5 Best Steam Games of August 2018
Shenmue I & II
With Shenmue III launching next year, what better way to brush up on the series than by playing the first two games? Shenmue I & II are finally on Steam, giving players the chance to start the trilogy before the third game rolls around. The Shenmue series is known for being one of the pioneers of open world gaming, mainly because of its expansive, fully-detailed map. Moreover, the game follows a structural time system with buses that follow certain timetables and shops that open and close.
Both games center around a martial arts pupil named Ryo Hazuki who sets off on his own personal journey to uncover the mysteries surrounding his father’s murder. Players will be traveling around Hong Kong, Yokosuka, and Guilin as they search for clues, scrutinize suspects, and fight enemies. Both games are part of one bundle on Steam, so it’s worth looking into if you’re waiting for the third game.
