May is shaping up to be an exciting month for gamers, with a mix of highly anticipated releases and hidden gems that shouldn’t be missed. While it may not have the blockbuster titles of previous months like Kingdom Come Deliverance II or Civilization VII, there are still plenty of games to look forward to.
One of the biggest releases this month is Doom: The Dark Ages, a game that bridges the gap between Doom 64 and Doom (2016). In this installment, the Slayer is taken back in time to an era before space-age weapons, but don’t worry, the arsenal is far from boring. With weapons like a throwable shield with spinning blades and a gun that crushes up demon skulls, players can expect plenty of demon-slaying action.
Another standout title this month is The Midnight Walk, an adventure game with stunning claymation-style visuals. The attention to detail in the environments and monsters is truly impressive, evoking the eerie charm of stop-motion classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas. The art alone makes this game worth checking out.
For fans of tactical games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown offers a fresh take on the beloved heroes in a half shell. Finally, players can experience the true power of Turtle teamwork as they battle enemies across 20 levels. And for those craving a nostalgic trip, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny offers a remastered version of the classic series that combines undead battles with Samurai sensibilities.
On the indie front, To a T from the creator of Katamari Damacy promises a unique narrative adventure about a teenager stuck in a T-pose. It’s quirky, it’s weird, and it’s exactly the kind of offbeat experience that fans have come to expect from Keita Takahashi.
Lastly, Elden Ring: Nightreign offers a cooperative roguelike experience for fans of FROM games. With a three-player co-op mode and a focus on hunting down bosses over three in-game days, it’s a fresh take on the formula that is sure to delight fans.
Overall, May has something for everyone, whether you’re into high-octane action, atmospheric adventures, or quirky indie experiences. So mark your calendars, gather your friends, and get ready for a month full of gaming delights.
