Rest of the month!

Soda Crisis [PC] – May 24
Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds [PC] – May 25
Ogre [Switch] – May 25
Golfie [PC] – May 26
My Time at Sandrock [PC] – May 26
Sniper Elite 5 [PC, PS5, XSX, PS4, XBO] – May 26
Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers [PC, PS5, XSX, PS4, XBO, Switch] – May 27
Kao the Kangaroo [PC, PS5, XSX, PS4, XBO, Switch] – May 27
Microsoft Flight Simulator: Top Gun Maverick DLC [PC, XSX] – May 27
Moo Lander [PC, PS4, XBO] – May 27
Pac-Man Museum+ [PC, PS4, XBO, Switch] – May 27

Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy [PC] – May 27

I am curious about Kao the Kangaroo. This and TY the Tasmanian Tiger seem to have garnered a reputation which I didn't really pay attention to at the time... but i'm wondering if they're just chasing the Crash Bandicoot remake money...!

Always good to see more 3D platformers though but I won't be paying for 30 quid for it on day one.

Quite disappointed by the response to Salt & Sacrifice. Reviews seem to be hovering around the 7 out of 10, but user reviews and feedback seems significantly lower (from a cursory glance at comment sections below reviews). 7 out of 10 is by no means a bad score, but the first game really was a 10 for me. One to save for a sale, perhaps.

The OpenCritic average is 77, so nearer 8/10, for what it's worth.

Salt & Sanctuary has 6% higher (83), for comparison.

Definitely keen on Diablo Immortal even though Blizzard isn't really the name I want to be putting time/money into no a moral standpoint but at this rate, if we stop playing games based on the idiots who have done terrible things there will be nothing left to play.

It's free to play and I intend on not feeding the system, finanically, in any way shape or form. I bought D2R before all the news came out and I wish I hadn't and couldn't get a refund but after a bit of time i'm OK with playing a F2P game with the Diablo and therefore Blizzards name on the front.

Very impressed with the Switch demo of Silt. It’s way more than the generic, moody indie platformer of sorts I took away from the last Nintendo Indie World Showcase. Very smart and atmospheric action-puzzler instead, and I’ll definitely be picking it up.

KOTOR 2 sounds interesting on Switch, seems they've restored a bit of cut content from the original so now it has a proper ending. I'll pick that up along with the first one when I have time to play them. Loved them back in the day on PC and never finished the second one at the time.

Nick's smash clone is being added to PSPlus this month. While it has many issues(most I'd say stemming from Nickelodeon proper being cheapskates), since it's 'free' now there's no harm in recommending it. The devs have pledged to continue to support it, and (today?) They're adding voice acting. It also has rollback netcode, the hallmark of good online.

Really hope Mario Strikers is good - itching for a great Mario sports game.

The ones on the Switch have felt so close to capturing the magic of previous iterations (Tennis and Golf particularly) but they've just missed the mark for me this generation.

Reviews for Mario Strikers have dropped and....it's the same story with every Mario sports game on the Switch; gameplay is good but there's minimal content.

I've been really disappointed with Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on the Switch; I loved the Gamecube iterations but since then they've been slowly sliding downhill.

Bah. Maybe down the line when more content's been added (or it's a little chepaer).

It's wild to me that this is coming out so far ahead of the collection. I guess my non-professional marketing brain would have thought to put The Cowabunga Collection out first, to get people even more jazzed for a new entry.
