Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to keep an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might otherwise overlook.
After a slightly slow April, things pick up in a big way in May, with a wide range games for different tastes. Of course, the headliner is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but players can also look forward to Lego 2K Drive, Age of Wonders 4, the System Shock remake, and more. Things are strong on the indie front as well, with games like Humanity, Darkest Dungeon II, and Firmament looking nearly as enticing as the bigger name games.
Note: While I may have played demos or got early access to some of the games recommended in this article, in most cases I’m simply choosing games that look promising, and can’t vouch for the end product. Do wait for reviews before buying!
That said, here are the games you should be looking out for in May…
Age of Wonders 4 (PC, Xbox Series X/S & PS5, May 2)
Get ready for a fresh dose of 4X fun when Age of Wonders 4 launches early this month. For those unfamiliar with the Age of Wonders series, the games offer a unique combination of 4X empire building with XCOM-style tactical battles. Age of Wonders 4 promises to further mix things up by allowing players to create their own unique fantasy race. Paradox hasn’t missed the mark with any of their recent major strategy game launches, and I don’t think they’re going to break their hot streak with this one. You can pre-order Age of Wonders 4 here.
