May 2026 has been a weird month for games, loads of highly anticipated titles have been released over the past 30-ish days, but they've almost always been accompanied by a flood of very similar companions. From retro throwbacks to musical odysseys to games set in a big building, this run of games all drawing inspiration from the same themes has made it even harder to find the hidden gems amidst the diamonds in the rough, but luckily for you, The Architect is here to show you five games from May 2026 that You Should Have Played!
