I’m Kinglink and it’s time for the Humble Choice June 2022 Review.
I’m quite excited about this month, I have previously played three of these games and am really looking forward to talking about them.
As always I play each game for an hour on twitch, and will now tell you what I think of the game, who will enjoy them, or who should check them out.

The game takes place only five years after the end of the prequels and the infamous Order 66 which called for a purge of all the Jedis.
