The Kinda Funny Gamescast team comprehensively reviews every game releasing in April 2026, highlighting major titles like Pragmata, Starfield's PlayStation debut, Pokemon Champions, and Hades 2, while discussing gameplay impressions, art styles, and anticipated releases across multiple platforms.
Insights
- April 2026 represents a strong month for indie and mid-tier releases alongside major AAA titles, with particular strength in narrative-driven games and roguelikes
- Early Access games present a double-edged sword for players—offering early access to promising titles but creating fragmented play experiences and decision paralysis about when to commit
- Art style and presentation are increasingly critical differentiators for indie games, with visual fidelity sometimes mismatched to animation quality creating disconnect for players
- Multiplayer and social features are becoming standard expectations even in traditionally single-player genres like management sims and narrative adventures
- PlayStation's acquisition of major Xbox exclusives like Starfield signals continued platform convergence and changing exclusivity strategies in the industry
Trends
Roguelike and roguelite mechanics dominating indie releases across multiple genres (deck builders, action games, dungeon crawlers)Narrative-driven games increasingly incorporating player choice systems that affect other players' experiences (Tides of Tomorrow, Returnal: Echoes of Mora)Management simulation games expanding beyond traditional business sims into lifestyle and creative spaces (golf architect, convenience store, pottery)Pixel art and retro-inspired aesthetics remaining strong in indie space while HD-2D style becoming increasingly commonCross-platform releases (Switch 2, PC, PlayStation, Xbox) becoming standard rather than exclusive launchesParty games and couch co-op experiences gaining traction with family-friendly titles (Kiln, Tomodachi Life)First-person perspective becoming more common in action-adventure and narrative games previously dominated by third-personVR and motion control integration expanding beyond dedicated VR titles into mainstream releasesFree-to-play battle-focused games (Pokemon Champions) challenging traditional premium Pokemon releasesCinematic platformers and puzzle-platformers emerging as distinct subgenre with emphasis on presentation over mechanical complexity

I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller alongside Forbes 30 under 30. Hey, hey, hey, New York game, Ward's nominated. Hey, hey, hey, Goldfish Bobby. It's blessing Eddie. Oh, you do get in a little snack between shows. Oh man, I hear you. I was eating chicken wings out there. Oh, I went, I walked in. I said, Mike, you may throw my salad yesterday. I think chicken wings are more acceptable at 1045. You know what I walked into Mike and Mike's room. I was like, Hey, I'm an order McDonald's. You want to think he said, no, then we got Jabba drawn in there. The next thing I know I went to do it is like, you can't order. Oh, fuck. Damn. It's how I was torn up. I didn't want to have my rice. All right. Should we bring back McDonald's 24 seven? Yes, we should. Didn't COVID kill that? Isn't that what happened? What happened? Yeah, Greg is like, he came back and then they killed it again. I was literally, then I was telling Andy that I screwed up the McDonald's order and I literally while I was explaining it to him, he was like, ah, Starbucks, I could have just pivoted the bucks. Got in a breakfast sandwich. I'm a one. What is that? A week's and it's 24 seven breakfast at McDonald's. I want hash browns nonstop. Yeah. 100% hash browns, a little flapjack hotcakes. Oh my gosh. My little brother had one of those McGriddles. I've never had a McGriddle. Never had a McGriddle. Let me tell you what, I got the scent of that McGriddle. I said, am I doing it wrong? Yeah. Yeah. You shouldn't have a McGriddle. I love McGriddle. McGriddle McMuffin is the difference is the pancake. The difference. Yeah. The difference is like the is the pancake bun. The bun is pretty much a pancake infused with syrup. Yeah. It's one of the most wonderful creatures. When they took it right, it's right. Like when I have one of those, I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack. I still remember our first time eating a McGriddle. Like that's how good it is. Yeah. It felt like discovering a gem. It was a big deal. I remember when they announced that, when they brought that out. Of course, he's the master of hype still like Mike. Greg, thanks for having me. A really fun episode. These are my favorite episodes, but it's a double edged sword. Because I get so excited for these games, but then I also have the pressure of like, I'm never going to get to these games. Yeah. And I'm trying my best. Of course. Of course. Of course. Yeah. We're talking about every game coming on April. There's a lot as always. Isn't that right? Hispanic car, Throb, Texas street, Latino heat, clickin' heads and ripping of the shreds, the globe, Trot and root and two and three point. Wow. I'd go right from Twitch.tv. Andy Cortez. Hello everybody. Real unfortunate. We're all trying our best out here, but real unfortunate that I spent $40 at the pump and got six and a half gallons. I filled my car yesterday on the way to the movie theater and like I was waiting for it to stop and it just never. You're still filling up. I was like, don't 40 bucks in there. Six and a half gallons. I'll go to hell, man. And also I'll tell you what, I got a car wash on Friday. I drove by Mike and Roger in the parking lot and they were like, damn, Roger, you would look good in that. Michael's like, Roger, you would look good in that car, Roger. And I was like, Roger, the price is just going up every day with how like expensive used cars are getting nowadays. Wash my car. It looks so pristine. It already looked like it rained dirt all over my car. Like, man, it's just a dirty car already. It's misting and it's also this the rest of this week is going to rain. It was a bad time to get a car wash. If you want to get a view, it was just misty though, but like it's misty and dirt. My car just looks like someone was also like, like throwing sand at it. Well, I mean, of course, you live in a city and you're parking outside. You don't have a garage just to give context to someone. Yeah. Well, I mean, the entirety of San Francisco has been under construction for the last six years. Oh, that's definitely what it is. It's the construction fucking dirt everywhere, dude. Lori, you know what I mean? What's it? Let's go San Francisco. I love that guy. We didn't know this is the kind of funny games cast each and every weekday. We run youth to the biggest topics in video games, whether they be reviews, previews or just topics we need to talk about. If you like that, of course, be part of the show with super chats, youtube.com slash kind of funny games. Right now you can tell me about your most anticipated games for April. So that when we get to talking about that game, I can throw in your opinion on it. Of course, we could have do this show without the opinions of our producers. I'm patreon.com slash kind of funny. So thank you, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster and Delaney the Psalm twining. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be topic of the show. It's March 31st, 2026. Me needs the last day of March, which means we need to look at April. Everybody, of course, Andy, don't get fooled tomorrow. All right, April Fool's Day pops off tomorrow. Don't be fooled when you wake up. All right. I'm going to see a lot of messages from Nick. Most of them are fake. I mean, most of the messages, you know, are popping up on not April Fool's and they're and they're coming from a fool. Yeah, like most of what happens. Yeah, damn, damn, that was crazy. It was deep. Thank you. I was going to say Tim yesterday, I missed him. Be for yourself, I guess. That's the that's the dark cloud hanging over. Tim returns April 13th. You know what I mean? Ah, no, we're going to talk through like we do every each and every month, going through every game coming out for the upcoming month. So we are, of course, turning our eyes to releases.com. And before we even jump into the games, are you expecting a big bumper crop month? You already said, Mike, you've seen what's going on here. But what? Yeah, a bumper crop. I saw a question. That's a real phrase. That is a real phrase. What, from the 1800 bumper crop? Fucking you're from the Midwest. Do you claim? Well, you're both you. What? Oh, you raise pigs. Shut up. I know. Thanks for doing a bumper crop. I'm having a sock hop dance. A bumper crop is an unusually larger, abundant harvest of fruit, vegetables or grain produced in the single farming season. Violet says it. Read more, you fucks. Get your head out of these goddamn archive of our own porn stories. All right. Get out of there. I was blessing. Are you expecting a lot of games in April? You're excited for? Yes, because I always, oh, that I'm excited for. Yeah. Yes. OK. I can't think. I've not looked at the board. Yeah, we'll go through the list. Off the top of my brain. Isn't Pragmata this month? It is. Yeah, that's the one. That and Pokemon Champions. And I'm sure this more. I just sure, sure, sure, sure. Amy, are you expecting a big April for you? Yeah, I mean, especially with Prague, with Pragmata and then it's so hard saying Pragmata now. I gotta say, I don't like it. I love it. Pragmatic. Pragmata. Pragmatic. No, it's definitely. Pragmata. Digmata. Pragmata. No. No. Really? Yeah, Stigmata is just the Jesus thing. I did that. I infected all your head. Yeah. Sorry. So we're saying Pragmata. It's Pragmata. Yeah, because that's how they've always said it on the Invidiat things. They've always said in Pragmata. That's how you just said it a little while ago. Pragmata. Yeah, but when I said it, I said it was excellent. I thought you guys were going to make fun of me. It's Pragmata. This is definitely the month where things are going to start heating up. It heats up. Yeah. We got replaced. We got Pragmata. We got Sauros. Oh, Sauros. Get into it. Of course, we're going to releases.com, where you should too, for a comprehensive look at everything coming out. Remember, we go day by day and kind of power through, unless there's something to say or show about that game. So April 1st is where it begins. No fooling. Goat Simulator 3 comes to switch to. I can't believe Goat Simulator is still going, but that's a conversation for a different day. Then I saw this one. Spark Ignites, PC Early Action. I feel like now's the only day that we could have that conversation about. No, no. We don't need to stop and talk about Goat Simulators. Continuous success. Spark Ignites, a pixel fantasy RPG, where the Star Gods blessing grants one wish each century. Or if an ash and clover uncover its bloody truth during their pilgrimage, holding a world changing secret will use steel, divine power, or defy the gods. Every choice writes a new ending. This looks sick as hell. That's that was my thought on it. You know what I mean? As I've come back into