In the gaming world and landscape now where the term “less is more” rings true this month as it is more of a quieter range of releases that needs a shoutout and more chance to chip away at my backlog while replaying Destiny 2, Stellar Blade, and Helldiver.
It’s a reassuring sign that gaming this year is so good in the current trajectory and direction where quality trumps quantity, and new releases don’t always need to rush in to fill the gaps.
Here are some of the highlights of what’s to come and why we are excited about it this month. If we missed any hidden gems, don’t be shy and drop by the comments or tag us to share the excitement. It’s time to elevate our gaming experience this May 2024.
