May has a real spring in its step, with games coming out including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Redfall, Lego 2K Drive, and more! We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "As a whole, this entire game just reeks of “we didn’t care about making it”. Redfall might not be the worst game released in 2023, but I don’t think I have played something more uninspired. It looks dated, its performance is disappointing, its plot is bland, the controls are glitchy, and the entire gameplay loop is the most generic and passion-devoid AAA schtick you could think of. If Arkane clearly wasn’t willing to make this game, then why would any of us should or want to care about it? Not even the fact it’s on Gamepass makes it being worth downloading it and playing for a day or two."
Just leave the dev to concentrate on what they do best - immersive sims. That said, this blunder of a game made most of the key talent jump ship. Sad; being Arkane were easily one of my favorite developers.
I blame Harvey Smith. Any time he is given a production role, he stumbles. Redfall and Deus Ex: Invisible War back when. He's a good creative talent, but he shouldn't be leading a project.
It’s just like in Sports and Companies. There are people that make great assistant coaches/coordinators but average to bad coaches. There are people that make great VPs but bad Head CEOs.
The problem in leaving them to what they do best is having 75% of you capable team leave when they were acquired by MS
PS5 sales jumped 197% in Europe over August 2022.
If you've been enjoying building things up in LEGO 2K Drive, then Season 2 of the Drive Pass should be one of interest.
Zelda is THE game of May. Everything else is light years away in every aspect.
Did they mention ravenlock? More excited for that than Redfall honestly. Definitely getting age of wonders 4
June will be the month for me. FFXVI, Diablo 4 & SF6.
I'm quite interested in the Lego Racers game surprisingly. Looks promising.
