Forager - PC and Xbox One, 16 July
Opens the large group of indie games planned for this second delivery end of July, the particular Forager , described as a game open world in 2D based on exploration, gathering resources, crafting and farming, inspired by the various titles known as Stardew Valley, Terraria and Zelda, the characteristics of which are a bit melted together in this strange title. In fact, it is explore, collect and manage resources, build objects and structures, expand the base, capture new territories and explore. Also there you will find also level up, learn new skills and to continually grow the character and his skills, as well as solve puzzles and of course, fight and complete the dungeon. In short, there is really a little bit of everything, represented with a very simple graphics and clean that attracts attention, an experiment to try.
Mount & Blade: Warband - Xbox One, 16 July
Strategic simulations or medieval can seem to be types of tedious, but Mount & Blade completely revolutionizes this concept by proposing, simply, the battle of time in the saddle of a horse. From this particular perspective, the clashes of medieval take on a different appearance, while still presenting complex elements and deep depending on the different situations. There is to carry on sieges, adopting various tactics of battle drawn directly from historical reconstructions or simply bring shots to the left and right in the middle of the scrum, especially in the multiplayer for 64 players. Warband , in particular, is a maxi-expansion is a standalone that introduces several innovations on the basic structure, with the opportunity to take part in a large military campaign with the progression of the protagonist.
Carrion - the PC and Xbox One, July 23
Debuted directly on the Xbox Game Pass the interesting Carrion , one of the greatest novelties of this delivery, despite the size of the indies and the fact that he had remained quite outside of the radar during its period of development. The game was shown in the form of virtually definitive in the course of the event Devolver Direct and seems to be a title truly very special: it is a sort of metroidvania by the setting quite horror, but characterized by a reversal of perspective that substantially changes its structure: the protagonist is, in fact, the horrid and the amorphous creature's tentacles moving in the darkness, intent on devouring human beings, instead try to delete it with weapons and various techniques of attack and defense. The idea is really very interesting, and the launch directly on the Xbox Game Pass is great news.
Golf With Your Friends - PC, 23 July
Already, released a few months ago on the console section, Golf With Your Friends arrives this month in the Game Pass for PC. It is, in fact, a game of golf, but interpreted in a manner quite far from the sport itself. Recovering the spirit of the mini-golf and classic video game inspired by this concept as the old Zany Golf, Golf With Your Friends offers a series of tracks ranging from tracks more or less normal situations completely crazy, to be addressed alone or in multiplayer. The controls are the typical ones of the genre, with the possibility of establishing the power of the shot, direction and effects, but the changes are applied from the elements of the scenario structures are more or less complex, jumps, obstacles and oddities, assorted, in addition to the fact that the multiplayer takes place simultaneously and not in turns make the experience very strange and funny.

Welcomed initially with several reserves, Grounded, has begun to convince a large number of people in the best way possible: by becoming simply try out through the first demo to be published in June, proving to be a survival from the characteristics of traditional basic but well-constructed and enriched by a setting really charismatic, which invokes the sense of adventure and light-heartedness typical of some productions, including
video games and the cinema of the 80's and 90's. We will then have a way to see how the team is famous for its RPG-of-large caliber can
be able to roam between the concept and types of different game, with a approach in this case is really unexpected, but very intriguing.
Nowhere Prophet - PC and Xbox One, 30 July
A vision of the post-apocalyptic future of the original is not something common in the world of video games, so a game like Nowhere Prophet stands out in a particular manner, while his to be a title definitely niche and underground.

In the course of the journey we are to find new cards to expand the deck, and discover new aspects of the surrounding world, while the worship of the prophet spread among the lands desperately seeking a hope for the future.