my turn based RPG years here, starting with Octopath last year, I into a multiple dragon quest this year. I looked at this and I said, you know what? I'm looking at you. PC Early Access does the thing where I'm like, Oh wait for you to come to switch in a year and a half, two years. You're what? You got to be like, you're playing on your Xbox, wrong ally. Yeah, of course. Could you not play there? But you're a switch guy now. So I get no, no, no. It's not even. Oh, the platform issue. No, I'm a PC gamer. You know that. Look at me over here. I'm on all sorts of dark subreddits now. I mean it more in the way of like, I'm still, I had this conversation real briefly on one of the shows yesterday. Maybe it was a great guy of somebody who has been out of shape that we put our video content on podcast fees on Spotify. And I had to explain to that person, like, you don't understand you're old. Like I'm with you of when I hear or say podcasts, I think of an MP3 me and Damon are uploading in a podcast room. Everyone else in the world now thinks of a video. It doesn't matter, right? I am still stick with me where I'm going. I'm still over here that when I see Early Access, I go, I'll wait for the final game. I don't want to jump into something that doesn't have every bell whistle, whatever they want to add to it kind of thing. And that's a dangerous game because now we know Early Access can take forever. Yeah. Yeah. And he's still playing Deadlock. I put that as my game of the year two years ago. Big news of Deadlock. Like big news of Deadlock. Everybody big news of Deadlock. Valve officially got the Deadlock Twitter account. Oh, wow. They're going to announce it soon. You go to at Deadlock. It's suspended because it's like they have to change the rights over or whatever. And the person who owned it was in a discord being like, Valve took it from me. So these are happening, everybody. These are looking at happening. I'm not, I feel like if Slade the Spire 2 wasn't Early Access, I probably would have committed to playing it more. But it being Early Access makes me want to wait for the full thing. Yeah. It's a double-edged sword where I'll wait and then it'll get there and there'll be something new and hotter than I need to go play. I think of Moonlighter 2. Andy, of course. They didn't update to that. And it's like, I love Moonlighter 1. I loved the little bit I played at review, but I was in a different one. You tackled the majority of it. But it's even with the update. I was like, I'll still wait. When are you going to be done? When are you going to be done? That's when I'll jump in. But I was supposed to hop in mainly because I, like I'm of two sides of it. I was close to hopping in and saying, let me see what the new thing is. But then I go, I don't know. I just, I experienced what I like. And now I have the knowledge knowing that I love Moonlighter 2. Maybe I just do wait for the final thing where I think that's, is a reason why I love Early Access is I get glimpsed to knowing whether I'm going to fuck with the game or not. Yeah. And then I go, all right, I'm totally fine waiting for whatever new updates come through, unless you're Hades 2. And I'm putting in 80 hours into Early Access. It was one that I feel like fucked me a little bit. Because yeah, I put in, well, actually it didn't fuck me. Because I, the progress carried over, which actually worked in my favor. I could just pick up from where I left off. But that was one where I played enough of it in that first Early Access launch. And I was like, all right, I'll wait for the full release. And then it's like, I'm having this weird sort of like cut up experience. Because it's like, I played this a year ago. No, I'm not the biggest fan of that. You know, and I understand I'm pro Early Access in terms of what it does for the game. But I don't want to be the guy that's like, damn, all right, I'm going to hop into the Early Access, test the game for you and then come back or whatever. I'll just play the thing when it's done. But I also like, you know, I like Scream for the mountaintops. This game's worth it. Yeah. Please support it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Whatever, you know, saw some glimpses of promise here. But for the most part, this is the one you might want to skip or whatever. Also round, I'm sorry, rounding out April 1st is Jufu Te's a rod and a guide to Pixel Museum on all the Xboxes. So if you've been looking forward to that pixel museum, it's here, everybody. We moved April 2nd, which I would say is the first day where it's heating up out there. We start with Darwin's paradox, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X, dive into the adventure with Darwin and octopus as endearing as he is in genius, torn from the ocean, entrapped in a vast and mysterious industrial complex, harness his unique talents and abilities to help him overcome the many dangers and traps in this captivating platformer and adventure game. Where are we out with this? Of course, this one's salt on earth for me. I won't go back. You teased a metal gear, then you showed me the octopus. You're dead to me. Yeah, reviews are out right now. So they're in flux, of course, because they started dropping, but 74 on Metacritic. This is a game. I love that they're calling it a cinematic platformer. I'm going to add that to my lexicon here, because I don't usually call it cinematic good use of lexicon. Thank I like that. Yeah, just what is a cinematic platformer? A cinematic platformer to me is like an inside. I think it is a 2D platformer that is more heavily based on the what you're seeing visual wise, setting the tone as opposed to like, hey, we're there's a lot of gameplay at the forefront. I guess is what I think about it. Changing perspectives a lot. Maybe I just call that a puzzle platformer because I think that is the gameplay. You know, the gameplay here is solving puzzles more so than the execution of it. But, you know, I respect marketing. Yeah, I respect this. I'm a former. This is one that I've been looking forward to. I did enjoy the Metal Gear Solid demo. I like the game. It is a little slow and noting some of the reviews here, one from Game Informer noting that it's like just a little bit slow when it comes to the hiding mechanic. I felt that as well as like the octopus goes in camouflage mode. When you wait and hold for a minute, it is kind of a long drawn out experience. I'm sure over a course of a couple hours. Did you enjoy it more than reanimal? Oh, oh, oh, we had some good laughs and reanimal. Truly good. I enjoyed reanimal more. OK, what I've played with Darwin's Paradox, but I look forward to trying this one. OK, fair enough. From there, we roll on and right into Fishbowl. This is still April 2nd. There's a lot of April 2nd stuff here. Fishbowl comes to PlayStation 5 PC. It's a Greg Ask game. Twenty one year old Aldo lands her first job in a new city and lives alone while grieving her grandmother's death. I'm in. Let's fucking go. The daily choices she makes in navigating life lead to a unique journey of self discovery. She's grieving. Let's go. You know what I mean? Let's see what the discovery is all about as we jump into it, go through it and see what's going to be about Fishbowl. I have not paid much attention to it, but again, that sounds like a goofy little game, a cozy little game, you know, emotional little game that I'm definitely going to kick the tires on. But sadly, it will be right at the bench because the bigger game coming out for me on April 2nd is I am Jesus Christ. This comes to PC. Walk in the footsteps of Jesus in this immersive first person retelling of his life from baptism to resurrection, perform iconic miracles, meet biblical figures and explore the Holy Land from Jerusalem to Galilee. Experience the story of the Messiah and I am Jesus Christ. Yeah, this one's been a long time coming. I can confirm to everyone I have it. There is no cargo. We're doing a Thursday game. Yeah, we I mean, we know what happens. Game cast play. Well, you know, we'll see what's up. Gamescast plays. We're doing it. We're with me and Nick. If he's not in jury duty, I will be sure to tell you what's going on in this game. And I will walk you through Jesus's life here. We don't know what happens. We don't know. No bar go yet. There's no story spoilers. Yeah, I can't wait to see. Is there a moment? A moment. Are people mad about this one? Why would they be like, I'm not seeing the red at threads or anything like that. I think that's got announced a long time ago. We saw this like an IGN summer game fest. And I think that was when all the laughter on Twitter was. But I don't I haven't seen anything like. And we're angry about here's my thing is, I think with the way they've been presenting it, they're presenting it as like, yo, we're making a game about Jesus, not like, haha, we're making a game about Jesus. If it was the haha game by Jesus, people mad. But it's but he's why I feel like they're legitimately like we are making a definitive first person Jesus game. Hold on. Bring up the gameplay again. Because this is the definitive of Jesus game. Why is this man Caucasian? All right, let's have the conversation. Hmm. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you're not wrong. You know what I mean? You're not wrong. There's a lack of melanin. No truth. I think there's a DLC. If you'd like, at least in Jesus as would probably look right here, right? Look at this. I get to fight demons or something. Look at those rain physics bouncing. Wow. I'm excited for Thursday. I'm really, really looking forward to this one. Other games coming out on April 2nd. You have Temtem swarm PlayStation 5 PC clean up Earth on PC. More cold to send the God to the gods switch PC Xbox Xenonauts to on PC. Modalist factory automation. Is this one for you, Mike PC? Have you heard of that? Don't worry about it. It's not on my list. Yeah. What I wanted to call it for the group was cursed blood on PC. Cursed blood is a brutal one to four player co-op rogue light set in a twisted blood punk samurai world where ruthless apes wield katanas in a revenge fueled rampage against the mafia that desecrated their sacred shrine. Anybody paying attention to this one? Because it's got the words in there. Bless that. I know you like sometimes we got a rogue light. We got co-op. We got Samurais. Yeah. I mean, a lot of those words genuinely do stuff for me. But as I'm looking at the gameplay, it doesn't feel like my kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's the perspective. Yeah. Honestly, a dead nation perspective that I like where I'm like, maybe I wouldn't want to jump into this. I think I would have preferred it were it like a third person sort of action game, especially just because I love the look of, you know, I love that there's an orangutan is one of the classes and another one's just like a chimp and another one's just like an eight. Like, I don't know. I just, I love the idea of these different, you know, breeds or what's what I'm looking for. So yeah, different species. Yeah. I like that they're all kind of different, you know, the