The first few months of 2023 have been absolutely terrible for anyone looking to avoid spending cash on quality digital entertainment, as each month has offered an absurd number of exciting games to play on console and PC. April is no different, as the month ahead continues the cadence set by the first quarter of the year with highly anticipated blockbusters, tempting indies, and a remake of a beloved cult-classic game.

Easily the biggest game of April is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which continues the adventures of Cal Kestis in a galaxy that's very hostile to anyone who dares to wield a lightsaber. Respawn's first game in the series, Fallen Order, was a smash hit, and expectations are high for the sequel. Early footage has looked promising so far, and with numerous quality-of-life updates, this new entry in the series looks like a showcase for Force feedback action.

For Xbox gamers, April will see the arrival of Ghostwire: Tokyo. Originally a PS5 console exclusive, this game from developer Tango Gameworks is a thrilling tour across a haunted slice of Japan. It's not as scary as the studio's Evil Within games, but it still packs a punch with some great thrills and spell-weaving combat that'll make you feel like a sorcerer supreme. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Minecraft universe is expanding with the release of Minecraft Legends on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC.

For Nintendo Switch owners, the big release is Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp. Delayed for more than a year, the remakes of the first two games in the beloved turn-based tactics series are sure
