Each month, Microsoft gives away free games to its loyal Xbox Live Gold subscribers. While subscribers still have several days left to get free copies of this month’s remaining Games with Gold (Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris and Lego Star Wars Complete Saga) we now know what games Microsoft has planned for June.

Starting June 1st, Xbox One owners can download SpeedRunners, a multiplayer-focused game that combines wall jumping, grappling hooks, and colorful costumes. The game plays like a combination of Super Meat Boy and Mario Kart, as players can pick up various weapons to screw with the competition. SpeedRunners is a frantic masterpiece and the perfect way to kill half an hour. Xbox 360 owners, on the other hand, will receive Assassin’s Creed III. This game was a critical and commercial success and features numerous mechanics that mix up the traditional Assassin’s Creed formula. Furthermore, Assassin’s Creed III has DLC (not included in the Games with Gold) that tells an intriguing “what if” story of a George Washington who seized power and became America’s king. SpeedRunners will be available until June 30th, but Assassin’s Creed III will only be free until June 15th. Furthermore, Xbox One owners can also download Assassin’s Creed III for free thanks to backwards compatibility.

The second set of free Games with Gold games will be available on June 16th. Xbox One owners will receive a different open-world Ubisoft game, Watch Dogs (or Watch_Dogs, depending on how you read the title). The game was ambitious and is essentially a cross between Assassin’s Creed and Grand Theft Auto. However, Watch Dogs didn’t live up to expectations and was met with mediocre reviews and sales. Xbox 360 owners — and Xbox One owners who take advantage of backwards compatibility — can instead download the critically acclaimed RPG Dragon Age: Origins. Honestly, Dragon Age: Origins is the best game available in June’s Games with Gold lineup, and it will be available until June 30th, while Watch Dogs can be downloaded until July 15th.

Normally, I would end the article here, but Microsoft is giving away one more Games with Gold freebie. To celebrate the re-release of the classic Xbox game Phantom Dust, players can download a multiplayer DLC pack that includes various useful skills and abilities. This DLC pack will be available for the entire month of June but can only be used by Xbox One owners.

Anyone who has a Xbox Live Gold subscription can take advantage of Games with Gold, but the list changes every month, so if any of the games listed interest you, you’d better act fast if you want them for free.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
