So I haven't bought a new game since Sekiro back in March. I do have Devil May Cry V on the way, but I'm also keeping an eye on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It's the first FE game since Radiant Dawn to receive a home console release and after the E3 Tree House presentation, I'm curious to see how the series handles town exploration. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the FE series has never had that type of gameplay before? Where you actually control a character and have them interact with other NPCs ala Shining Force. I hope it gives the game some meatier gameplay and it's more than micro-managing units.

SolSeraph is a game I'm optimistically cautious about. It's a spiritual successor to the classic SNES game Actraiser, but so little has been shown, it's hard to know whether they've improved on anything, or just made a rip-off. I'm hoping for the former because I like it when these ambitious games are brought back with modern conveniences.

Also, the release list reminded me that Stranger Things Season 3 is just about to drop. I was OK with Season 2, but hope it goes off in a new direction.

SolSeraph intrigues me as I liked Actraiser but besides that and maybe Marvel Alliance, this is a backlog month to the fullest. Well needed.

Whatcha working on Blindy?

I didn’t realise the VG industry was doing Dry July also.

Dragon Quest Builders 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
Raiden V: Directors Cut
Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Quite a few Switch Games this time around, though the one I’m looking forward to the most, is Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (loved the first game, not so much the second, so we’ll see how this goes). Having said that, both DQ Builders 2 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses should be interesting games as well.

Raiden V completely depends on if I can find a physical copy of the game or not.

Just Youngblood for me, though I'll definitely check Ultimate Alliance 3 whenever I get a switch.

Probably check Final Fantasy XIV and the additions someday, not high on my docket though. SolSeraph almost had me, then I saw the RTS sections, if Brutal Legend lost me, SolSeraph doesn't stand a chance.

Just finished Luigi's Mansion on 3DS. Lousy gameplay(At least on 3DS, I beat the game and I still don't think I got the vacuum gimmick, the final boss is terrible. I basically had to run into the spikeballs, take like 5 damage to get a chance to properly suck it up and try and win. I swear I was aiming the vaccum properly. The quirky story carried me to finish it but I seriously hope Dark Moon is much better in the gameplay department and if I player LM3, I expect it to be money. 

Started Borderlands 2 for the first time, I can already see how much of a time sink this game will end up becoming. Going to dedicate much of the month of July on it.

Yeah I didn't know about the RTS.....Bleh. That ruins it so much. If it was done maybe like in Gears 4 I could even stomach it but if it is like Brutal Legend, nah.
