dungeons were also great, same with the new maps. My only disappointment, and that is from personal taste, is that the soundtrack isn't as great as Heavensward or A Realm Reborn.
Trails in the Sky The 3rd (PC)
This is Persona 3 The Answer done right. Good story, characters continue to shine, gameplay is still superb, and it never felt boring or I was forced to grind. There were some difficult battles of course, but were quite a delight. Loved the ending too. And from the entire trilogy, this one has the best soundtrack.

I had a good month:
Soul blazer(snes)
Simple but fun game. Pretty easy except for some bosses.
Portal (xbox one bc)
I started this game in 2011 byt never finished it. Last friday, I played it in one sitting. Loved every minute of it. The humor and the puzzles kept me going.
Another world (xbox one)
I cant believe I skipped on this game for so long. Really a gem and a great accomplishment for its time. Very short and satisfying.
Insanely twisted shadow planet (xbox one bc)
I've been wanting to play this game since it came out but never got it for some reason. After playing it, I am kinda disapointed. It felt kinda bland with arkward controls.
Hitman go (android)
Fun puzzler to play on the go. It makes me want to play the latest hitman.
Assault android cactus (ps4)
I love twin stick shooters and this one is a very good one. Tons of characters with different playstyle. I'll probably replay it.
Ys memory of celceta (vita)
Enjoyable hack and slash. The story is simple and straight forward but the gameplay is the best part.

Both were amazing and much better than I expected. I think those were the first games I played with Japanese voices!
Also got platinum trophy for N++ after getting a second controller! One of the best games of my life! I hope they'll release Ultimate update for PS4 soon.

Replayed Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition on PC (no mods), and that was pretty much it.
Some of it was worse than I remember, but I still had some fun playing through the base game and the Shivering Isles.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight - Steam:
Great little compact Metroidvania. Expected to like it, but ended up really loving it.
4/5
Momodora III - Steam:
Really enjoyed RUtM which was number 4 so I had to play this.
3/5
Arms - Switch:
Haven't spent enough time with this, roughly 10 hours. Just didn't pull me in enough.
3.5/5
Pokémon: Magikarp Jump - iOS:
Hyper addicting non-game. A fun addicting diversion. Completed all available content.
4/5
Fairune - 3DS:
Strange 'Zelda-lite' experience. I believe it was based off the fetch quest side quests from Link's Awakening.
3.5/5
Gravity Rush 2 - PS4:
Platinumed the Remaster in May. Wasn't feeling Gravity Rush 2 as much in the beginning because of the mining segments and the unnecessary accessories you could get, but once the section/arc ended and the game opened up, it was awesome. Took me like 40 hours to beat all the story missions/challenges/side quests.
4.5/5
Jazzpunk - Steam
Silly ridiculous game. A little too silly for me, but it was cool.

Had a few games to wrap up: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Final Fantasy XV and Witcher 3. Really happy to cross all three of these off my to-do list, since it will let me focus on one game at a time moving forward.
That would be terrible, there's no conflict at all there

Finished Resident Evil 7. Really happy with it and definitely my GOTY so far.
Before that, I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn which I was certainly liking but didn't grab me as much as Resident Evil did. Hopefully I'm able to finish it this month.

Hitting my minimum target of four games for June:
28. SUPERHOT (Steam) - 2 June 2017
All main levels completed; all challenges completed except for NoRestart and SpeedrunRT (and FunFunFun).
SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years. If you've played it, you'll know what I mean.
29. NieR: Automata (PS4) - 19 June 2017
Platinum trophy (legitimately, without any use of the trophy shop); 100% completion except for fishing intel. Platinum's 'character action' games don't tend to be my thing, but after giving the demo a go and having great fun and given the glowing impressions from many here on GAF I was persuaded to pick this up - and I'm very glad that I did! The combat mechanics aren't overly deep, but that's probably a good thing for my ability to get through the game, and there's enough that the game remains satisfying to play. The world that's been crafted here is very unusual, to say the least, and all the more intriguing as a result - a must for a game that styles itself as an RPG in large part. Perhaps the game's greatest asset, though, is its stunning soundtrack; in particular, the rendition of Weight of the World in the final credits will stay with me for a good long while!

