June's Humble Choice lineup is officially live — and honestly I had to sit down for a minute after reading through this roundup from Hannah Hoolihan over on IGN because the game stack looks genuinely fantastic 🎮✨ We're looking at some real heavy hitters headlining this month: Octopath Traveler II leads with its gorgeous HD-2D visual style (developed by Acquire and published by Square Enix, releasing back in May 2019), but what really caught my eye is how they've balanced blockbuster draws like Life is Strange: Double Exposure from Deck Nine Games with some of the more quietly brilliant picks. Citizen Sleeper 2 — which just came out this past January on PC and current-gen consoles — joins the mix, EXOR Studios' RPG sequel proving that Humble Choice still has excellent taste in atmospheric narrative games. The other five round things off beautifully: I'm super excited about seeing construction enthusiasts treated to Construction Simulator from Astragon (originally released back in 2018) among this month's picks — it might seem like a random outlier compared to the big names, but that variety is exactly what makes Humble Choice so enjoyable for me personally. Meanwhile Posing Possums also publishes two of these titles across PC and Nintendo Switch platforms including the new Switch 2.
What really sells June though? The genre spread feels genuinely deliberate rather than just a grab-bag — we've got RPG (both Octopath Traveler II and Citizen Sleeper 2), adventure, strategy via Weltenbauer Software's Riftbreaker which released starting in September '18 through full multi-platform rollout last year across PS5/XSX|S/PC/Switch variants, roguelike/dungeon crawler elements scattered throughout including Rogue Snail contributions (though Six Days Under Mars keeps cycling between Mad Mushroom and Odd Meter as publisher depending on source), simulation with that surprisingly solid Construction Simulator pick, plus online co-op multiplayer where it counts. The platform support is also incredibly thorough: PlayStation 4 through PS5 covered comprehensively alongside Xbox One/XSX|S in addition to PC across all seven games (with Steam Deck Playable certification prominently included) and Nintendo Switch variants including the brand-new Switch 2 — meaning almost everyone reading this can grab at least one title they'll actually play. It always makes me smile when Humble Choice demonstrates a real curatorial eye instead of just throwing shovelware into the mix, especially since seeing these specific picks shows that effort clearly on display again here in June.
