Our June games picks

Each month a slew of new games come to Play. To help you find ones you’ll love, we – the Play editors – are sharing our favorite recent releases. Our Spotlight title is a game that’s won our hearts with stunning visuals, intuitive gameplay, or pure simplistic fun – we know you’ll love our pick of the month.

Assume the role of a gutsy adventurer in this 16-bit retro roguelike with infinite replayability. The world has been plunged into sinister darkness, the looping path ahead is unfamiliar, and the end is nowhere in sight.

Defeat enemies to recover and equip precious loot, and use the cards you collect to place new enemies and terrains along the path. As you alter and optimize the loop, your hero will start to recover crucial memories. With each expedition providing a unique experience, Loop Hero is just as innovative and complex as it is hard to put down. Can you find a way to break the cycle of chaos and misery?

Whether they amused, soothed, scared or tested us, these Highlights are an ensemble of our favorite games this month.

For those with an appetite for the alternative, the Indie Highlights collection presents this month’s best new Indie games on Play.
