So while yes, August did start slow - there were still enough releases to keep us busy for the rest of the year. What?! Christmas Season is upon us and several dozen highly anticipated co-op games will hit store shelves in the upcoming months?! Well... maybe going outside is not that bad of an idea.

'Gori: Cuddly Carnage' Demo Meow Available on All Platforms - Beyond Co-op NewsPaul Acevedo

The Gori demo features the first level of the full game. It begins with a fully voiced cinematic depicting a disaster on Gori the cat's spaceship. It's the far future, and no humans are left to repair the ship. Thus, Gori is forced to land on the ruined Earth. There, he soon runs afoul of an army of zombie unicorns, a kaiju-sized bird, a scary box crab, and much more.

Speaking of games taking their time: 1991 Platformer Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III from Taito is now available for modern consoles. And with the release Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero, the whole Shockman franchise is now not only ready to be enjoyed by a whole new generation of gamers - it's also the first time all of those titles are officially translated to English. The same goes for Earth Defense Force 6 which hit western store shelves in July.

On top of that, you had the usual slew of releases hitting store shelves or leaving Steam Early Access behind them. With June behind us, it's time to take a look below at all the stuff you might've missed and hit up your friends for a nice long co-op session!

Four years after its debut, Ghost of Tsushima released on PC, finally expanding the audience for this exquisite action-adventure game. A couple of days before but seven years after the stretch goal was met during the Kickstarter-campaign, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night got its co-op mode. While you can't play through the whole game together, it's still a welcome addition. Another title fans had been waiting a long time for (16 years!) was Endless Ocean Luminous. Finally, Switch owners can go back under sea and enjoy the view with up to 29 friends and/or strangers at their side. And to round out this month's trend, Homeworld 3 hit store shelves - 21 years after the second game. Thankfully, it has a co-op mode for up to three players. So in the end, the long wait was worth it :). Although... judging by what our dear Leader Nick is posting on our Discord server, he's enjoying the gorgeous graphics and the photo mode way more than the actual gameplay.

It is, however, easy to only see the negatives. So, let's not dwell on them, and instead shine a light on a few beacons of hope this month:

Hundred Heroes is the product of a successful Kickstarter campaign. While this larger-scale game was in development, a prequel called Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was released. That one was a 2.5D action RPG, but Hundred Heroes is a fully-fledged traditional JRPG with 3D environments and 2D sprites. The preview build we played is truly gorgeous, reminiscent of Square Enix's Octopath Traveler but with more detailed environments and larger sprites. The style should appeal to fans of classic role-playing games and modern RPG enthusiasts alike.

Our database meanwhile saw an increase of another 161 entries - in part thanks to all the interesting stuff we were able to check out during Steam Next Fest. Now we just hope that it won't take too long for those games to be actually released.

I guess we'll never know the real reason. The low amount of new releases did however give us as bit of breathing room to play a couple of older titles with our friends. And our Database Master(tm) also "only" added 56 new entries to the database. So as always there's a silver lining :) .