different classes or whatever, but it's a top down. That doesn't really do it for me there. Mike, you're going to jump in there with the. You know what? I might put this on my list. I'm going to put it on my wish list right now because we played teenage Newton Ninja Turtles. What was the rogue light on that one? We had a really good time with it. I actually do like the top down stuff. I usually call it twin stick, but yeah, I like, I like that top down. I'm a fan of that. Nice. Symmetric. Oh, after that, you got go, go. Mr. Chickens coming to PC, Xbox and PlayStation five. And then our first super chat off the bench comes from frantic Josh. She says, check out motion rec on switch PlayStation five, April second motion. Rec is a record. Is it a record or because you're recording? Oh, this game motion rec is a, I'm going to say record puzzle action game that uses the power to record and replay motion trails to explore a devastated world. Use motion rec to unravel the mysteries of a world ruled by machines. You can record the trajectory of your movements from walking to jumping. Use stage gimmicks to create and record more complex movements to traverse the world. And yeah, bless puzzle poppy. This one immediately I thought spoke to you. Yeah, no, this one for sure speaks to me. I forget where we first saw this. We've seen this before at some indie showcase thing. And I love one. I love this games art style, right? Going for the very minimal, like eight bit, four bit, like black and white. I'm playing it on Atari. You kind of kind of look to it, but yeah, I love the rewind mechanics. And this is another one that I would call a puzzle platformer in genre. Do you think you're a chase one up? If I find the time, I was trying to figure out because there's another game I played called a leg head way back in the day. And I thought it was maybe the same developer because it looks similar. It is not. But I really, really loved a leg head when that came out in 2021 on Steam. And so I'm sure I'll love this if I gave it a shot, but it just comes down to time and place. Sure. I are also getting a lot Tony Aztec cities on PC and then Logy Art Grimoire and Xbox to round out April 2nd. We jumped to April 3rd. All will fall on PC. Shinobi Art of Vengeance gets its Sega villains stage DLC PC switch Xbox One. If Tim was here, not neglecting his job, his career, his livelihood. He'd talk about that, but he's not. So too bad. A rat's quest, the way back home, Xbox One, PC and switch guns and nuns. The storming hell on PC, which is a hell of a title. Anomaly 404 on PC, Space log, PC, early access, the weeping swan, 10 days of the city's fall, PC. Bad time to be a city or be falling. You got all fall cities will fall. SCP fragmented minds chapter two on PC, early access, waistline, waistland bites on PC, April 6th, Pompeii, the legacy on PC. And then Evo Crio two has been highlighted by someone at this table. Yeah, I highlighted that one. Step into the world of Shoru, an island inhabited by powerful creatures known as Crio. These monsters have existed for millennia, yet their origins remain shrouded in mystery. Will you be the one to uncover the truth? Begin your journey as a new cadet. What am I looking at? What if I told you that this game is just Pokemon? It definitely looks like a Pokemon. Evo Crio one came out a while ago. I played not that much of it whatsoever. I played a little bit of it. And I know a lot of people like didn't recommend it when I was talking about recently like, hey, I'm looking for a Pokemon like game again, that Pokemon itch, right? I need something that's going to scratch that itch. A lot of people are saying Evo Crio. So it's cool to see that the second one's coming through for fans of Pokemon Rom hacks or Pokemon like games. This might be one for you there. I'm coming off of I'm still playing Pokemon Leaf Green. I'm at the elite four right now. So I'm probably not going to jump into this one because there's another Pokemon related thing is coming out. I love the big one. We have the art style. Especially in the battles, the battles look really cool. Have you ever played Temtem? I booted up Temtem. OK, Pokemon like you can play with friends as well. It's more like a little style thing, right? Yeah. Night shippers comes to PC April 6th and then card Coder comes to PC April 6th as well. Then it's April 7th. Everybody not only does Starfield come to PlayStation five, Starfield, Terran Armada and of course the Free Lanes DLC drops on Xbox PlayStation PC, etc. Of course, you already know what Starfield is. They might just hit you with a big yawn right there. No, I mean, I can't wait for Greg to tell me all about this. I'm pretty interested in parks view super chats while we're live right now on YouTube.com slash kind of funny, you know, YouTube.com slash kind of funny games just like you can and says, I just finished the trackers Alliance DLC and can't wait for Free Lanes and Terran Armada. Starfield is amazing and I hope it gets a new influx of players. I think aside from my usual ranting and raving about Starfield, that's going to be the interesting story for us to talk about a lot on games daily is what are the figures going to be? Like we talk about Xbox games coming to PlayStation all the time. Starfield, a divisive one, right? Like this is one we've heard a lot of opinions on. It did not live up to the hype. It underperformed in terms of critical expectation, I think, but has clearly found an audience that's stuck with it. And now to get the most complete best version of the game, knock on wood and theory, it'll be interesting to see if PlayStation people jump in by it. Of course, we have the usual look at the PSN right now. It's at the top of the charts. What's that actually going to transfer over when Matt Piscotella comes out with Serkanadata? I mean, big time developer with Bethesda, right? A Bethesda game that missed PlayStation now coming there. Like you said, with the Game of the Year edition, we'll call it. I think that's a big deal. I'm excited to see the numbers and talk about that with you and also see the content, right? Like what is the new content? Is Greg hyped up about it? You know, it's good if you're excited about it, Greg, because you are so in tune with this game. Yeah. You know what we saw with Bethesda was awesome. I can't wait for it. So I'm very excited to get my hands on it. I'm bummed that I will be on spring break when it launches. But maybe that'll give me more time to play in New York, but probably not. But maybe I'm not, you know, but I'll be talking about it whenever I get the chance to worry about that. Also happening on April 7th, Road to Vostok PC Early Access. People of note switch to PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X. A game I was prepared to go past, but if you want to open up and give me a trailer, Alec Bobko Super Chat and says, people of note on April 7th is one to keep an eye on the next fest demo was awesome. I had seen this bumming around. It's an inapurna one after being shut out of the noteworthy song contest. Cadence realizes that her solo act might not be enough for the judges as she travels across note to the Rock City of Duranas, the AMD Capital. They always give you too much here. It's an RPG where you're singing. Yeah. And playing music. I played the next fest demo for this one. I wasn't honestly, I wasn't blown away by it, but it does have like really neat ideas, specifically the how they feed in like rhythm mechanics and stuff into the turn based battling, right? Like you have different instruments that you're. Crew like that your party is bringing in into the battle. Very much is kind of like what you expect out of JRPG style turn based. Okay. Um, but all themed around music and all themed around like you being part of this band. Um, again, cool ideas. I wasn't like in love with it by the time I finished it, but. Yeah, that's been my thought. I like when I hear the idea on paper, I'm like, that sounds awesome. And every time I've looked at it, I'm like, ah, it's not for me, but I'm interested. I'm glad you don't think it's for you either. Sorry, Alc Bobco hit the bricks. Uh, eco, maybe Echo and the be which lands come into PC, a switch to and switch on April 7th. And then it's narrow in the orange room on PC, then Sigma star saga DX, PlayStation five PC and switch, half shoot them up half RPG blast through an intergalactic genre of mashup. This is one of the ones we had at the mix way forward came in and showed it off. This is on my must play. I'm going to be super excited to get my hands on this one as somebody who likes a good shmup and likes a good RPG, mashing them up in this Game Boy advanced game or whatever and bringing it over here. I'm interested. See what we got here. I liked, I thought the preview previewed well, a little confusing cause they dropped this in so deep. I'm excited to start from the beginning and see if it clicks with me and if I'll stick it out the whole way, but good stuff from way forward. And the sprites are so large when you're walking around the world. Yeah, right. Yeah. Very interesting walk. See if stars comes to iOS and Android. Again, we love to hear peppered in existential platformer comes to Xbox series X, PlayStation four switch. Kulo Niku. Bowl up comes to PC machine child comes to PC. T are 49 comes to switch in signal zone comes to PC. Bless you, Andy. Thank you. You said Kulo and, but it's like the Japanese, but. Kulo is, is, is, but in how would you say this one? Not me. You nailed it, but it just like it caught me off guard. I mean, it may be sneezing. Yeah. It may be sneezing. Yeah. He's a learning ass references. April 8th is a big day because Samson comes out. Samson returns to Tyne, Dalston. Remember this is, I'm still unsure what the full name is cause releases.com. Listen, this is Samson, Colin, a tie, a Tyne, Dalston story. And they had debuted that way, but then now on steam, it just says Samson. Samson returns to that city though, a city that shaped him hard. That's what it says. Where every fight is close and every escape is earned. He owes dangerous people more than he can pay and they're using his sister to force his hand. The clock is ticking. The only way out is through anyone who stands in your way. This of course from the Mad Max video game devs who, so you're getting an open world run, run, fight kind of thing. People wanted to be GTA. They wanted all these different things. Bless. What did you want from it? This is a fun one because I actually got to demo this game. And as we're talking here, I was trying to find my demo notes and I can't find it in my Google Docs, but basically, I don't think I ever even got to talk about it. No, yeah, I never did. Yeah. So basically I got to play like an hour or so and they did a presentation talking a little bit about it and they didn't really like the GTA comparisons. Okay. I think maybe that's just because GTA comes with expectations and they're like, no, no, no, we're not that size. We're a smaller developer trying to put out something that reminds me personally more of like a sleeping dogs. Yeah. Especially