Shotgun Cop Man

Release Date: May 1
Platforms: PC, Nintendo Switch

 

This one’s pure chaos. Shotgun Cop Man turns movement into mayhem. You don’t just run—you blast your way around by firing your weapons for momentum. That’s right, shooting isn’t just for damage—it’s also your main mode of travel. This fast-paced indie gem comes from the creators of My Name is Pedro. It’s weird, wild, and priced at just ten bucks.

The real kicker? There’s a level editor, so expect insane community content to roll in fast. If you want quick bursts of adrenaline between longer game sessions, this one is your fix. It’s a wild concept, but it works.

 

Metal Eden

Release Date: May 6
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S

 

Boomer shooters aren’t dead. Metal Eden proves it with stylish gunplay, parkour madness, and high-speed carnage. Made by the devs behind Ruiner, this sci-fi shooter feels like a love letter to the genre. You’ve got parkour mechanics, pulse-pounding action, and a slick demo already out.

If you’re waiting for Doom: The Dark Ages, consider this your warm-up. The pace is relentless, the gunplay satisfying, and the levels are designed to keep your reflexes on edge. It’s a throwback and a step forward—all in one package.

 

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

Release Date: May 6
Platform: PS5

 

The legend returns. Age of Empires II finally hits PlayStation 5 with full controller support and updated graphics. Forget clunky port jobs—this version was made for console players. Command armies, build cities, and dominate the battlefield without needing a mouse and keyboard.

It’s the same classic real-time strategy game, now built for a new generation. You’re not just reliving history—you’re rewriting it with smoother controls and all the expansions baked in. Whether you’re a veteran or jumping in for the first time, this version nails it.

 

Among Us 3D

Release Date: May 6
Platform: PC

 

Sus just went 3D. Among Us 3D throws you into first-person chaos where spotting the imposter takes serious focus. The new view adds tension to every task. And yes, it’s cross-platform with VR players.

The change in perspective is more than a gimmick—it transforms the vibe completely. It’s scarier, more immersive, and makes those emergency meetings even more intense. If you’ve played the original to death, this version brings the paranoia back in full force.

 

Deck of Haunts

Release Date: May 7
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch

 

Flip the script. In Deck of Haunts, you don’t escape haunted mansions—you build them. Combine roguelike mechanics with a strategy deckbuilder, and you’ve got something different. Lure humans in, trap them, and drain their essence.

Your haunted mansion grows over time, shifting layouts and gaining new powers. Summon spirits, rearrange hallways, and unleash nightmares using your custom deck. The game keeps the pressure on day and night, blending building with battle.

 

Survival Machine

Release Date: May 7
Platform: PC (Steam Early Access)

 

Zombie survival gets a twist. In Survival Machine, your base isn’t static—it’s mobile. Move across the map by day, gather supplies, and prepare for brutal night attacks. You’re not just surviving—you’re building on the go.

Coordinate with teammates, lay traps, and use your resources wisely. This isn’t your average horde mode. Every day is prep, and every night is war. It’s frantic, fun, and always evolving.

 

The Midnight Walk

Release Date: May 8
Platforms: PC, PS5

Horror meets chill in The Midnight Walk. This handcrafted game looks like stop-motion film come to life. As The Burnt One, you guide light through a dark, eerie world.

The vibe is calm but creepy. You’re not sprinting from monsters—you’re slowly pushing back the darkness. The art style alone makes this one worth checking out, but the gameplay has heart. It’s a horror game that doesn’t scream at you—it whispers.

 

Spirit of the North 2

Release Date: May 8
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S

 

Play as a lone fox on a quest to find lost guardians. Spirit of the North 2 is a meditative experience with a heavy dose of exploration and beauty. You’re not in a rush here—it’s about the journey.

As you search for ancient spirits and dodge the dark shaman Grimnir, the story slowly unfolds. Nature takes center stage, and the visuals are stunning. For players who want emotional depth without loud cutscenes, this is your game.

 

Revenge of the Savage Planet

Release Date: May 8
Platforms: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S

 

This sequel doubles down on what made the first game weird and wonderful. Revenge of the Savage Planet mixes co-op exploration with sharp humor and bright visuals.

It’s part sci-fi romp, part industry satire, and totally worth your time. Developer Raccoon Logic even throws shade at Google’s Stadia in this one. If you liked Journey to the Savage Planet, the sequel turns everything up a notch.

 

Void Sails

Release Date: May 14
Platform: PC

 

Forget oceans—you’re sailing the skies now. Void Sails is an action-RPG about flying ships, lost family, and world-hopping danger. You’re on a mission to find your missing father while customizing your airship.

Each choice changes the story. Each battle forces you to think. The world is massive and mysterious, and your ship is your lifeline. This isn’t just about combat—it’s about exploration and survival.

 

Doom: The Dark Ages

Release Date: May 15
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S

 

Brace yourself. Doom: The Dark Ages is brutal, bloody, and takes the series deep into medieval mayhem. Forget sleek sci-fi—this is steel, fire, and cyber-dragons.

You play as the Doom Slayer before he became a legend. The game adds layers to the lore while keeping the gunplay vicious and fast. Expect new weapons, new enemies, and that signature Doom rage-fueled energy. It’s the headliner for a reason.

 

Capcom Fighting Collection 2

Release Date: May 16
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch

 

Old-school brawlers make a comeback. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings together some of the most iconic titles in fighting history. Think Power Stone, Capcom vs. SNK, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, and more.

You’re getting rollback netcode, online multiplayer, and access to gems that haven’t been playable for years. If you miss arcade action, this one scratches that itch and then some.

 

RoadCraft

Release Date: May 20
Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S

 

Disaster recovery gets real. In RoadCraft, you lead a construction crew tasked with rebuilding areas destroyed by natural disasters. Clear debris, rebuild roads, and use heavy machinery to restore order.

It’s not all mindless labor either. The game blends realism with a solid mission structure. If you love construction sims with purpose, this delivers something more grounded and rewarding.
