As we enter the last week of June. we're looking at AA title as this week's big release and it involves scantily clad men and women in a ring. The rest of this coming week's releases involve farming on alien planets, feuds with friends, oldtimers, tricky ghosts and a pair of turn-based games.

AEW Fight Forever / This week's AA title / Thursday 29 June
Developed by YUKE's, AEW: Fight Forever combines nostalgic arcade-wrestling with All Elite Wrestling finishers and moves. Featuring a big roster of AEW talent, multiple match types, robust career mode, tons of customization options, more than 40 weapons, and so much more!





One Lonely Outpost / Monday 26 June
An alien world sometimes needs a farmer's touch to bring it to life. In this sci-fi, colonization-life sim, terraform a barren world: turn wastelands into verdant landscapes while exploring, farming, building, and unlocking all the mysteries of this strange new planet.



Feudal Friends / Tuesday 27 June

Revival: Recolonization / Wednesday 28 June
Set in a post-apoc version of Earth, Revival is a 4x strategy game where the world and its rules can change at key moments, creating a deep and highly replayable experience. Explore a transformed planet, negotiate or conquer new territories and bring the light of civilization to regressing human colonies in order to prepare mankind for war with a despotic entity.



SlavicPunk: Oldtimer / Wednesday 28 June
The game is an isometric shooter. The story revolves around Yanus- a private investigator with a troubled past trying to solve the case of stolen data while fighting his inner demons, urban gangs and an omnipotent corporation responsible for the decay of the city he once used to call his own.



Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective / Thursday 29 June
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, the classic puzzle-solving mystery adventure directed by Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi, is back! This long-awaited HD remaster features upgraded visuals and sound and new gallery content.

We are going to remember this day for the rest of our lives. This is one for the history books.

For over 30 years developers and gamers have been dreaming of this.
Hours put in by developers: countless.
Discussions: endless.

This time I dont think there will be much of a discussion. Trolls and fanboys are probably going to sit this one out.

AEW Forever is the first to achieve true realism. I think we all can agree... The game actually looks more realistic than the real thing.


The fact that this was pulled off without needing a $2000+ GFX is kind of funny.

If it can give the feeling of Epyx Wrestling it should be successful.

"one lonely outpost" could be interesting but i'm really off put by the low resolution pixel art style, it's 2023 ffs give me RT-levels of graphic fidelity, not Amiga-era graphics...
And no, chalking it up to "artistic choice" is BS excuse to cover lazyness and/or very low funds to develop.
