This Week in Gaming (Week 23)

Welcome to the month of June which we kick off with a remake of an ARPG from 2001 that appears to have been given a bit more than just a graphics overhaul. The rest of the week starts with running a shop selling arcane goods, some hack and slash and sorcery, being a police dog in 1930’s Chicago except it’s an alternate universe, working as a medic during the war in the Pacific and finally being a card playing witch. As always there are some additional releases this week as well.
