It's summertime! A time for barbeques, scenic drives along the coast, and baseball. And chances are that, at some point in the month, you'll want to play games, too. Yeah, it's gaming drought season, so there are no new major releases this month, but there's still some cool content coming out. Here are a bunch of PC games that look good that GOG won't get for one reason or another. Prove me wrong:

Furi: http://store.steampowered.com/app/423230/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_7
It's a boss-rush action game with a trippy art-style and Carpenter Brut music.

INSIDE: http://store.steampowered.com/app/304430/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_3
The new game from the developers of Limbo. It's been getting rave reviews.

Megadimension Neptunia VII: http://store.steampowered.com/app/460120/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_6
Yeah, okay, it's some weeb shit, but the series is better than it's anime-as-hell aesthetic would suggest.

TRIZEAL Remix: http://store.steampowered.com/app/465070/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_1
A re-release of a Dreamcast-era shmup. One of the better games in the genre, and great music.

Umineko When They Cry: http://store.steampowered.com/app/406550/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_1
A very highly-regarded visual novel, finally getting a release in the West.

Under Night In-Birth EXE: Late: http://store.steampowered.com/app/452510/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_3
The new fighting game from the developers of the excellent Melty Blood. Looks fantastic in motion.

Muv-Luv: http://store.steampowered.com/app/449830/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_4
Another visual novel, and also very highly regarded. This is the first part of a trilogy. The second game in the series is the highest-rated visual novel ever on vndb.

Assault Suit Leynos: http://gematsu.com/2016/04/assault-suit-leynos-coming-west-ps4-pc-summer
This reboot of the classic series is coming to PC on the 12th. Remember Cybernator? Well, this is that. Lots of robots blowing lots of stuff up.

I Am Setsuna: http://store.steampowered.com/app/441830/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_5
Square-Enix took a different approach, and let a newly-formed, small internal studio come up with an RPG designed to replicate the classics. Impressions of the JP release have been favorable, and it's coming to PC in the West this month.

Phantom Brave: http://store.steampowered.com/app/409870/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_6
Remember how Disgaea came out on PC a few months back? Well, this is another formerly PS2 strategy RPG from the same devs.

Trouble Witches Origin: http://store.steampowered.com/app/460630/?snr=1_7_7_comingsoon_150_7
It's a shmup, and a good one. Not the absolute best one, mind you, but still worth paying attention to for fans of the genre.

I'd be shocked if we got even one of these, especially the way things have been going lately. The point is, there's more than enough content to choose from, even in this relatively sparse month, so I have no idea why none of it shows up here.

Obviously, this thread is largely a prediction. But hey, I've been right with the first 4 on the list, already!
So, basically, a lot of ugly, anime-looking crap? Oh, no, woe are we.

That's redundant.

Sorry, no can do. NDAs and all that.

Yeah, this month's releases are pretty heavy on the anime aesthetic.

Beats some generic Eurojank, though, like whatever the hell it was we got yesterday.
animu or not none of this really appeals to me
Well, Assault Suit Leynos is published by Rising Star, so there is a chance for that. Maybe. For the other games in your list, nope, I'm not expecting them here soon, especially not day-1 (LOL at including a Square Enix JRPG :P).

True enough.
Hey, but while we miss all the anime stuff, the good news is that Starbound is coming out of early access on 22 July.
Furi and Inside look great. I woudn't count on Inside ever making it here though.
I'll very likely be buying Phantom Brave at some stage in the future, I love some Nippon Ichi and I haven't played this one

Will also be keeping an eye on Setsuna too, but no matter how good it is the current asking price of £30 is too rich for me

The rest doesn't appeal, shmups and VNs are not my bag

This one looks appealing to me but it's using Denuvo (according to Wikipedia).

If it's true, not likely they'd want to go DRM-Free.
