May Game Releases kick off with Resident Evil Village, which Nicco reviewed late last week, and Hood: Outlaws & Legends which looks to be a great online co-op game. Then we have the likes of Mass Effect Legendary Edition which is going to be please both veterans of the series but also introduce many gamers that missed the original releases. Other noticeable releases in May are Base One, a space base builder, Knockout City which is an epic dodgeball experience, Biomutant which is a single player action roleplaying game, King of Seas which I’ve mentioned previously which is an isometric pirate adventure, and Strangeland later in the month by Wadget Eye Games. The Switch also gets a few exclusives with Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir, Arcaea, Miitopia and World’s End Club, while the portable console also features a few re-releases such as Maneater, Snowrunner and Backworlds. Here’s what’s coming up for May game releases.
