Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of July 2017

I can't say any of these games would be on my wanted list. I could have played Superhot months ago on Xbox if I wanted but it just doesn't appeal and also wouldn't be in my top games for this month as I would have played it months ago.

For me, July has been a very quiet month but should start picking up in August with Uncharted the Lost Legacy before Septembers Destiny 2 (both pre-ordered). Then Octobers glut - Assassins Creed, Wolfenstein 2, Evil Within 2 and maybe even Forza 7 so I am quite glad the last few months have been underwhelming and quiet - at least from my perspective anyway...

100% in agreement. IT'S THE MOST INNOVATIVE SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS.

Even though I still haven't got it because I'm a tramp, I voted for FFXII. I've played it a few times before so I know it's boss.

Played Super Hot a bit on PC. The concept is interesting, but it never really goes further than that for me (at least, in the time I played). Also, whoever decided it was a good idea for a gruff voice to repeat the title over and over between levels should be let go. One of the most annoying things I've ever seen in a game.

I'm really enjoying Pyre, which isn't a surprise considering Supergiants previous 2 successes, but Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun has come right out of nowhere and snatched my attention. It was released on the very last day of the month as well. However, seeing as I've played more of Pyre and love the devs I decided to give that my vote.

I bought FF12 having never finished it back on PS2 and although I've tried and tried, I simply cannot enjoy it. I've finished the Giru-thingy place and given up. I just find the whole game boring, especially the dull as hell story.

@get2sammyb To be honest, the concept is interesting and the art-style is too but its not something I would buy - even if its just a £1 or 2.

The test for me always comes down to would I rather play the numerous games I have not finished or spend some money on a game I know I probably won't play for more than an hour at most. As much as I enjoyed games like the Trials games, I only ever end up playing them for a few hours until the novelty of what they offer gets boring, combine with the increase in difficulty knowing that even if you do persevere with that 'same' mechanic to get past that level, the next is literally just more of the same - its just space invaders, asteroids, pac-man - I know its different mechanically but the principal is the same - get passed the level to do virtually the same again with a difficulty increase.

I know you could say that games like Uncharted, CoD etc don't really change with each new mission, don't always get more difficult either but they have story and context with characters that I want to see what happens next. Not games that you can virtually predict the entire game. Once you've played the first few missions, you know pretty much what he last few missions will offer - maybe not 'exactly' but principally you can - just like level 50 in Pac-Man, Asteroids or Space Invaders...

Don't get me wrong, I grew up loving games like those. However , at the time, that was the way all games were - unless you count the pure text based games but that's not really what I look for in games today. I probably would add it to my download list if GwG or IGC offer it but considering the number of games I have that I want to play, as well as the busy months ahead of new games I am hoping to add to my collection, I can't see this competing for my time.

@Gatatog Shadow Tactics will be in August's Game of the Month vote. Should give the team time to play through it, too.

Pyre is my game of the month, supergiant games never disappoints

@get2sammyb @BAMozzy I would add that as a fan of shooters and story in games, Super Hot delivers big time. I thought is was overpriced at 20 quid, but I've found myself playing it daily, and- while it's short- the campaign is VERY well done with a story that will definitely resonate.
I paid about 20 quid to see rogue one on release, and that was about 2 hours or so. Haven't watched it since, but I don't feel cheated by it.
Up to you in the end like, but as a recommendation I'd say it's a steal if it gets reduced to say, a tenner.

I'm only interested in Super Hot VR but I hear the VR version is a little thin. Zodiac FF does intrigue me and I'm hearing things about Pyre too and I'm surprised and delighted by the premise, I'll need to watch some Pyre gameplay soon.

Infinite mini golf game of the month

Didnt touch a single one of these, Splatoon 2 is all I need. Would get Pyre and particularly Superhot during a sale.
