N / A? Have you been able to use the lockdown to finally remove your game stack? Not yet? Then be happy, because this month almost only scratching comes on the market. Well … luckily it's not that bad, but May is particularly impressive with lots of porting, switch reissues and "insider tips" from Japan, which you will probably hear about for the first time in your life. But hey! We have a voracious shark, Keanu Reeves and a giant dildo for you this month! Curtain up!
1st of May
Arcade Spirits (PS4, Xbox One, Switch)
Imagine the video game crash of the 80s never happened and the arcade halls were still the social center for lovers of video games. This is exactly the scenario that Arcade Spirits depicts, in which you run your own arcade. There you meet new people and influence the story with your decisions. Arcade Spirits is already available for PC and will be released on May 1st for PS4, Xbox One and Switch.
5th of May
Someday You’ll Return (PC)
Someday You’ll Return doesn’t want to scare its players with cheap jumpscares, but to grab them on a psychological level. You will have to find your missing daughter in the role of Daniel. From a first-person perspective, you explore a forest that hides a lot of mysterious places and secrets. Someday You’ll Return draws inspiration from titles like Silent Hill, Outlast and Resident Evil 7.
John Wick Hex (PS4)
Given the film template, one could expect a briskly staged shooter at the name “John Wick”. But far from it. John Wick Hex is a tactical game in which you have to plan your actions in combat on a timeline. The title is already available for the PC and is now also available for PS4.
John Wick Hex will also be released for the PS4 on May 5, 2020, here is the trailer for the announcement.
May 7th
Void Bastards (PS4, Switch)
The first-person shooter Void Bastards immediately catches the eye with its exceptional visual style. The goal of rogue-like is to find materials in randomly generated spaceships to repair your own ship. What the game lacks in story makes up for it with its black humor.
Lonely Mountains: Downhill (Switch)
In Lonely Mountains: Downhill you get on your bike, ride down a mountain and try not to fall down. That’s it on the whole. As simple as the game concept sounds, in practice it is incomparably fun. The indie title from Berlin developer Megagon is already cult on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Now he's coming to Switch too. We wish: Neck and leg break!
With Lonely Mountains: Downhill it goes downhill. If not always on the given paths. Felix tells you why he fell in love with this game.
8th of May
SuperMash (PS4, Xbox One, Switch)
Dreams led the way and SuperMash continues. But instead of creating completely your own games, you mix two genres with each other in SuperMash and thereby create something completely new. This is how combinations like a stealth jump-n-run or a shoot-em-up JRPG are created. Playing cards can be used to determine conditions such as opponents, world or effects. SuperMash is already available for the PC via the Epic Game Store and is now also available for all current consoles.
In SuperMash you can mix different game genres and create new games. Felix and Dennis are testing exactly that.