30. RiME (PS4) - 25 June 2017
Platinum trophy. Well, this turned out very nicely - RiME really is a beautiful game. Nothing too taxing, but the light puzzles are still satisfying to solve, the environments are enjoyable to explore and there's quite an affecting payoff that comes with the game's ending. There are a couple of areas that could use slightly better signposting over where you need to go, but all in all, my time with RiME was a very well-spent few hours.
31. CrossCells (Steam) - 27 June 2017
50/50 puzzles solves; 100% of achievements. Not as superb as the HexCells trilogy, but this is another solid puzzle game from Matthew Brown. The game is somewhat more reliant on maths/mental arithmetic that I typically like in puzzle games, which is worth bearing in mind if you're considering a purchase. However, after this feeling peaking around halfway through the puzzles, I found this then gradually to become less of an issue as I become more adept at spotting the key patterns that allow progress to be made, without as much trial-and-error of potential scenarios.

Pretty late to the party, but it was an amazing game. Not sure what people who said the game is shit are smoking. It's a pretty solid Souls game which is much better than most games of the same genre out there. Sure some of the bosses and places are somewhat underwhelming compared to other games (haven't played DSIII), but it's still a decent Souls game.

I almost skipped it because so many people talked shit about it. I wasn't sure if it was worth it but I'm so glad I did play it. It has flaws for sure but it's my most played Soulsborne game per single playthrough. Only Bloodborne beats it because I've played through it more than once.
At first the changes to health didn't really sit well with me. I hated that every time I died my health bar would gradually get smaller. After a few hours once I settled into the game/died less it wasn't so bad and then when I found the ring that stops it going below 75% (instead of 50%) that made it much better. The change to estus shards I really liked as I wasn't a fan of how it worked in DS1 maybe because I have flashbacks of suicide running into the catacombs countless times trying to fight Pinwheel!
The controls really bothered me. When I was pressing a button it felt like there was a delay between pressing and the action happening. I died so many times because of it. Everyone said I should level up Agility which I did but I can't tell if it made a difference. It felt better but I don't know if it was because I levelled the stat up or because I just got more used to the controls. Even towards the end of the game it didn't feel anywhere as smooth as the first game.
The bosses quite disappointed me. A lot of them felt just too easy. The only ones off the top of my head that I had bother with were Smelter Demon, Pursuer, and Throne Watcher/Defender. What I really liked about the game though was the world which felt like it has a lot of variety and that weren't all connected. It blew my mind in DS1 how everything was connected together which was cool but something about DS2 being disconnected was also great. I like that the world was split into different paths. For example, you start off in Majula then if you go to Tower of Flame and keep progressing you'll get to Lost Bastille. Or if you go to Huntsman's Copse you'll end up in Iron Keep. You can't travel on foot between these paths without returning to Majula and that made each path feel like it's own journey.
I think I'll definitely replay it at some point. I can understand why people hate on it but it's really not a bad game. It's only because it's compared to the first game. If you just take it as it is then it's really enjoyable I think.

BotW - well, beat the last 'main' quest. Still have some things left to do but I am taking a break from it. I neglected too many titles this year because of it and I am moving soon so the time for gaming is evaporating quickly.
I purchased Mass Effect: Andromeda for $20 this weekend. I hope to finish it in under 40 hours.

Gears of War 4 (PC).
I had some hassle getting this to run above 20fps at first, but after a lot of fiddling and trawling forums, I sussed out some Gigabyte software that came with my motherboard was the culprit. Once that was removed, the game ran like a dream with all of the bells and whistles cranked up to 11, and it looks pretty fantastic, but not in the league of the likes of Rise of the Tomb Raider for graphical prowess.
In terms of gameplay, I thought GoW 4 was very tight and enjoyable. The Coalition have definitely played it safe, but they seem to have a very good handle on what makes the series so fun to play. The downside for me was that GoW4 takes itself a bit too seriously and lacks a bit of the humour and subtle nods and winks to the ridiculousness of the story that the first 3 games had.
If I had to assign a rating I'd go with an 8 out of 10. GoW is solid and well made, but isn't particularly memorable and I never really warmed to the new characters, who all seemed a bit dull to me.
