August
2017 Games to Look Forward To
August has quite a bit more to offer, this time letting the PS4, Xbox One, and PC join in on the fun, though Nintendo once again has a potential hit for fans. The Xbox One gets a new exclusive from Fullbright (the folks that brought us Gone Home) called Tacoma that sees players explore a mysterious space station. The PS4 also gets a few exclusives in August such as Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Yakuza Kiwami (a remake of the first game in the series), and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. But of course , Nintendo is aiming to steal the spotlight once more. While it looked weird when it was first leaked prior to E3 2017, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle looks like the perfect crossover between the world of Super Mario, the insanity of Ubisoft’s Rabbids, and games in the vein of XCOM. It’s surprisingly challenging, and the humor definitely keeps you locked in.
There are some big multiplatform titles out this month as well, such as Sonic Mania, Madden NFL 18, and Life is Strange: Before the Storm. August is offering up a little something for everyone, making the hot summer month a perfect time to stay in your AC blasted house while enjoying some video games.
