Keeping track of all the latest games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might otherwise overlook.
April isn’t quite as busy as the first couple months of the year were, but there are still some big games to look forward to, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and development-hell-survivor Dead Island 2. Meanwhile, on the indie front, players can look forward to Behaviour Interactive’s latest Meet Your Maker, the super-stylish The Last Case of Benedict Fox, and more.
