It’s time to close out May after a rainy Memorial Day here on the East Coast. IO Interactive’s 007 First Light headlines the last wave of game releases for the month, but don’t sleep on two very different upcoming indie games that are making their debut as well.
Mina the Hollower is the latest make-or-break, retro-inspired homage from Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games. You’re a mouse who burrows underground and whips through dungeons via a mix of Castlevania combat and Zelda puzzles. Then there’s Enter the Chronosphere, a sci-fi turn-based bullet hell roguelike from Effort Star. It has a neat, psychedelic art style and some very positive initial Steam reviews. I’ll be checking it out later this week.
