As always, only you can decide.<\/p>\n<p>May wasn&#8217;t what I would call stacked, but it did have a couple of heavy hitters in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/007_first_light\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">007 First Light<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/lego_batman_legacy_of_the_dark_knight\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight<\/a> \u2014 and those two blockbusters (pun mostly intended) were flanked by some really highly rated, smaller releases.<\/p>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/mixtape\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mixtape<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/mina_the_hollower\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mina the Hollower<\/a> were met with rave reviews, and they couldn&#8217;t be much further away from each other in terms of gameplay and design.<\/p>\n<p>So again, it wasn&#8217;t the most packed month, but the quality was certainly clear for all to see.