with the combat you saw like throwing stuff. Yeah. The combat is very like hand to hand style combat. You are driving around a city doing odd jobs like it's GTA a little bit, but it is an interesting setup because you are playing a Samson. You are repaying a debt to people that you owe. Every day you wake up, you pick up the phone and they're like, you got to pay back this much today. And so your day then ends up being, all right, I'm going to go out. I'm going to do these jobs, make enough money. To pay them back for the day. And that's kind of like the gameplay loop is you're fulfilling this mission so you can make enough money to do this, to do this stuff. A lot of the missions were kind of basic straightforward. One of the ones I remember doing was, hey, go to this location, pick somebody up in the car and be a gateway driver and get away from the police. I did that and that was the end of the mission. Right. There was another one that was basically, hey, go over here and beat up these people. Like very much pointed point B. There was one that was a bit more, hey, go into this location and like fight through this whole location. And that was a little bit more involved and fun. It's one that I'm more, I'm left with more questions about than answers. Even after playing the game, because I think the environment looks good. I think mechanically, I like a beat them up game. It feels fairly simple, but I also think it's neat. There's like natural open world stuff that's happening. Everybody's trying to sell somebody on a drug. Everybody just like real life. Everybody in this game is addicted to drugs. And I'm like, man, can we get some more dynamic stuff happening with these NPCs? You understand it's a dark world. It is a gritty world. It is a dark, gritty world. But I like that somebody is trying to make this type of game. I miss true crime. I miss sleeping dogs. I miss the era where many developers are trying to make crime games. Maybe it's just the car, but I get it paying because of driver from it. Right. Look at that. I'm like, damn, that looks like a driver and I'm right there with you. I'm like, I really enjoyed playing those double A games back in the day. Give me some more. Let's see what Samson's got. Yeah. So April if, you know, not that far away. He never reminds me of Mcgruber. Yeah. Yeah. He's definitely got the very generic look to go on. Yeah. I know there are more previews out there for people to check out, but I'm, I'm so fascinated by how the world receives this one. Yeah. Because I do think it could be like a sleeper little situation. Something we enjoy, maybe. Yeah. Samson XP super chat and says, I will be playing this in honor of me. Great. They got you. Also on April 8th is the occultist PlayStation five Xbox series X and PC. And then it's Pokemon champions switch and switch to, of course, later on in mobile. This is the one where everyone will battle. All you do is battle. It's free to play. You get in there. They got additions. We don't know how much anything costs, but you can battle. Kevo writes in and says, I'm excited for Pokemon champions, but still no home update for ZA and fire red leaf green. Bless. This is another preview we sent you off to the great white north of Seattle. Yes. And I came back really, really excited to play more. I can't wait for this one. Of course, go check out the preview with Jake Decker, who's our Pokemon professor. Professor Jake. But yeah, it's everything that you mentioned, Greg, right? Is it is a Pokemon game more focused around battling? You have a one recruit a day that you can do where you go in and recruit Pokemon for free. But if you spend your VP, which are victory points that you earn in the game, you can recruit Pokemon and keep them. The free ones that you recruit are only recruited for a limited time, but you are building a Pokemon team. You are spending VP to kind of like build their stats and their move set. And then you're going into ranked and unranked modes. Very straightforward. I compared it to magic arena. Mike, you've played magic arena. I think it's magic arena, but for Pokemon, which appeals to me in this release days for the switch version specifically, I can't wait for the mobile version. That's the version that I actually really want. So I can play it on the treadmill. You put your switch on the treadmill. I'm not trying to bring my switch to the gym. Okay. This is a lot. How many different arenas we talking? It was one of my questions. I was asking them if we could like switch arenas and stuff. And they said there's multiple arenas, but it's like my the vibe I get is that it's based on the mode you're playing because there's a tutorial in the game and like the tutorial is in a different arena than ranked. And those are like really the only two modes that I got to play. But I asked them and they're like, yeah, there's multiple, but it didn't. I didn't get the vibe that you're picking. Gotcha. You can pick music though, which I like. You can one of some of the things that you can unlock in the game with your VP, your victory points, custom throw animations for your Pokeball. Got to have victory poses. I don't know. And I even forget. Yeah, we'll see more when the game comes out. But there's that there's a music I played with the Pokemon music from like red and blue, but in the overview trailer, they showed off more songs, outfits for your trainers, things like that. What was the microtransactions on this? There are some, but we don't we don't know. Because it's going to produce money. Oh, my God. It's going to be the card game all over again. Yes, this is going to be getting a mobile device for you. I mean, let's just say it mics in for $20. Yeah, if not more. Twenty dollars. Definitely more. You boot it up. Twenty dollars when you boot it up. I'm pumped for this game. Blast, right? Like Pokemon Stadium was so special to me back at the end of the game of like, we're just fighting here. Yeah, there's a bunch of mini games that we all love to lick a tongue mini game. But like the idea of going to the stadium and battling, picking your six versus my six, I'm very. My prediction is that for us, that kind of funny, this up ends up being our next Pokemon T.C. pocket where we all get really upset with it for a few weeks. And then I'm playing it still two years later. Yeah, exactly. I'm going after ranked battles when this drops. I'm very excited. Oh, you're going to like shoot to the top early and make a fun one out of that. This is how we get a kind of funny Pokemon tournament to happen. Yeah, where we take, where we all have our core teams, where we bring our teams together and we'd like face off against each other. And I'm excited for it. We won't have to wait long. April 8th again for Pokemon champions. You can look for coverage here. I'm assuming a party mode and et cetera. Also on April 8th, chain staff comes to PC, switch Xbox one. Incantation comes to switch Xbox series X and PlayStation five. And the house of Hikma comes to PC. We move our eyes to April 9th. Dark switch comes to PC. Power wash simulator to adventure time pack comes to PC, PlayStation five, Xbox series X and then beyond words comes to PC, switch Xbox series X. This is what I've been looking at from the creators of golden eye and time splitters comes beyond words, the genre defying fusion of rogue like strategy and word crafting. Build powerful combos, unlock upgrades and master challenge where victory is spelled one letter at a time. So we're getting into a rogue like scrabble. And I'm like, huh, I'm interested enough to check that out. There's this reminds me, there's another game. There's a YouTube channel called Game Maker's Toolkit. The creator of that channel made a game that is very much like this. Not as scrabbly, but it is a word based rogue like game. I'm gonna find it, but it's it's a really good one. That actually has me excited for this as well. But also, why do we, why did they lead with from the creators of golden eye and time splitters? Tell us about this. It's funny. Those are big names. Because I remember what was the rhythm game that we all fucked with from Xbox a couple of years ago. I was high five rush high five rush. You know, it's like when they started off with like the horror games that they made and then jump into that. Yeah. The game within the game, I'm thinking made by Mark Brown is called word play. Also, yeah, very fun. If you're looking for one right now, I can't wait till April 9th. Can't wait. April 9th also sees high above come to PC, restore your island come to PC. A planet full of cats come to PC. Wrath, Aeon of ruin VR, brutal edition, PlayStation five, PC, PSVR two, Arcadia fallen to PC switch and then luke world, PC early access. We jump to April 10th. Tiny bookshop comes to PlayStation five, soul mask, crystal fall and soul sesto come to PC and then skull horde comes to PC. This is another one I'm calling out that I've seen and enjoyed what I saw. Skull horde is an auto battler dungeon crawler where you play as a flying skull necromancer, find powerful loot and create overpowered builds. Some of the horde of skeletons in battle in a battle of bone versus flesh. Got that vampire survivors vibe to it, which I'm all about. I love the idea of exploring the dungeon, unlocking the new card, you know, getting more powerful, come back with whatever I've gotten. It seems like a fun one, Mike. I don't want to have on the rock ally ready to go. Yeah, no doubt. Build up your hoard and go out there and kill some stuff. I'm looking forward to it. I hope you know that looks pretty neat. Yeah. Beauty store, beauty store simulator comes to PC as well, Mike. I don't know if you're in that's a new one. I love that. You know, I'm going to do drain simulator this. Oh, great. Excited for you. Great. And then your final game there of let me see if there's any shadows. Nope. Not one shadow in the game. No, we don't need shadows. No, we're about it. We don't have too much time. Yeah. Final game of April 10th is Tomahashica Xbox series X, which in PlayStation five, Tomahashica is a fast paced arcade style corridor shooter with hand drawn animations, precision sound effects and upbeat background music. Another one I put on their visual style in there. And then of course, I know how much you guys like, you know, white. Yeah, this looks like this. I heard my eyes. Yeah. I feel like someone checked this out. Maybe it was Roger. Someone called this game out a couple of months ago and we brought it up. And yeah, it immediately sparks like, oh, this is this is sparking some things in my brain right now that I fuck with. So I didn't realize it was coming out this year. I can barely watch this. But once you get into the flow state of it, it's like a little full state of mind. Oh, it's a great logo there. Like it. I like the style overall. Again, not a game I would probably play, but it reminds me going on here that I like a lot. It looks like I'm on a Japanese TV show. Which one? Oh, no, you know what I mean? Like one of the game shows they put out there, like the way the flashing stuff up there and all that stuff. I like the