As for what new players can expect from the titles,Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknownis the latest iteration of the long-running combat flight simulator franchise, allowing players to take to the skies in a variety of different aircrafts. The game offers controls for both beginners and veteran flyers, throwing them into a fully-fledged story campaign or letting them battle it out in an array of action-packed multiplayer modes. It initially launched in early 2019, garnering positive reviews from critics.
Meanwhile, No Code’sObservationis a sci-fi adventure game entirely framed from the perspective of an AI on a space station. Following the mysterious loss of the ship’s crew, players have to investigate the craft’s cryptic secrets while also ensuring the safety of its only remaining astronaut, Emma Fisher. It was a critical success at launch, with reviews praising its plot and unique puzzles.
As forNight Call,it sees players take on the role of a taxi driver, navigating the streets of Paris as they talk to customers in an attempt to catch a serial killer.Wizard of Legend,on the other hand, is a fantasy roguelike that offers procedurally generated dungeons, spell-focused combat, towering bosses, and a striking pixel-art style. Finally,West of Deadis a twin-stick cover shooter set in purgatory, with the player having to take on witches, demons, wendigos, and more. All five games offer very different experiences and are definitely worth a play prior to their departure on June 15.
