Game of the Month: The Best PlayStation Games of May 2015

It's safe to say that May was a pretty dire month for new releases, so much so that we actually struggled to gather a group of worthy Game of the Month nominees – but we did get there in the end. To be frank, we're not even sure why we're bothering with this introduction, as it's highly probable that you already know which title has claimed victory as last month's best release. Go on, say it. Embrace it. Give your PlayStation 4 a little wink, and join us in celebration.

Bronze Trophy: Nom Nom Galaxy

A weird and wonderful little download, Nom Nom Galaxy managed to capture the attention of reviewer Alex Stinton. A surprising sandbox experience, Alex concluded that despite some flaws, it's a title that'll "keep you coming back for more servings". The colourful and often zany creation gobbled down a score of 8/10, and, to no one's surprise, formed the basis of many a food related pun. Delicious.

Silver Trophy: Project CARS

Once again strapping his virtual racing helmet firmly to his non-virtual head, editor Sammy Barker took to the tracks of yet another racing title last month. Perhaps the most impressive in quite some time, Project CARS is a game that has the hardcore petrol heads firmly in its sights, as indicated by our 7/10 review, which concludes: "Once you get the controls where you want them, your car exactly how you like it, and your race day tactics tightened up, it delivers an exhilarating ride."

Gold Trophy: Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

A title which took us by surprise when it was initially announced, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a standalone prequel to 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order. The downloadable release offers another smashing single player romp, and scored a respectable 7/10. Reviewer Graham Banas wrote that "with an enormous amount of content available for such a slender sum, fans of The New Order shouldn't hesitate when it comes to this alternate history treat".

Platinum Trophy: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Woah! Who saw that one coming? As if our positively glowing 10/10 review wasn't enough of a hint, we really, really like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Geralt's grim adventure is glorious from start to finish, and, as we wrote in the aforementioned review, it sets the new standard for open world role-playing games. Summing our thoughts up rather nicely, we concluded our judgement by stating that "in an industry that's flooded with so many by-the-book open world titles, Wild Hunt stands out as a true labour of love from a developer that's uncompromisingly passionate about its creative freedom [...] Geralt's incredible adventure is nothing short of a masterpiece". A worthy Game of the Month winner, wouldn't you say?
