The PC game releases we're most excited about in May

An initial glance at May game releases almost had me calling it a quieter month, but I think it's just because there's no gauntlet of back-to-back RPGs. I'll gladly accept the breather, but there's still plenty on the docket for these next few weeks if you're looking for something to play with a friend.

Among Us 3D kicks things off for something to build hostilities within bigger groups, while Revenge of the Savage Planet and Dune: Awakening delay pushing it into June, my schedule is better for it. (And we might avoid some Doom/Dune confusion.)

There's quite a few worth at least a cursory glance, but I've highlighted some of the biggest games we're looking forward to in May, along with a few events and sales happening leading us all the way into June.
