Top New Games Out On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC This Week -- May 12-18 2019

This week is a roller coaster thanks to Rage 2, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and a new Bubsy game.

This week in May is a real roller coaster, from the bombastic, gun-toting Rage 2 to the slower, puzzle-filled A Plague Tale: Innocence. It's also a bit eerie thanks to the Castlevania Anniversary Collection and console ports of Darkwood. If that's all too heavy for you, you can always just go for a run and blow off some steam with Bubsy: Paws on Fire.

Rage 2 -- May 14

Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC

The world of Rage 2 is overrun with mutants and ruled by a group known as the Authority. As Walker, you can lay waste to both of these factions with guns and powerful Nanotrite abilities. You can also drive any vehicle you see in the open world, opening up plenty of roadkill opportunities.
