8 cool-ass video games to get hype about in May 2017

Is 2017 ready to give us a quiet month for video game releases? The year has already served up hits like Resident Evil VII and Horizon: Zero Dawn, not to mention a sensational new piece of hardware from Nintendo -- the Switch -- and two must-own games: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. May isn't brimming with obvious blockbusters the way some of the earlier 2017 months were, but what it lacks in marquee names it makes up for in sheer volume. There's a lot of stuff coming over the next 31 days that should be noteworthy to a lot of people. Prey has been described as a spiritual successor to System Shock, the classic PC game that finds you trapped on a space ship with a homicidal rogue AI.