way the world kind of evolves. Everything's kind of on this weird sort of like axis rotated. Yeah, it's really neat. I do like the art style, but I just worry that I'm going to get over simulated. But maybe it's one of those like it's hard to watch, but once you're actually playing it, it's kind of fine. Yeah. We moved to April 14th. Finally replaced has come to the Xbox series platform Xbox one and PC exposed the sinister secrets of Phoenix Corporation as reach in AI trapped in a human body, setting an alternative. I'm sorry, an alternate 1980s America scarred by nuclear catastrophe. Navigate a dark cyberpunk thriller in this narrative driven 2.5d platformer blending cinematic exploration with fluid free flow action. This is one that we've all I think marveled at some point about the art style of when I got to play it at Xbox at GDC this year. I was like, fuck, I didn't realize it. I it says free flow action there. I didn't realize they were just using Batman combat in this 2.5. D platformer. I fucking loved what I played. I want to get into this world. I want to get into this story. Am I alone in that, Andy? No, you're not, Greg. I mean, this is one that we've all been looking forward to for quite some time. Great style. Like it is so soft of the visuals are amazing. Great sort of depth of field, but it's got this really kind of neat story happening with this year, this character with an AI that's kind of like controlling the character. Like, I don't know. It's just got like a lot of this weird sort of intrigue and you're trying to figure out the mysteries of this world and why you're here and who sent you here. And I don't know. It seems really, really neat. Yeah. This is like I think it's going to be a great story. That's my hope for it. What I wasn't expecting to enjoy the combat slash exploration platform as much as I did the thing. Yeah, this one's really cool. I it's another one I'll put in that puzzle platform. I can't put like I would add the cinematic tag to it for the marketing as well. Just in the sense of like so much of it strength is in the presentation. But as I'm moving from point A to point B, it reminded me of playing inside. Right. Like even the stealth sections were very inside as far as like, oh, hide behind this thing as you see the lights coming from the foreground or from the background into the foreground combat. I wasn't super sold on even though like it is that Batman Arkham. But I think I prefer that in combat in 3D space. Yeah, because I like to hop in around and do all that stuff. But I like a lot of what this game has going on. So I'm looking forward to it. And I especially love whenever you are doing your investigation and whenever you bring up your pause menu, it's like on your watch. So it's all like that. Walkman. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sort of like this Walkman device and it's all diagetic menu. So it just kind of like zooms into your hand and it just got like the perfect sort of style. Very if someone's like, Greg, you were so excited about replace. You skipped an entire day. Oh, did I? Yeah. Oh, I did. OK, hold on. Let's finish off April 14th and go back to April 13th. April 13th was cursed. Well, I guess we only did April one. We'll get April 13th. April 13th has before I go switch Xbox Series X and PlayStation five. I didn't highlight it, but that sounds like somebody's going to die. It sounds like my kind of game. Gunboat God comes to PC Xbox Series X and PlayStation five. Become the all powerful gunboat God in this fluid shoot them up. Carve. Yeah. Carve the waves as you stylishly fight hordes of monsters in hundreds of quick fire missions, transform your gunboat and upgrade your weapons, skills and abilities to take on the giant challenging multi-stage boss. This one was cool. We did this one at the mix last year. I was going to say a while back. Yeah, it was a cool one. I'm a great style, great visual flair to it. And it had a momentum and a movement and that's sort of like I could do that better. I could do that better if I do the run again, sort of feel to it. I enjoyed it. Are you looking are you going to play here on the 13th? If it's before it's before replace. I'm going to check it out. Yeah. Okay. By one day. It's got the pepper grinder look to it. Yeah, I thought to go underground. Yeah, that looks cool. Okay. And then Ocean ears comes to PC early access on the 13th as well. Even though I've teased you with April 14th and replaced, let me tease you with the kind of funny membership.

Uh, we move to April 14th, as I said, replaced already on there. Also on there, Hades too, coming over to PlayStation five, Xbox series X after a stint on PC and switch. And then Dosa divas. One last meal comes to Xbox series X switch in PlayStation five. Of course, this is from our friends over at outer loop games, battling evil fast food empire in this spicy narrative turn based RPG. Two sisters and their upgradeable spirit, mech, cook, delicious meals, fight corpos, build up your reputation with local communities and reconcile with loved ones. Of course, again, outer loop games, making a whole bunch of different stuff. I always think of Falcon age. Most recently would be thirsty suitors. This is Eka and his team always giving very interesting, very quick games that are always somewhat beautiful. I love the arts twisted. So like it's always something special with them. And so I know very little about, I picked up the controller, but it was at a GDC for Xbox, but it was one of those of like, I wasn't even worth it. Cause I look at it and already it's smacks of thirsty suitors in like the way it's up there. Uncle Hinty pops back up. So they're kind of, I think building in the same universe. And it's like, no, I'm in like, this is a game I'm going to want to play because I love what they do in the kind of games they make. So I'm interested to get into it, but it's an interesting one. I haven't heard a lot of not buzzes in the right word, but just, I feel like thirsty suitors had more people talking about it ahead of time than dosa divas does. So I'll be sure to see how this one hits when it gets out there. Was it the skateboarding? It might have been over the top. I think it might have been also just that, you know, easier concept of like, you know, you would come back to town and you basically you're battling your evil exes, right? So it was kind of Scott Pilgrim, right? But now this is a different deal with mechs and we're cooking food and doing this stuff, but I'm stoked to see what it's all about. Last flag comes to PC. This is one Mike's excited about. Hide your flag, find the enemy flag, run it back, then defend for a minute to win it. Welcome to last flag, a fast pace five E five shooter with show stopping contestants set in a televised competition where strategy, teamwork and chaos blend in the ultimate game of capture the flag. Mike, tell me why you're stoked. I love capture the flag. Yeah. Game mode, just point blank period. It's my favorite, right? And I've had my eyes on this for quite some time. They've had some betas and some alpha testing. I've never jumped into it. I've been waiting for the full release and then ready to rock and roll. And yeah, just a fun shooter that I'm always looking forward to. I always want to find those Gotham city imposters that are one that jump out. The deceive inks of the world. If you remember that one, bless. I really liked that game a lot. So I forget. Yeah. Bless did not remember that one. I thought he wouldn't have. Even was a really fun. I think blessing was really like, no, we've had this conversation. I remember so cool. I like it. I was like, maybe use it as an example of something. I was like, to see social deduction, man. Social deduction. You never heard of great art style. Yeah. And so, yeah, this is one of those of like, this is not my list of like, hey, can I get the coup together for a night to play this? I think we'll have a fun evening of gaming and then we'll go. Yeah. Yeah. One that's backed by somebody interesting. I'm thinking of a different one. That's great. My interesting. What do you mean? Oh, it must. Matthew McConaughey won or one of them. Like, no, not Matthew McConaughey. All right. All right. No, that's exodus. I'm thinking. All right. I'm going to look it up. OK, because it's either this or a different game. No, you're right. Oh, it's a shut up. Don't don't look at that. Don't look at that. Nobody like that. Nobody got the answer. Yeah, it is imagine dragon. Yes. Yes. Imagine dragon. Yes. What? Yeah. What do you mean by that? Like the guy just gave a bunch of money. The singer. Yeah, the singer is like really. He loves games. He's he's he's loved games. And I think like is part of the team or a producer or something like that. Yeah. OK. Yeah, Dan Reynolds. Imagine. Shout out to Dan. Yeah. Video game. Oh, yeah. Turn that money around. Put it in your money and give it to someone to help them create some. What do you mean by that? What do you think about that? We're going to run out April 14th here. Regions of ruin. Runegate comes to PC. We got to go. Comes to PC. Destiny 2's Guardian Games. 2026 is the end event date. Moses and Plato last train to Clawville comes to PC and Alaska. Gold fever comes to PC. We jump over to April 15th. Mongels Star Drive comes to PC iOS and Android. Then cleaning up comes to Switch to Switch PlayStation 4. It's a mic game turned huge messes into sparkling spaces. Feel the satisfaction of restoring them to order with your superpowered cleaning tools, the quick, cozy joy of tidying up. Yeah, this one caught my eye because of the art style here, giving very fun cartoony indie like to a tee in some other games that we've seen where it's like, oh, it just jumps off the screen and the idea of, yeah, we're doing more power wash simulator. Hey, I'm just sucking up everything in the in the world to clean it all up. It's always a fun one. I think people might find this and go, hey, I really enjoyed this game. Yeah, that looks cute. I like that. In a similar vein, art style made me highlight this one for y'all. Spaceman Memories coming to PC. Space Space Man Memories is a retro JRPG built by one person who loves old stories set in a retro futuristic Japan haunted by ancient folklore. Play is Ichiro, I'm sorry, Ichiro 94, an astronaut who wakes from hypersleep to piece together the remnants of a forgotten past full of wonder, nostalgia and strange spirits. Here's what I was. I was getting ready to like hate a little bit because when you said our style, I was like, I bet you this is going to be HD 2D because I feel like everybody's doing HD 2D now that I'm looking at it, even though it is kind of HD 2D, this art style does rock. I love looking at this. Yeah, I had not heard of this one till I was assembling the run of show today. And I put this on my wishlist right away. This looks really cool. This is what I want to check out for you. I will say, though, that the aforementioned Ichiro 94, the boy in the art, in the cover art, I think looks a lot cooler. It's he looks more like that sort of 80s style anime. But in here, in here, he