It's that time again, dear readers: the time of week where we take a deep dive into a slate of upcoming releases. This week is a doozy: not only is Monster Hunter: World finally making its way to PC, there are a couple other exciting releases as well, including a well-regarded cult classic. So, in the immortal words of Phillip DeFranco, let's just jump into it!

Dead Cells - PS4, XB1, Switch, PC (August 7th)

After a long period in Early Access, the roguelike Metroidvania title Dead Cells is finally getting a full release on PC and console. This game has been incredibly well-received even in its unfinished state, and with the full release imminent, even more people can experience this procedurally generated adventure. Even in a crowded market for these kinds of Metroidvania games, Dead Cells is one you shouldn't miss.

Okami HD - Switch (August 9th)

Beloved by many, Okami was one of the last titles to come out of the now-defunct Clover Studios. This epic Zelda-like adventure through a painterly representation of ancient Japan has already seen re-releases for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and current-gen consoles, but the Nintendo Switch is finally getting in on the action. In a few days, you'll be able to take Amaterasu's stunning journey with you wherever you go.
