Mai makes everything new, at least that's how it is said. Does this also apply to the video game industry? Well, please do not expect a hardware revolution, no new establishment of an innovative genre or the like. But of course new games are launched in May. The really big AAA highlights are missing, but you can also have a lot of fun with indie titles and medium-sized productions. As for these areas, May is not too scarce.

Wildcat Gun Machine

Do you like Bullet-Hell-Shooter, Dungeon Crawler, 2D comic graphics and cats? Then Wildcat Gun Machine could be just right for you. In the action game you ballert yourself in the isometric view as a female main character through nested dungeons.

There are these games that draw attention to themselves because of their look al1. We don't even mean titles with "blatant graphics", but those who have a special style. Trek to Yomi is one of that.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters

And again a Warhammer game! After Total War: Warhammer 3, however, dealt with the Fantasy scenario Games Workshop in February, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate-Daemonhunter is again about the sci-fi alternative. Here you have control over the Gray Knights, an order of Space Marines, who is very interested in the fact that his secrets are not revealed. Therefore, you do not shy away from deleting people or killing them immediately. Nevertheless: You play the "good" in this story, because your job is to stop bad powers that cover the galaxy with a cosmic plague.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate-Daemonhunter looks like an XCOM cl1. You have an operation base that gradually expands her, and puts together a squad Space Marines, with which you can complete crispy missions on different worlds that always result in round -based, tactically demanding battles. According to the makers, however, it is a role -playing game. How much this genre name applies is still to be seen. Sure, your characters level up, learn more and more skills in the course of the game and you can adapt their equipment, but all of this is also available in XCOM that nobody would say that it is an RPG.

Point-and-click adventure are dead and has been as a claimed for many, many years. It is true that the genre is no longer as popular as in the late 80s and the 90s, but it is definitely not dead. Last but not least, this proves the announcement of Return to Monkey Island. Long before Guybrush Threepwood returns, a new adventure with classic mouse control will be released in May.

eiyuden chronicle: rising

genre: * action role-playing game Developer: Natsume Atari Publisher: 505 Games Release: * 10.05. Platforms: * PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch

In 2023, a intellectual successor to the Suikoden games appears with Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. This is a while, but at least this month there is a small foretaste in the form of Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. This is an action role-playing game in which you explore various areas with three different characters in the side view and chop monsters. In doing so, you collect resources that are necessary for the expansion of the small mining settlement New Nevaeh, the starting point of all quests.

If you, by the way, play Eyuden Chronicle: Rising and later get Hundreead Heroes for the same platform, benefit from some advantages, including cosmetic items, but also equipment and commercial goods.

We here here forever

genre: * Adventure Developer: Total Mayhem Games Publisher: Total Mayhem Games Release: * 10.05. Platforms: * PC

We were here forever is the next part of the "We Were here" series by developer Total Mayhem Games, which is characterized by the fact that it is aimed exclusively at player duos. You can also only play the new offshoot in the online co-op, not solo. Microphones are mandatory, because you have to communicate via walkie talkies that are available to you in the game in order to solve the many puzzles that await you in the arctic game world.

The starting point of the two characters is not exactly of a pleasant variety. They are both prisoners in Castle Rock Castle. Your goal is to escape from the fortress. This only succeeds if they work well together. The region's extremely cold climate is troubled by them. By the way: You don't have to play the three predecessors in order to enjoy We Were here Forever. The stories are connected, but every episode tells an independent act.

Now to We Were here Forever on Steam!

Salt and Sacrifice

genre: * action role-playing game Developer: Ska Studios Publisher: Ska Studios Release: * 11.05. Platforms: * PC, PS5, PS4

Salt and Sanctuary, a game appeared six years ago, which apart from his 2D graphic is probably more soul-like than any other title that can be assigned to this genre. If you were nasty, you could call it the brazen "Dark Souls" cl1. Even then, Salt and Sanctuary would still be a damn good clone that has been so popular that a successor is now at the door. Salt and Sacrifice remains true to the formula and graphic style of the first part and seems to offer more of what fans like. As a so -called "branded inquisitor", it is your job to defend your home kingdom against the penetrated magicians who spread fear and terror. You explore the western border area, a huge, labyrinth -like region in which not only all sorts of dangers lurk, but also wait numerous secrets to be revealed by you.

As this belongs to a soul-like, the level of difficulty of the fights is very high and the death rate of Inquisitors is even higher. However, if you succeed in having the magicians down, you can make mighty weapons and armor from their meat and bones. And if you don't want to search the borderland alone: Salt and Sacrifice offers an online co-op mode for two players. However, if you want to measure yourself against other Inquisitors instead of working with them, this is also possible. As in Dark Souls, there are various factions that you swear loyalty and for which you can compete in PvP fights.

Now to Salt and Sacrifice in the Epic Games Store!

Evil Dead: The Game

Genre: * Multiplayer survival horror game Developer: Saber Interactive Publisher: Saber Interactive, Boss Team Games * Release: 13.05.

* Platforms: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch

There was great concern in mid -April, Evil Dead: The Game could land on the index in Germany. It was said that the uncut version did not receive any release from the USK, as was the case with the Dying Light 2 published in February (but no index has been carried out to date). But we can breathe a sigh of relief since last week. The asymmetrical multiplayer game by Saber Interactive (Snowrunner, Killing Floor 2) has received the "from 18" seal and appears in this country without restrictions on violence.

Evil Dead: The game may be instinctively sorted into the same shelf as Dead by Daylight, but the comparison does not fit. If you play as an Ash or one of the other characters from the films or the series, in contrast to the survivors in the multiplayer hit by Behaviour Interactive, you are anything but defenseless. Hey, Ash has at least mounted a chainsaw on his right arm and of course his shotgun..., uh, of course we don't mean his fire. So nothing stands in the way of the happy slaughter of demons. But you can also slip into the role of evil monstrosities and hunt the heroes.

Now Evil Dead: Pre -order the game!

Vampire: The Masquerade - SwanSong

genre: * role play Developer: Big Bad Wolf Publisher: Nacon Release: * 19.05. Platforms: * PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch

When and whether vampires: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 appears at all, is in the stars after a previously problematic development and a change of developer. Fans of the "World of Darkness" are served this month a different blood sucker role -playing game. Vampire: The Masquerade-SwanSong comes from Big Bad Wolf, the creators of the episode adventure The Council. Similar to that, your new title is very dialogue and puzzle-heavy. But the team emphasizes that Swan song is not an adventure with RPG elements, but more the opposite. Disco Elysium has proven that something like this can work very well.

The story takes place in Boston. Unknown assassins are targeting the Camarilla, the vampires' secret society there. Hazel Iversen, also called "the swan", commissioned three of his subordinates to get to the bottom of the matter. You slip into all three roles. The characters experience their own stories, which overlap again and again and ultimately result in one of numerous possible ends. So your decisions should have a strong impact. The talents of your figures play an important role. As you skill the heroes, your options in the dialogues have a noticeable effect.

Now order Vampire: The Masquerade - pre -order swan song!

Sniper Elite 5

There are a number of riflescopes, shafts, runs and magazines to choose from. The other weapons can also be adjusted.
