Last week wasn’t the best week in terms of new game releases, but this week will make up for it with some pretty notable releases that you should definitely check out on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. June normally isn’t a hotbed for great games, but this week is definitely a full plate. Best yet, there’s some decent variety, meaning everyone should find at least one game appealing.
