Our May games picks

Each month a slew of new games come to Play. To help you find the ones that you’ll love, we – the Play editors – are sharing our favourite recent releases. Our Spotlight title is a game that’s won our hearts with stunning visuals, intuitive gameplay or pure simplistic fun – we know you’ll love our pick of the month.

Connect letters to form words in this delightful treat for word nerds. As you progress through 500+ handmade levels, you’ll solve increasingly sophisticated letter honeycombs with sprawling spirals of words to discover. Fortunately, as each puzzle is themed, you'll know roughly what sort of word to look for.

With daily challenges, a level creator and player-made puzzles to enjoy, Honeycomb’s wealth of content keeps it as fresh as its excellent premise.

Whether they amused, soothed, scared or tested us, these Highlights are an ensemble of our favourite games this month.

For those with an appetite for the alternative, the Indie Highlights collection presents this month’s best new Indie games on Play.