doesn't. Well, that doesn't look like him, you know, like the car, the art on the top, right, doesn't look like the boy in the. Yeah, but that's classic. You open up your and the car ride home looking at your instruction manual. Yeah, I don't look nothing like what you're going to get. But I hear you. You're not. Yeah. Looks like Doom guy, like just Doom guy in a purple suit. You know, sure. I want to check that one out. I kind of rising a Paper Mario a little bit. Like a HD 2D mix of Paper Mario. Yeah, but like art style influences from like Eastward and Eastward. So beautiful. Yeah. Eastward such such a good game. April 15th also has Valorborn, PC Early Access, Calamity Angels, special delivery on PC and Don't Lose Agra, One PC Early Access. We jump to April 16th. It's headlighted on this list by Mouse PI for hire. Everything, all the Xboxes, PlayStation five. I have another PlayStation five for some reason switch. I think it's just everywhere. Join private investigator, Jack Pepper, on a guns blazing jazz fueled adventure in Mouse PI for hire. Mouse combines the charm of hand drawn rubber hose animation inspired by the classic cartoons of the 1930s with the adrenaline and action of an explosive first person shooter. Mouse PI for hire is one we've talked about for a long time from its. Wow, that was an amazing first impression to is there anything really under the hood with this game to Xbox is giving it how long of a direct to man, that was a great direct to then playing it. And I am so stoked for this after playing the preview. And I know opinions are varied, but for me, it was like, oh, I don't want a sweaty shooter. I'm not a shooter guy. I'm not even a doom guy in playing this and the humor that was in it and the upgrades that were in the art that was in it. I was like, damn, I can't wait to play this final game. I love they say you're not a doom guy as they showed like the hell guys in so that look exactly like doom that I've not seen from this trailer before. Is the new trailer. This is the old trailer. This is the one with the March date on it. But later the month, this is like the most it's looked like doomed to me. But yeah, I mean, this is one that I can't wait to see how people take to it. Because you said it all right. Art style is really hitting the gameplay. It feels a lot more straightforward, classic first person shooter than I was expecting to shooter, which is like more exciting. Honestly, like I feel like it's become more few and far between that we see that type of game. And so really looking forward to it. But I do think the boss fights are a lot more inspired and a lot more inspired by more modern first person boss fights. I really enjoyed the sort of the requirement for pattern recognition and jumping over those waves and then staying behind this when that beam happens. It's there. There are a lot more intricate than I was than I was expecting. And that makes me a lot more excited for the game. Do you have a estimate of how long this is going to be? No, I don't think we have that. I don't think we have it. How much short? Yeah, there's a part of me that's like, I just want the game to be great. So it doesn't matter how long the length is. But I do look at this game and I'm like, I am excited for this. I would prefer this to be on the shorter side. I could have sworn that they said like 15 to 25 or something depending on how completionist you want to be. I couldn't Google. I'm going to Google from playing the demo. I'm like, I hope it's like seven. I'm having a good time with this. I don't want to live in this, you know, I mean, you know, the AI scrape, if I can trust that as 12 to 20, I'm trying to figure out if there's anybody confirming anywhere. Yeah, I. Maybe maybe I'm thinking about an interview that I heard at one point, but this may have been before. Yes, they're pulling it from the IGN thing. It looks like stories roughly 12 hours for a standard play through according to this. Hmm. OK, that's terrible. Yeah, that's great. Cthulhu, the Cosmic Abyss also comes on the April 16th PlayStation 5 Xbox Series XPC Tomodachi Life Living the Dream comes to switch to and switch a super chat from Chrono Rig says the first week of Tomodachi is going to be unhinged. Hell yeah. Yes, it will. I still cannot yell at Nintendo enough for turning off the ability to easily share your clips and screenshots from this. I mean, you know what they did, of course, I know why they did, but like it's just not going to stop it. Is it? I mean, it's going to. Oh, sure. Again, I think if you did, we did a whole preview on this. So much Charlie Kirk meat. Like I mean so much Jesus Christ. We've done a preview on this last week, right? Go watch it. Me and Roger have put time in with it. Of course, now there is a demo out where you can go make it. I think it's three me's and get in there. If you're not familiar, think of, you know, you're making your me's like in the old days on your wee, but then you toss them into a world and it's a little bit animal crossing. It's a little bit Sims. It's a little bit Sim City. There's a million things going on there, but it's putting them into ridiculous situations, giving them lingo, giving them a relationship, just watching the whole thing evolve as you watch this little island grow and become more and more unhinged as Corona rig says it. My complaint, of course, yes, is that, you know, Nintendo said, OK, cool. You can do all this and you can do your screenshots and you can do your videos, but you can't share them to your smartphone or directly to the web. So you need to get that memory card to put it in there. They're trying to make it hard. So yes, the people who want to make Hitler and Jesus and Rush Limbaugh live on an island together can't share that, but the people who want to make that kind of content are going to hook it up to OBS and make that kind of content and put it out. You're really just stopping people from being like, look, it's grandma. It's my Twitch channel when this comes out. I put in a link into assets and this is for Barrett and all the rest of the Breaking Bad Lovers out there. Because this post just had me dying. And I have been so close to streaming the demo, but I'm like, I'm going to wait because this I'm really stoked to like be get really creative with this. For Rodney Lester, it's just a great meme of like three different me's created a mic, Irmintraut, Lalo Salamanca and Gustavo Fring. The goats. Yeah, it's so funny. It's going to be awesome when this drops and we get really cool, goofy ass content. Yeah, I kid you not, like I this is a game I've been wanting to play for like over 10 years, because I remember when the first Tomodachi Life came out, it came out on 3DS. I never owned a 3DS, but I remember looking at him being like, this looks fucking amazing. Like this looks hilarious. And so when they announced this new one, I was like, hell, yeah, now's my time to shine and playing the demo. I'm like, oh man, I'm this is the game I'm most excited for. On April 16th. Sorry, sorry, Mouse. Also on April 16th is Gekko Gods, PC Switch PlayStation 5, Explorer Forgotten Land and Gekko Gods, a puzzle adventure built for curiosity. Climb walls, solve ancient puzzles and uncover a lost civilization in a world full of hidden paths, quiet secrets and natural wonder. Yeah, highlighted this one real quick, because this is another one that showed up at a GDC, the Mixed Stream, maybe like two or three years ago. It was like about three. I think it was the first one that we did six years ago. I got to play it and like this game was really fun, right? Like, as you can see from the video, and as Greg read, you're playing as a little Gekko when you're exploring and crawling all over. And like, you know, it's fun. I it's fun playing as a little guy sometimes. You know, it's fun. It's like scurrying around, climbing walls and all that stuff. And you're getting all that out of this game. And I love the art style of it as well. Oh, after that, you're getting Opus, Crimson Peak, Prison Peak. God damn it's the Opus got me because it's all cap. Opus, Prison Peak, Switch, PC, Switch 2, Aribon, Shadow Legacy, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Atomic Heart, Blood on Crystal, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and then Underpar Golf Architect, PC, Switch 2, Xbox Series X. It's a mic game. Step into the shoes of a golf architect as you build and manage your own golfing paradise, sharpen your strategy by designing incredible courses to challenge the most demanding golfers and watch your club flourish as you attract VIP players higher quickly, higher quirky staff and hold prestigious tournaments. Wasper and get ready. This is just one of those. Can I get a big hail? Yeah. Yeah. I'm all about this. Right. I love Planet Coaster. I love what Two Point has done with Campus Museum and Hospital. We don't get the fun golf course simulators anymore, right? Where it's like, hey, I would like to build a golf course. I would like to run this. I've had plenty. Hey, Frontier, you're killing it with Planet Coaster. We've done Zoo Tycoon. I've done Jurassic Park. Oh, man, Evolution 3 is great. Let's have a little fun. Let's build a golf course, please. And so, yeah, I'm really excited about this because, yeah, this is the dream, right? I get to design my own Michael Jordan S course and have to invite all my friends to it. Yeah, Jupiter, Florida. You're also on April 16th, getting Smash It Wild, tactical volleyball roguelite PC. You open that up. I'll keep going. Open that up. City Transport Simulator 2026 PC Xbox Series X PlayStation 5. Shanty Town on PC. Hello Kitty Island Adventure City Town iOS PC Switch. Syntopia on PC. Lucky Tower Ultimate Switching PC. ZPF Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC via amusement. Steam VR, MediQuest 3 and fun with Ragnarles Plus PC. What's your read here so far? It's Smash It Wild, tactical volleyball. There's a lot going on in this trailer, but I. What's funny is like, legit, as we're finishing up, talking about the golf game, I hadn't thought of like, man, I wish we got more volleyball games. So like, I'm looking at it right now and I'm like, this might be speaking to me a little bit. OK, everybody. There's a lot going on like with the menus, though. Yeah, well, it's roguelite, right? So I mean, you got to get your you got to make your. