๐Ÿ“ฐ What We're Playing ยท Monthly Roundup

What We're Playing โ€” June 2026

Published June 2026 ยท Updated October 2026 ยท By Team Sinigang

Every month we write up what's actually been in the controller. Not what we're supposed to be playing, just what we keep coming back to after work, school, and bedtime. Team Sinigang is a family household, and June's rotation was a mix of one game that took over and a few we gave an honest shot.

๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ The Big One: Crimson Desert

Pearl Abyss's open-world RPG is massive, and it's genuinely great. If you've spent years in Skyrim, expect to unlearn a few instincts. That's exactly what our guide is written for.

๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Crimson Desert
Our take

Great game. The only thing that pulled us away was Diablo, which kept calling. Our full guide is here.

๐ŸŒ™ Nightreign, When There's Time

Elden Ring: Nightreign is very good, and it's built for shorter sessions. The honest truth is that we never seem to have the time for full campaigns between work, school, and bedtime.

๐ŸŒ™ Elden Ring: Nightreign
Our take

Very good, if you can carve out the time. Our guide covers the Nightfarers and how expeditions work.

๐ŸŒพ Stardew Valley Got a Real Shot

We gave Stardew Valley real time this month. It's a cute game, and it's easy to see why people love it.

๐ŸŒพ Stardew Valley
Our take

The day-to-day struggle started to feel like work... and life. Too much, haha. Still, if farming life is your thing, our Year 1 guide will help you get started.

โšฑ๏ธ The Eternal Background Game: Elden Ring

Elden Ring is the one game that never really leaves. We've finished it 100%, we're up to NG+5, and we've completed Shadow of the Erdtree. At this point there's honestly nothing left to do, and it's still a perfect 10 for us. Our complete guide covers everything if you're new or coming back.

The pot keeps simmering. ๐Ÿฒ
