So this month, PlayStation Plus is just bursting with all kinds of games. Adventure, mystery, or something to make you jump out of your skin—May’s catalog has you sorted. It’s like walking through a candy store, but, you know, for gamers. Anyway, you’ve got everything from vast desert adventures in Sand Land to eerie nights at Freddy’s.
By the way, PlayStation Plus Premium folks get a throwback with Battle Engine Aquila, the classic from the PS2 era. Kind of wild to think about, huh?
Start marking your calendars for May 20th. That’s when you can dive in.

### Extra and Premium Picks
First up, Sand Land. Ever thought about driving around a desert world, crafting vehicles? Nope, me neither, but here we are. From the Dragon Ball creator, it’s all about a journey with Beelzebub, Thief, and Sheriff Rao. Yeah, I too almost forgot the sheriff part amid all those bandits and wild animals. Oh, and you try to find this Legendary Spring. Maybe there, maybe not. Guess you’ll have to see.
Soul Hackers 2? Totally cyberpunk meets neo-noir vibes. There’s this thing called Aion, not a fan of humans messing up, predicts catastrophe. Sends Ringo and Figue to save the day. Or maybe they won’t. Between glows of neon lights and brewing wars…you’ve got some serious digital detective work ahead.

Remember Five Nights at Freddy’s? They’ve got a Full Time Edition now. More jump scares, animatronics, and you as the night watchman. Surviving with broken animatronics—oh, and it’s all remodeled for that immersive thrill. You might need to check your pants, just saying.
Oh, and Battlefield V is bringing back the essence of WWII. Massive multiplayer madness, or dive solo with War Stories. Firestorm mode? Yeah, that’s their take on Battle Royale. Who knew history could feel so… explosive?
—
Then there’s your S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy. It’s the kind of survival game that gets under your skin with radioactive zones and crazy mutants. Like, sometimes, I think they make these games just to see how long we can last before the insanity kicks in. Just saying.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is apparently a blast, even if you’re no pro at fighting games. Smack buttons, unleash moves, and explore the skies in what’s essentially an epic quest format. Perfect for just diving in, or maybe you end up like me, wondering how you got to level 10 without even trying.

Humankind—this one’s about rewriting human history. Yes, scientifically-backed decisions, interwoven cultural interestingness. Ever imagined your army as a board game piece? Well, this is that, with a pinch of strategic mind games blended right in. Who knows what kind of civilization you’ll create.
And let’s not forget Story of Seasons. Plant, nurture, farm, repeat. It’s that wholesome life sim where you raise critters, find love, and live the slow life. Kind of nice when the world outside is less farm-y and more chaos-y.
Gloomhaven brings you tactical RPG decisions, facing grim dungeons and maybe sketchy allies. You’re paid not to ask questions—now there’s a job description.
Oh, almost forgot! Battle Engine Aquila on PS Plus Premium. Deadly forces fighting for land, and then there’s you… in a powerful machine. Ground or air, your call. How you use that firepower? It’s like being handed the keys to the world’s most intimidating toy box.
Anyway, that’s about it for this month. Got a favorite? Or maybe something you’re just absolutely never touching? Let me know.

PlayStation Plus is wild sometimes, different in each region, reminds me of when you wouldn’t find the same treats in convenience stores across towns. Always a bit of a gamble. So, check those local listings, because I’m just the messenger.
