This isn’t a must-buy list. This is our recommendations about really good games which might be suitable for your genre preferences. The same is true for DMarket’s list of the best games of August 2018.

Dragon Quest XI (September 4)

Once upon a time, the hero of this game discovered his life mission – he should save the world from evil powers. His journey begins, and it won’t be easy. Lots of explorations and battles are waiting for him on the way.

The game Dragon Quest XI is gorgeous, and its world is gigantic. Players will visit many cities, which differ from one another immensely. Dangerous and sometimes charismatic monsters should be defeated in turn-based battles. This game is also one of the most expected PC RPGs of 2018.

The Japanese version of Dragon Quest XI was released in 2017. The English one is planned for September 4, for PS4 and PC. Here is the official site for purchasing.

Marvel’s Spider-Man (September 7)

He is one of the most famous superheroes, so a game with Spidey can’t pass without decent attention from the community. Especially if the publisher, Sony Interactive Entertainment itself, put so much effort into promotion: we saw red PlayStation 4 consoles of Spider-Man Limited Edition and even red subway trains in New York in the style of the upcoming game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is an action-adventure in the open world (the same as upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2). Peter Parker in his heroic suit explores the streets of virtual New York and fights various criminals. Peaceful citizens may sleep calmly with Spidey on guard.

The hero is able to use webs from his hands and"fly" between buildings (as Spidey usually does). His fighting abilities are quite impressive! Players will have quite a lot of freedom in actions, but still, there will be a plot and story missions, prepared by the game’s authors.

The game Marvel’s Spider-Man is exclusive for PlayStation 4. Its release is planned for September 7. Buy it through the official site here.

NASCAR Heat 3 (September 7)

The NASCAR series is highly competitive and super popular in the USA – and here is quite a realistic simulator. Players will be able to build their virtual career or enjoy quick races, to play for fun or participate in Esports competitions.

NASCAR Heat 3 differs from such racing titles as The Crew 2 significantly. It’s much more dedicated to sports, it demands lots of work to improve every single aspect of your driving – almost like in the Formula 1 games.

The game NASCAR Heat 3 is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Here is the official site for purchasing.

NBA 2K19 (September 11)

This is the new, 20th installment of the biggest basketball game series. Everything here is based on reality, with the same famous players, with the same physics and rules.

At first sight, this game looks a bit “too indie” and “too retro”, but there’s lots of unexpected excitement behind this. The gameplay, storytelling, and in fact every little detail here is perfect. It’s better to play Undertale than to read about it. Here we have a real gaming masterpiece!

The first release of Undertale happened in September 2015. The version for Nintendo Switch is upon us after three years. You don’t have to wait for it if you have PS4 or PC. Choose your Undertale and buy it through the official site.

Players may find their own destiny in the fantasy world of this game. Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a classic RPG, where you can choose a hero and delve into amazing adventures. Lots of classes and freedom of actions open many possibilities, but only you decide which pass to take.

The game allows to become a ruler of virtual lands, developing your kingdom. Of course, it is full of battles, where you can act as a team of friends (almost like in Dota 2).

Money for developing Pathfinder: Kingmaker was collected through Kickstarter. Let’s wait and see how successful this ambitious project will become.
