Our Favourite Games From July

Our Favourite Games From July

July was a whirlwind for new games. From a mobile phenomenon to indie releases, here are our favourite games from July.


Pokemon GO

The world lost its collective cool over Pokemon GO this month. Our first moments with the game taught us new things about the world around us, when we found pocket monsters in new and unexpected places.

It helped us get out more (even when we couldn’t hatch eggs), as well as think about the game’s implications for people who move through the world differently. Players waged war over the White House, found dead bodies, trolled each other and institutions and even sent nudes. We loved its team leaders, too. Check out our tips if you’re still looking to be the very best, like no one ever was.

You can get the game for iOS and Android phones.


I Am Setsuna

Despite the fact that this RPG lets you not name your character Setsuna, we loved this beautiful, well-paced game.

You can get the game for PC and PS4.


Arma 3 Apex

Apex, the new expansion for Arma 3, gave players a fancy new set of toys to play with, as well as a new co-op campaign.

You can get the game for PC.

A new sports game by former Kotaku contributor Tim Rogers, we had a great time with this mash-up of Asteroids and Pong.

This charming, Metroid-influenced underwater adventure game by Insomniac is perfect for staying inside.

The long-awaited new instalment of this episodic point and click adventure game returns to the roots of what’s made this surreal series great.

We had a ton of fun with Double Fine’s retro sci-fi Metroidvania about swapping heads to get through doors.
