June is upon us, and it comes with some great looking indie game releases. I’ve picked my top titles for the month, and I love the variety June has in store. Who would have thought we’d see guided meditation, the limbo of purgatory and the adventures of a farming sim all in one month?

My favourite combat free games of 2019
I love when a game’s story, graphics and soundtrack are so atmospheric and engaging that combat isn’t required to make it exciting.
