Xbox Games With Gold for June 2020 includes Destroy All Humans! and more

On Tuesday, Microsoft announced the Games With Gold titles for June. There are four titles in all, equaling roughly $64 in value for Gold members. Top billing goes to the Xbox classic Destroy All Humans!, an action-adventure game first released in 2005. (A remake is also on the way this year.) Fans also get access to Sine Mora, an old-school shoot-’em-up that relies on a novel time-manipulation mechanic.

There’s also two more lesser-known titles. Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a lavishly animated game about a bellydancing genie teamed up with pirates. Coffee Talk, on the other hand, is a chilled out barista simulator. From our review:

Curiously, the storylines for customers are determined by what drinks you make them, not by your dialogue choices. One werewolf, for instance, comes in asking you to make him a ginger drink that will help manage monthly “furies” where he has to be restrained. I got that drink wrong, too, though the gracious werewolf said he’d be back to try it again later. I have a feeling that if I don’t get it right, it’s going to have huge ramifications for that character in the long run.

Perhaps it’s more accurate to say you play as a therapist, rather than a barista. Much of the game is spent listening to your patrons talk about their day-to-day problems, giving the whole thing a slice-of-life feel. But the character’s issues are not the ones you and I might face, because many of them aren’t human.

Gold members will have access to Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse from June 1-30 on Xbox One. Coffee Talk will be available from June 16-July 15 on Xbox One. Destroy All Humans! is free on Xbox One and Xbox 360 from June 1-15, and Sine Mora will be available from June 16-30.
