Among video game releases for the week of May 31, "One Piece: Burning Blood" proves a worthy animé tie-in, the latest "Hitman" expansion takes us to Marrakesh, the very well reviewed "Steamworld Heist" arrives on PlayStation platforms from 3DS, "Daydreamer" tries its luck on console after a good start on PC, "Dead Island" and its sequel crash down on PS4 and XBO, and "Dangerous Golf" causes a ruckus in delicate situations.
