We’re a little late this month, sorry! Between the American July 4th holiday and my own personal vacation, I’m a little behind schedule. Though to be honest, it’s July so it’s the perfect time for that to happen, I guess.

As I just alluded to, we’re in the middle of the annual summer dry spell. July is typically a barren month, devoid of major AAA releases, which also means it’s the perfect month to catch up on games you may have missed or, you know, go do something outside for a while. *shudder*

July 2018 is a little more interesting because while we’re still missing major releases, there are actually some quality games releasing this month that I’d say are worth your time. Sonic Mania Plus leads the list, adding even more content to an already quality game that released last year.

As a longtime Mega Man fan, I’m particularly interested in the Mega Man X Legacy Collection coming later this month. Switch owners also have a pair of interesting releases including a newly updated version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker as well as Octopath Traveler, a traditional RPG with fantastic visuals.

As always, you can find the complete list of July video game releases below. With things get back to normal next month? Make sure to come back and find out! Enjoy the sunny days of July, everyone!
