May seems to have been a busy time for video game releases, what with Uncharted 4, Doom, Battleborn and Overwatch all either released, or teetering on the edge of being out.

The latest Humble Monthly bundle has come out for May, and within it for subscribers is Mad Max, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, Galak-Z, and a notable crop of retro-inspired games, among other things. Whether you like multiplayer dungeon crawlers or point-and-click adventure games, this month's offerings look like another eclectic bunch for everyone.
