Yakuza shouldn’t be as popular as it is today, when you compare it to the trends of the industry. It’s a series of games that requires you to spend more time watching its story unfold than actually steering it, it has little to zero DLC after each game ends and the core mechanics between the various sequels barely change, even when they’re given a fresh face-lift with the Kiwami upgrades. And yet, Yakuza does gangbusters in the West.

While Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII still has more to offer thanks to a more comprehensive Zombies mode and its multiplayer, it’s hard to justify grabbing the game just for the Blackout mode. Said mode will be up for testing in September however, with an open beta that kicks off on PlayStation 4 first after an August multiplayer beta. What does it look like? Something like this, in this blink and you’ll miss it trailer that hypes the incoming beta.

Scattered throughout Dead Cells are these mystical stones, ancient chunks of mystical stone that can unlock new areas and treasures for players. Where do you find them? Right here!

Here’s the full list of what to expect in August, from Dead Cells to Dead Cells. Also Dead Cells will be out on console. Have I mentioned yet how god Dead Cells is?

Some people reckon that Destiny 2’s Time To Kill factor is perhaps too generous, that it needs to be shortened and reduced drastically. Well congrats folks, because that’s happening and I’m sitting here with my arms crossed in a huff about this.

Politics may be alive and kicking in Cyberpunk 2077, but it's the brutal business interests of corporations that players will delve into in CD Projket Red's upcoming sandbox of augmentations and anarchy.

Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight to spend some of your legendary shards on new armour and weapons in Destiny 2. In that case: Where is Xur?

You start out with a pistol. You eventually graduate to a weapon that spits out bullets at a faster pace or a shotgun that feels like a gentle summer breeze caressing you if its buckshot lands from a distance that’s greater than 25cm. You’ve got your regular death-dealers, saving the more exotic weapons in your arsenal for tougher opponents as ammo ain’t exactly plentiful for these guns in particular. Then you get your hands on that weapon.