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, get your deck. Yeah, got to build it. Upgrade your team. Everybody has their own ability. It looks like. I'm going to be all. Oh, you can give that character heavy gauntlets. And I might work better for them because they already have a harder serve or whatever. Oh, man. Why is everybody like a furry? Yeah. You know what? You know what? That's why it's dope. April 17th. It happens. Pragmata. No, Pragmata. Pragmata comes to switch to PC PlayStation five. It's Capcom's newest IP, Pragmata, an all new science fiction action adventure with its own unique hacking twist. It's in the near future. The protagonists, Hugh and the Android companion, Diana, must work together as they make their way through the Cold Lunar Research Station. We're all excited about it. And so is a vermin. Dex, who's super chats and says, I'm so excited for Pragmata. Pragmata, I think the game is going to be special. I hope it is, Andy. I I don't know if it will be, but I think we're all going to like it. I think I think we're all going to enjoy it. And my prediction for Pragmata is that it's going to it's going to lend a lot of just arguments into the into the discourse because I don't think the story will deliver what's over, but we'll enjoy the gameplay and everybody will go, well, then why'd you all hate Crimson Desert? That, you know, for not having a story. But I feel like this may be one of those games that may like, you know, get people rowdy or whatever, because I don't really trust that this story will deliver a whole lot. I think there'll be some hype moments, but I don't really expect amazing writing or anything that I've based on what I've experienced so far. But the gameplay is awesome. And I want to play it immediately. I think it was a lot of fun when we checked it out. 100 percent. Yeah, I'm right there with you in terms of I enjoy playing it. I'm not expecting you to be so in rapture. I hear some insider info. Please tell us. Ran into somebody in the last few weeks who would be in the know about this game and was talking about it. And I was like, yeah, dude, like the demos are cool or whatever. And he's like, dude, we've not shown shit. Like what we showed in the demo is not indicative of like all the shit that's in this game. And I was like, oh, that's what I want to hear. Interesting. And so that got me kind of hype. OK, Diana. Have more. Hold on. Yeah. Is it a Mega Man game? Hold on. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. It's fucking better. They tweeted out some Mega Man bullshit the other day. It's like, stop. Stop, Pregnada. Yeah. With a stop and Pregnada. It very much feels like, though, yeah, they're playing their cars close to their chest with this one a little bit. Hold on. Oh, yeah, I really enjoyed the active hacking. I didn't think I would like that at all. And playing on PC, dragging the mouse at the same time was like really, really fun. And it's super optimized on PC. Yeah, it feels real good. Also on April 17th, the decolate decorations switch PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X, slay all bosses idle on PC, and then nip on Marathon 2, die Joe Boo, PC Early Access. April 20th, 420. Jay and Silent Bob, Chronic Blunt Punch comes to Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4. Rune Haven comes to PC. Townsfolk comes to PC. April 21st, Vampire Crawlers comes to Xbox One, switch to PlayStation 4. Deal world ending combos and blitz through infested dungeons. Vampire Crawlers, the Turbo Wild Card from Vampire Survivors, is a casual turn based deck builder with rogue-light elements. Master the Turbo turn with your own hand of cards. Dude, I love the demo of this. And I totally don't disagree with Blessing when I don't think it's the most visually appealing game at all. Like, I look at it, it's kind of ugly in some spots. Vampires, I have always had. Yeah, yeah, they're staying in that vein. There's always a different, like, it feels like they're pulling from six different art styles at some points. But once I started seeing the Matrix and getting certain cards with crazy amounts of, you know, getting a bunch of cards that improve your power every time you use them, so then every next subsequent attack is even more powerful, I thought it was really, really fun. And I'm really looking forward to how they've evolved it since the Steam Next Fest demo with all the feedback that they've been taking in. Yeah, this is a team that has earned my trust. Honkall, what's up? I'm in, right? You showed me that you all got the formula and you did something fun. I tried the Steam Next Fest demo. I enjoyed it. I'm all on board for this. This is going to be a good time. Me too, looking forward to this one, of course. Also on April 21st, stage mythology retold of City Mirror, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Albion Online, Xbox Series X, Rising Lords, The Pilgrim War on PC, Phasmophobia, Easter, Holiday, Event, Ends, The End of the Sun, PlayStation 5, Below the Crown, PC. April 22nd, Tides of Tomorrow comes to Xbox Series X, PC, PlayStation 5. From the makers of Road 96 comes a groundbreaking narrative adventure. Your choices shape the story for other players. Following your friends' footsteps, face the consequences of their actions and choose the fate in this plastic punk world. Yeah, I highlighted this one because right off the bat, the art style caught my eye with a sunset overdrive, kind of look and color. But then the gameplay moved in towards a bio shock. The loop one, yeah, the immersive death loop, death loop vibe where it's like, I might want to bring this to the attention of the team because it does seem interesting. And I really liked the idea of tying in the multiplayer and quotes idea of like, hey, Andy's Run did this. They're showing me kind of like where Andy went and like I can either follow him or go somewhere else. It reminded me of that Indiana Jones Fall Guys' S game where we were running and you would follow everybody's ghost. I really liked this on an immersive sim. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about is right. And so I think this could be a really interesting idea. I, death loop comes to my mind of like, oh, I'd love to see what Blessing and Barrett chose and how I deviated off their path. So I followed them and I can come into work the next day and be like, yo, that was a crazy idea you did there. Really didn't pay off for me. I am, that's the one. I am shocked that this is coming out like right now. Cause I remember seeing this at one. We reacted to this. Yeah, we reacted to the trailer and I remember doing the thing where I read the press release and I was like, that sounds super ambitious. I hope they landed. The fact that it's here and I haven't heard about it. Like I haven't heard people talking about it. I did a stream for this one. And I remember giving impressions when it was another game with Tide in the title during a showcase. And I was like, oh yeah. And I talked about it and they were like, no, that's a different Tide's game. But it is an interesting one where I'm, I don't know how many people are going to flock to it. Cause you mentioned, definitely we mentioned like Bioshock or some of these other games, but the gameplay reminds me of like almost like more leaning toward life is strange with some of these choices. And then like more like stealthy stuff, right? As far as like, you know, being like, okay, do I go left? Do I go right here? And you are following in the footsteps of people that have, that have come before you. It's a really unique. It's a cool idea. It's a really cool idea, really unique concept that I think is going to be hard for them to pull off in the final thing, but I'm looking forward to seeing like, can they do it? Can they do it? How do they go about it? And then I'm also curious to see like, is the story going to hit? Cause it was nothing for my demo time where I was like, oh yeah, I'm invested in the story. It's more so like, I'm invested in it to see what other people before me did in the story. Now I will highlight a road 96. I know me and Greg played this a long time ago on. That was a game that caught my eye and actually enjoyed playing with Greg and playing a little bit more. I thought that was cool with the decision making, the resetting of like, hey, you failed, do it again. And now kind of go out and differently. I thought that was really good. So this is kind of a team of like, I'd like to try their next thing, see what they got. Also on April 22nd is masters of Albion. That's the Peter Molyneux God game, not to be confused with Albion online, which is happening on Xbox Series X the week, the day before. Then clockwork, Ambrosia comes at PC. April 23rd, outbound on PC, switch to Xbox Series X. Kingdoms return time eating fruit in the ancient monster. PlayStation five, Xbox Series X, switch to then kiln from our friends at double fine PC Xbox PlayStation five. An online multiplayer pottery brawler, pottery party brawler from double fine productions. Grab your friends to assemble a team of colorful spirits, then sculpt ceramic battle armor on the pottery wheel. The size and shape of your pots determine their play style and abilities work together to douse the enemies kiln. You guys played this at GDC? Yeah, day of the devs. I played this at day of the devs and completely changed my tune on this one. I had a really good time. I think there's a lot to highlight here, but when we talk about the pottery party brawler escovit all of the fun on that side of it, it was fun. It was an enjoyable time with me and the kiddos of all the double fine families playing together, laughing. Like you were set with four v four on two different sides and you kind of meet in the middle of the battle over a large pot of water, which then you'll suck up the water and then run to the enemy team side to put out their kiln, right? And I thought it was really fun of I would go back on defense, kind of stop everybody from putting water on our side while the other ones were jumping over there. You have three or four different build sizes, small, medium, large, that kind of all do different moves, have all different special moves. So you have this fun one, but I think the icing on all of this and like the cherry on top is the pottery creator, right? That is so much fun to make your own pots, paint them however you want, add decorations on them, that just kind of takes it a little bit to the next level of making it a fun experience, but it's got the good bones to it. Were you the moosh? No, I let the kiddos lead me. Wow, okay. So yeah, we had a lot of fun. They were giggling in the headsets, yelling at me to go play defense, follow them over here. So yeah, I let them lead. I think this will be a fun party game for families and anyone out there to give a try and enjoy. But I think they're gonna, I think we're gonna see a lot of people go crazy on making their own pots. That's my thing is I played it as well. And like I wasn't crazy about the multiplayer aspect, but I think the pottery building is going to go viral. I think that's something I was going to be like hot in the streets, cause I was very impressed with how easy it was and how much creativity I felt like I could have as I was sculpting things, adding little charms, painting things, dipping it in the paint and bringing it back out. Is it, yeah, like, is there a good tactile feel to it? Like is it one of those where you're like, man, I wish the dual sense was the, you know, when it comes to the vibrations of everything, like I wonder just how, you know, I mean, if you guys say that it felt really good, that's awesome. Cause I love very malleable. You felt, you feel in control. Like how visually it was stimulating. Oh, you switched the pinch and you could see it really pinched the edges of it. You get that little ASMR kind of