July Monthly - Tem Tem, Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice, Yakuza 4, Roadwarden, Kraken Academy, Merchant of the Skies, Ozymandias and Shotgun King (9.99EUR)

Bought this bundle, as I've been tempted by both Outer World's and TemTem.

Fell in love with Shotgun King - a simple, yet thoughtful game design. This feels good to play, but I wish there were more buffs and debuffs to choose from.

A bit surprised that TemTem is an always-online game. Not that it is a bad thing, I just didn't do my research properly. But I would love to play this in short bursts on the Steam Deck, but online games (like this and Diablo 4) make this impossible to just pick up and play, as it often requires the game to restart in order to function. Again, not a fault of the game, just wanted to let others know.

I played 5 minutes of Merchant of the skies and quit the game. The premise sounded interesting, but I felt like it did nothing to introduce me to the world. It just jumped directly into what would me MMO-level fetch quests, with an economy system behind it.

I haven't played any of the Yakuza games, but I'll save 4 until I've played some of the others, like Zero or Kiwami
