Alright, so let’s talk games. May’s PlayStation Plus lineup? Oh boy, it’s like a wild ride through a gaming theme park. Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start. Maybe you want some adventure? I mean, “Sand Land” is there for you. It’s like Dragon Ball but in a desert with cool vehicles to build. You’ve got Beelzebub, not your usual pal. And there’s Sheriff Rao — sounds like a buddy cop film, honestly. Desert, bandits, some army. It’s a lot. It’s kinda addictive though.
Anyway, switch gears and get into cyberpunk land with “Soul Hackers 2.” Think neon vibes, apocalypse looming. Some AI thing, Aion, decides humans are, well, not doing great. So, Ringo and Figue — who thought of these names? No offense — are tasked to save the world from some butterfly effect. Honestly, the whole tech-fiend-angel mashup is oddly charming. Who doesn’t like a sprinkle of mystery?
Then hey, if you’re more of a thrill-seeker (or like cautionary tales about pizza places?) “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted” should be your jam. Animatronics that’ll jump at you — like, literally. Ventilation repair and stuff? It’s bizarre and spooky, but in a good way. Yeah, makes zero sense if you’ve never dived into the Freddy universe. I’d say give it a shot, but maybe not alone at night?
And wait, remember when Battlefield was the big deal? “Battlefield V” revisits World War II but with a massively multiplayer twist. Grand Operations and the whole shebang. Firestorm too — their take on battle royale. Sometimes the sounds of battlefield chaos are weirdly relaxing? Or is it just me?
Okay, here comes the blast from the past — S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends. Open-world survival but make it vintage. Yeah, like radioactive zones and anomalies. Explore the mystery if you dare. There’s this atmosphere of dread that’s hard to shake off. Surprisingly addictive, though. I wonder if radiation gives gaming superpowers?
Now, for my fighting game aficionados, “Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising” adds some punch. Rising through the skies in battles without needing a gazillion combos. I love when games throw in epic adventures and let us live the fantasy.
Fast forward to “Humankind,” where you rewrite history. Mix cultures, make moral choices, and battle. It’s like playing chess but with civilizations. Those turn-based mini-battles on maps are oddly satisfying — never knew strategy could be that fun.
But if farms are more your turf, “Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life” is back! Farming, friendship, and family in this reimagined classic. So wholesome, it almost feels like therapy.
And finally, “Gloomhaven Mercenaries” lets you lead mercenaries into the unknown. Dark dungeons and tough choices. Maybe gritty isn’t your thing, but charging into chaos with a sword? That’s the stuff.
Oh, and “Battle Engine Aquila” for PS Premium peeps — pilot your way across land and air. You’re saving the world with a mech. No pressure or anything.
New games drop May 20, just in case you were counting days. Check what’s available in your region, though. Alright, that’s all I got. Stay curious, or distracted — no real difference most days.
