Official description:

Notable for kicking off the roguelike genre in Japan, Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko's Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- is an endlessly replayable adventure as players dive into dangerous, constantly changing dungeons to find and escape with treasure to help grow Torneko’s shop. While in the dungeons, every action Torneko takes – whether moving, attacking or using an item – gives the monsters a chance to attack as well. By defeating monsters, players earn experience points to level up Torneko and grow stronger.

Official description:

[MD Engine] borrows a page from GB Studio's playbook, the tool that opened up Game Boy development to a wave of hobbyists, but points it at the 16-bit era instead. Drag, drop, and build platformers, shoot-'em-ups, action RPGs, or puzzle games, then turn the result into a ROM that runs on original hardware, flash carts, and devices like the MegaSG or Retron3 HD. Creators who'd rather stay on modern platforms can target Web, Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS instead — Steam achievements included.

Of course, that implies that we are actually waiting for something to play. Looking at our release calendar, that's definitely not the case. August was not a slow month by any means. We can't even begin to name all the noteworthy titles that hit store shelves or left Steam Early Access, so we won't even try. Instead, as always, just take a look below and see for yourself what you might've missed.

On that note, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II also received PlayStation re-releases this month, complete with their multiplayer modes intact. And with Halo: Campaign Evolved, the series finally made its debut on Sony's console this month.

No, you don't need to be impressed or appreciative. It's his job, after all. We gave him a pat on the back and sent him back into the Database Mines; that's more than enough encouragement for him. You, on the other hand, should take a look below at what you might've missed - not just in terms of announcements, but also the games released in June. Yes, new releases didn't stop just because Geoff Keighley took the stage. So get playin'!

But what to do until Geoff Keighley graces us with his divine presence again? Well, play all those games released in May, of course. How about a round of Blood: Refreshed Supply with five friends (!) in local co-op on the Nintendo Switch 2? Or going under the sea together in Subnautica 2? And if that's not your thing, there's also Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core for a bit of underground planet mining. If however stealing from the nobles is more your style in these trying times, then Thick As Thieves may be up your alley.

Looking at these numbers, we don't think we need to say anything more about April. The month literally speaks for itself - at least as long as you take a look below and check what you might've missed. If you don't... Well, we're not your mom. Do as you please, as long as it involves a ton of co-op games being played with your friends!

The scenario for Hades II is immediately intriguing. Time has passed since the first game, and disaster has befallen the underworld of Hades. Lord Hades, Queen Persephone, and their son Zagreus have been captured by the evil Titan, Cronos. Thankfully, Hecate the witch managed to spirit away Lord Hades' daughter, Melinoe, and raised her to be a warrior witch. Along with the help of new friends like Odysseus and Hestia, as well as numerous returning gods and allies, Melinoe must rescue or avenge her family and restore order to the underworld.

Ghost of Yotei and Teardown received their long-awaited multiplayer update. Scott Pilgrim EX and John Carpenter's Toxic Commando are surprisingly good, and not just for games that are based on comic books. Slay the Spire II hit the internet by storm, even in its current Early Access state.  Stellarcraft, Desynced, and Overthrown left their preview state behind and were updated to version 1.0.

...and that's just the tip of the co-op iceberg.

Yes, there may be great games in there, but let's be honest: most companies just noticed that they can pump out compilations and/or remasters and still get our money. Not everyone wants to install an emulator or a mod...
