Batman: The Telltale Series was yet another example of Telltale biting off more than it could chew. The first episode launched with a bunch of technical glitches that didn’t get solved until later episodes, and once they did they provided the player with a merely average Batman story. Still, if you’re a fan of the Caped Crusader, you can’t argue with the $0 price tag.
We’ll start with Newfound Courage, the heartwarming narrative adventure that puts you in the role of Alex. This pixelated adventure includes slightly magical townfolks, a mysterious “vault” that may or may not cause the apocalypse, and a love story between Alex and Jake that I wish I’d been able to play growing up.
Lost in Harmony combines rhythm and running elements with world-class music in a soothing casual game about a boy and a girl on a skateboard running from pretty much everything. Featured artists include Wyclef Jean, Roc Chen, Mark Griskey, Borislav Slavov Onoken, Godspeed Vivix, Tadayoshi Makino, Fumitake Igarashi, Tsukasa Tawada, and Xilix.
BFF or Die is the co-op party puzzler where you and up to three additional players go back in time to Earth to save abducted aliens. Find the Orbees, avoid whatever mess they’ve gotten themselves into, and then high-five to make it to the next level.
Our second LGBTQ+ game, Spitkiss, is a 2D platformer where the objective is to spit in someone’s mouth. No, really–each level is a puzzle where the Spitkiss use their bodily fluids to help Ymer tackle his emotions. Originally a mobile game, Spitkiss has intuitive controls that make more sense once you get into it.
All six games are available starting June 1, while May’s free games leave on June 2.
