New Games for the month

Games for the Month of May

Here are the list of games for all consoles for the month of May

Legend of Heroes: Trails of Steel II Relentless Edition

Release date – May 7

Platform: PS4

cover may vary

A port from the PS Vita game. It will possibly have more contents and a much better graphics. Possible PS4 Pro enhancement but it ran good in a Vita. A PS Vita review will be posted soon and will try to get a PS4 port as well.

A Plague Tale: Innocence

Release date: May 14

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC

PS4 Variant

An action adventure game. When I checked out the gameplay trailer, it has a feel of Ico with a pinch of The Evil Within. Hopefully an Xbox physical copy will be released here in the Philippines.

Rage 2

Release date: May 14

Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC

Back in E3 2018, I was excited for this game since 2K games never announced a new Borderlands game. From the gameplay trailer, it does feel like Borderlands. I was skeptic since it is Bethesda Studios at the helm and feared that their 2 decade old graphics engine will be used. Luckily it is being developed by id Software and will be using the same graphics engine for Doom 2016. I’ll have a review ready once it is released.

E3 trailer release

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered 

Release date: May 15

Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch

Ps4 cover

Ever since the movie Behind Enemy Lines, every one likes to experience how to be a sniper. Never played the original game but will be getting one for the Xbox One. More on that on why I prefer the Xbox One for FPS.

I have played 1 Atelier game, which I will review soon. Not a big fan of the series. The artwork and soundtrack is excellent though. I will be getting a Switch copy and post a review soon.

Team Sonic Racing

Release date – May 21

Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch

I have the 2nd Sonic Kart game for the Vita. I am not expecting much from Sonic ever since the embarrassment of a game called Sonic ’06. Will be reviewing the PS4 version once released. A head to head comparison of the Mario Kart franchise and Sonic Kart franchise will be posted as soon as I can get a copy of the 1st Sonic Kart game. (an Xbox 360 back compatibility, maybe.)

Lapis x Labyrinth

Release date: May 28

Platform: Ps4 and Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch version

I trust NIS America so much that even though I don’t have an idea what this game is, I will certainly get one. I am a sucker for dungeon crawling RPG so this may be something I’ll play longer. Will be getting the Nintendo Switch version.

Announcement trailer

All major games for the month of May. I am thinking for including indie games but that may take more of my time that I can handle. I’ll try to at least highlight them and focus on their entertainment factor.
