But, do tell: what new games, if any, are you looking forward to getting your hands on, this month? Whatever you end up playing over May, I hope you have a lovely time with it. Given the bombast of most games out this month, this one might be worth wishlisting for those seeking a little calm.


In fact, the main thing you’ll hear in the game is the original soundtrack, which was written by one of the game’s developers. That doesn’t mean you’ll be spending your time reading dialogue or listening to back-and-forths between characters, though the developer has said they’ve gone for a wordless game to allow players interpret the stories of The Longest Road On Earth however they like. Instead, The Longest Road On Earth sees you playing through four short stories that explore events that are more ordinary than extraordinary. You’re not running away from some giant lady, or trying to save and fuck the universe at the same time. This one is definitely the most relaxed game on this list. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (May 14th) So, good work, you marvellous deviant bastards, the lot of you. The returning Mercenaries mode should give people more than enough opportunity to unload on werewolves, gargoyles and the like… Those of you pulling a Kenneth Williams Carry On face at the mention of unloading have already come up with a more saucy gag than I can commit to a website CMS. Here’s hoping Resi 8’s campaign doesn’t favour shootouts over scariness too much, though. It takes place in a nondescript, creepy European village The Duke is a substitute for the “what are ya buyin’?,” fella and it appears to be one of the more action-focused games in the series. Everything we’ve seen of the game pre-release suggests this is effectively a first-person version of Leon’s mission to save the president’s daughter. While some are frothing at the mouth (and probably a few other places) in anticipation of myriad cutscenes that see the tall woman driving her Louboutins into every part of protagonist Ethan Winters, the majority of Resi diehards are just hoping Village will give them the same joy as Resident Evil 4.
