As the forward scout for a wandering Caravan, it’s your job to use your vehicle and grapple to make your way through the unknown to chart a safe path for those who follow. You’ll explore incredible places, solve puzzles to open new paths, and meet interesting characters as you make your way through this “cozy” adventure game.

The dino-hatching, raising, and riding sandbox game UG keeps finding new ways to evolve its world and gameplay, and its latest update might be the biggest one yet this year. The UG: Swim and UG: Splash updates that hit the game this month introduced new opportunities for aquatic adventures, with new underwater environments, full swimming mechanics, and the game’s first swimming dino, the Spinosugus. The update also added a new underwater encounter and marked the return of the flying map and Flaptor boss fight. There’s even more in the two updates to discover.
The social sandbox free-to-play phenomenon that is Gorilla Tag continues to add new content at a regular clip. The last year has seen the addition of modes such as Super Infection, and new elements like quests, and May saw new updates that continue to expand the game with content and cosmetics. And there’s more on the horizon, with Gorilla Corp accepting sign-ups from Monke willing to donate their time (and possibly more) as lab volunteers to help save Gorilla World. There’s always something new to see and do in Gorilla Tag, so jump back in and become Monke today.
Yeeps is a multiplayer title where you can compete, cooperate, and create, and it’s back with the second half of its hero-and-villain content arc. Following April's Superhero Update, the Supervillain Update flips the script — adding villain-inspired cosmetics, gadgets, and new party game modes to the massive free-to-play sandbox. If you powered yourself up with lightning and lasers last month, now you can embrace the dark side with a fresh set of tools designed for causing mischief across Yeeps' eight game modes.
