If you are looking for an action-adventure game to add to your collection, you might want to look into Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients. I just saw the trailer, and it looks like a fun and whimsical adventure I’d love to go on.
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients is a third-person action-adventure game coming to PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox in early 2024. The world of Gliese is threatened by an ancient evil, and it is up to Astor to save it. Play as the young warrior as he explores a mystical world, solves puzzles, fights monsters, and uncovers the secrets that will save his planet.
I love the cartoonish and colorful aesthetic of this game. I find the art style cute, and the world looks like something I’d love to explore. Aesthetics aside, the combat is what draws me the most about this game. Monolith promises an engaging combo-based combat system, and based on the trailer, it looks well done. I am very curious to see how magic works in this game because the few moments where Astor uses magic left me hyped for the title. I would need to see more before making an informed decision, but what I’ve seen so far has convinced me enough to add it to my wishlist.
Monolith: Requiem of the Ancients has an interesting vibe that I am very much about. I will be following the game closely, but I recommend you add it to your wishlist to stay up to date.

The Bridge Curse: Road to Salvation is a horror game coming to PS5, Xbox, and Switch. No release date has been announced yet, but preorders for the physical copies of this game go on sale on the 15th for PS5 and Switch only. There are also collector editions of the game for those interested in the swag.
Six university friends investigate a well-known urban legend, but what they find is a lot more than they bargained for. The group has awoken an ancient curse. Now they must survive the night as vengeful ghosts hunt for them. Do you have what it takes to solve the mystery and survive the night?
Play as one of the students and try to survive one of the longest nights as you stealthy explore a creepy and immersive setting, solve puzzles, and experience what looks to be a well-presented narrative. The art and graphics look great, the setting looks scary, and the voice acting is fantastic. Of course, this opinion is based on the trailer, but the trailer did enough to creep me out.
I don’t really play horror or stealth games, but this is going on my watch list. Hopefully, I can muster enough courage to play through this game, even if it has to be with the lights on. If you don’t want to wait for the console release, you can pick it up on Steam for $19.99. It is currently on sale for $13.99 until the 13th. There is also a demo you can try if you need more convincing.
Folks looking for a physical copy of this game, you can preorder your copy for the PS5 and Switch on the 13th.
You can also get the collectors edition for the PS5 and the Switch if you are interested in the artbook and a few extra goodies:

This week we got a lot of reveals for the upcoming Versus Royal Knight set, and the cards look very cool. Versus Royal Knights is set to release July 21st, but it isn’t available for pre-orders yet. Until then, I guess we will have to settle for looking at the card art longingly until we can add them to the collection. If you have been enjoying these updates, don’t forget to subscribe and share this with your friends!
Versus Royal Knights Box Topper
I’ll start off with one of the set’s box toppers. Box toppers are unique promos you can get for buying a booster box of the set. While it isn’t guaranteed you’ll get a WarGreymon Ace, it is still very cool card to lo look at. I’ve never gotten lucky with the box toppers.
Versus Royal Knights Spoilers
In Store Tournament Promos (July – Nov)
The in-store promos are so cute! I wish I had enough time to make it to locals. I would love to start using my collection to play games, but there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. I just hope this game gets enough traction to get an online client so I can play it as much as I play Pokemon now.
That’s it for this week. This set is cool looking, but its not as cool as Alternative Being was. I am not sure I’m convinced enough to buy into this set, but there are some cards I am going to need to update some of the decks I have kicking around. The art is fine, but there hasn’t been a card that excites me like the previous sets have. Maybe they’ll win me over with the full arts? See you next week.
In preparation for the release of Obsidian Flames, I’ll be sharing the card list in sections by type. Today’s focus will be the water types. Make sure you check out the rest of the previews as well.

Paldea Evolved was an amazing set with beautiful and powerful cards. If you are a collector or trying to start your collection, Paldea Evolved is a great place to start. I can’t speak on the monetary value of the set, but the cards are so pretty. Paldea also brought a lot of fun decks to the standard worth trying out. I’m working towards a Noivern Deck because I pulled the Ultra Rare.
Look at how pretty it is!
But since it is the beginning of July, it is a good time to get ready for the upcoming set, Obsidian Flames. Obsidian Flames releases on August 11, so make sure you put in your preorders at your LGS or TGC Player if you don’t have one.
To prepare, I thought it is a cool idea to go through the set list, starting with the green cards and their translations. If this is something you’d like to continue seeing, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.
