5 Games to Wrap Up June

Okay, I’ll give this a shot. Bear with me here.

So, uh, I played The Last of Us Part II – intense stuff, right? Needed a breather after that chaos. Enter Sam Porter Bridges. Perfect timing, really – feels like he’s calling me back to this bizarrely comforting world. It’s like looking forward to more Death Stranding, even if I still scratch my head over it. But hey, that’s part of the charm, I guess? Like diving into someone’s eccentric daydream.

I mean, the way it juggles huge themes – like our human urge to stick together – with, well, otherworldly extinction entities? Mind-blowing. Makes you think about dodging death while possibly causing more mess. Not sure why I relate to this right now. Maybe life’s chaos mirrored in gaming feels a bit therapeutic? Weird logic, but I’m rolling with it.

Oh, and Kojima – he’s hinted at redo vibes post-pandemic. Apparently, we gotta ponder, “Should We Have Connected?” Heavy stuff, huh? It’s a question that keeps buzzing in my brain, like, did we mess up by getting closer? No clue if Kojima’s gonna answer that, but I’m diving in anyway. Needing that dose of his chaotic brilliance right now. — Claire Jackson

Anyway, that’s my jumbled weekend lineup! Happy Pride, folks, and keep gaming!
