All of a sudden, it's the end of August, but the month keeps delivering when it comes to games. This coming week is admittedly a bit slower than the past few weeks and we get to make do with a AA title as far as headline games goes. That said, the rest of this week's releases involve seas of all kinds, crossfires, great houses, corporations and a reimagined game from back in the day.

X Dive online was a p2w crapola. If it goes "offline" that means it's basically just a grind?
Didn't know that and there was really nothing interesting being released on that day...

Trine looks pretty relaxing to play. Nothing that interesting beyond that.
Sea of Stars is highly anticipated. Will have to see how it turns out! Excited to try it tomorrow.