like. The 90 edge and like you're really putting an edge on it. I thought that was really, really done. I should have taken a picture of my pot. It was good. They did a good job on that. But yeah, it reminds me of a lot of other multiplayer games we've played before. I'm trying to think of the one that Ninja Theory did before. Oh my God. Hellblade bleeding edge. Like I could probably name a ton of like four before arena battlers that are like just like this, right? That you've played and you're like, yeah, we had a fun afternoon playing that, right? Like that's what this is. We'll see what that means for double fun as Xbox continues to figure it all out. April 23rd also sees dragon is dead switch, PlayStation five, Xbox series X, sun and strike five, Xbox series X, PC, PlayStation five, Rumbrol, PlayStation five, PC, shapes to PC, Drova for second can, Android iOS, food truck chef, full course edition, PC and switch, Kumi Tante, old school slaughter on PC, flat out for total insanity VR, PC, early access. April 24th gets little nightmares VR altered echoes, PC, PlayStation VR two and PlayStation five and project Vesperi on PC. April 27th, my birthday gets Moomin troll, winter's warmth, switching PC and Mahu arms, PC. Then we come to April 28th. Atheon, how am I saying the Atheon? Atheon, Xbox series X, PC and PlayStation five, hunted on a frozen planet astronaut Arnea, must brave rugged landscapes and shifting realities to rescue her wounded partner Thomas. This action pack sci-fi adventure blends exploration, traversal, intense, stealth gameplay. This of course don't nods. Oh, I previewed this. I was given a preview code and I thought it felt real bad. Like, and this was about- No nods you're gonna get. This is about maybe two or three months ago. But yeah, the hands on the sticks, climbing around, I think visually it was really pretty, but it has that weird thing that a lot of indie developers and double A developers are kind of running into. And I think it's more and more of an issue is that the art style is really, really nice. Like it's obviously super high fidelity, the characters look good, but if you don't have the animation prowess to really match up to that, then you have that immediate disconnect of like, these characters look awesome, but they're moving in a really kind of janky, low-fi way. And you kind of wish in some moments that maybe the art style was less realistic so that it could kind of match up and make your brain make that connection a little bit better. But yeah, movement wise, I thought it felt pretty bad and kind of immediately put it down and was not super stoked to get back to it. But I hope there have been improvements since then. Maybe that was just a super early build. I know it was, but I'm not super encouraged after my preview with it. That's a shame. We're going to space, a lot of space games. Yeah. This Matthew McConaughey, you got the expanse. Whatever happened with our favorite horror team, Greg's director. Directive 8020, already came out. No, it's coming out soon. Yeah, they got a new release. They just released it yesterday, actually. Yeah, it's coming out in a couple months. From there, we move on to Diablo 4, Lord of Hatred, the next big expansion, PlayStation 5, Xbox, of course, PC. I'll be back for it. You know, I was obsessed with Diablo 4 and then doing Vessel of Hatred review and forcing myself to platinum before that burned me the fuck out. And even them dropping the new class didn't make me come back. So I've been waiting. This will be my return to jumping back into Diablo 4. Excited to see what they got up their sleeve and what they've reworked. I think you're really going to like this, Greg. So of course, I went down to Blizzard. I previewed this, which we had some funky embargoes, but now it's finally time. I could talk about the Diablo 4 side of things, right? When we talk about adding new classes, you have two. One is already out. So it's kind of like, hey, have you already played it or not? The Paladin of the Custater, what was it? And then now you have the Warlock adding into this, right? And we talked about the Warlock coming to all three games. Two are mortal now into four. And kind of the evolution of the Warlock of like two is like the early days. And now four is like the ultimate Warlock beast master here, right? And it's really exciting to see not only the new classes, the new area is going to be really good and eye-catching. I think you're going to enjoy that, Greg. But the system reworks are really big. That gets me back into it, right? We're talking about that awesome skill tree that you know from Diablo 4 and all the Diablos, of course. But they wanted to kind of take that to the next level and go, hey, for people like Greg or anyone out there who's already enjoyed so much Diablo 4, how do we get them back in and make it a little more eye-catching, a little more exciting? And so they've completely reworked the skill tree to have even more nodes within it, right? So instead of your fireball just being a fireball, now you can make them ice, lightning, and arcane even more. So every single skill has more skills within them that can make it even more dynamic and different, which is cool. I can't wait. We'll go forward to it. I can't wait. You're on your ally, your ally X? Did you play it on your ally X? I played on my Steam deck back then. Really? Oh, shoot. No, I haven't played this one on my handheld yet. I'm a little worried about it. They won, wow. Yeah, I mean, we're on one of the deck. I protect my handheld. Like Super Meat Boy, for example. I didn't want to play Super Meat Boy on my handheld because I'd be jamming them. Yeah, you need to. You need to. Because I want to protect it. You need to look into how you're handling it. Because I mean, like, the guy who broke my Y button. Well, we never had a problem with that Y button. This guy's jamming it up. OK, but Mike's the guy that when he first started playing keyboard and mouse, he's like, I have blisters. Like from what? Get a hold of it. Is it holding that mouse too hard? He's like, nobody holds a mouse that hard. Don't judge. I'm afraid. April 28th also has Will follow the light. PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Dragon, Pearl of Destruction, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Yeez, Memory, Revelations, and Celsus at Switch, Rival Star, Horse Racing, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4 and 5, April 29th, Neverness to Everness, PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, Ariana and the Elder Codex on PC, MotoGP26 on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Bobo Bay, PC, Echoes of Mora, PC, McGinn, The Rat Project Stories, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series, Demon Lord, Just a Block on PC. And then April 30th, A Humongous Day, it starts with Sorrow, some PlayStation 5, Andy, we sent you to Helsinki. It's that good. You did, yeah man, oh my God, yeah. I mean, Roger played it too, Roger loved it. He's dead to it. This just seems like it's going to hit and deliver on everything we were hoping for, for anybody who played Returnal, or for anybody who saw people play Returnal and say, nope, not for me, a little too difficult, I'm not trying to bash my head into the wall and have my runs end and then go like, God damn it dude, you're really gonna punish me that hard right now. This game is a lot more approachable. It's still difficult when you're running around as Rahul Kohli dodging and trying to get away from enemies and things like that. But from the approachability side, there are so many permanent upgrades and ways to make future runs easier for you. And more importantly, it is going to, I think it's really gonna hit with the story. That's the biggest takeaway that me, Roger had. Of course we were expecting Returnal gameplay, which is already S tier, but what it's doing narratively and the way that they, the cutscene that they ended the, our demo with really, really felt like we were watching, it felt like I was watching the pilot episode of a new HBO show where you check it out and the pilot ends with this cliffhanger and you're like, oh shit, I think I'm fucking in. I am really excited for what is going to happen narratively here where Returnal was a very kind of passive experience and it had an awesome story, but told in very kind of, you know, non-traditional ways. This is definitely going for, all right, how do we evolve our formula not only gameplay wise, but narratively, you're gonna, whenever you die, you come back to the home base, you talk to all the NPCs, they're gonna give you more info, you're gonna learn more about them, you're gonna pick up notes and you're gonna come back with more information and it's just like, I could not be more excited for this video game. I can't wait, that's music to my ears. Of course, you have a great preview up with Roger, like you said, hosted by Bloss. Everybody checked that out from Gamecast last week. Also on April 30th, in Konbini, one store many stories Xbox Series X Switch 2 PC. Many stories is a cozy slice of life game about running a small town convenience store inspired by early 1990s Japan. Meet regulars, stock shelves and watch quiet, everyday moments, turn into meaningful stories. From the synopsis there, you know it's a Greg game. I got to play this at GDC at the Xbox event two years ago, maybe three, I forget what it was and liked what I played there, but I was very concerned if we'd actually ever see it come out. So having an April 30th release date, I will be there, very stoked to stock this and find those stories. This game lent to a really funny, kind of funny moment during one of these preview things where we were talking about some sort of management sim game or some convenience store thing and Mike said, oh, it reminds me of Inconvenium, Blossy was like, what? What it was, it was a reaction where I think those Inconvenium trailer and then like as soon as it popped up, you and Mike were both like, Inconvenium, me and Tim are like, we look each other like, what the fuck do you know? Yeah, why do you know Inconvenium? What's going on here? Me and convenience store in Japanese. It's gonna be very cool. Yeah, very excited about this one. This one should have some heart. I think the narrative is what's gonna get people right. We see so many simulator games and it's easy to be like, hey, I've already done that, right? But this one, I think is pushing the narrative and I think that's what's gonna get people. And that's what draws me in is that I always watch you with those Sims games or simulation games and go, man, I'd like to do that, but I don't want that much where this seems like a nice balance. So you're like, stock the shelves with the soda shirt. Do the stories. It's not strictly from the grind up, make your card shop go. Beautiful art style too. Yeah, yeah. It just makes me go, I want another seafood. Like the shading looks so similar. And they got shadows. Speaking of art styles. Oh, I think you're gonna say, speaking of so slow clap, I was like, what? Here they are. No, invincible versus not that day as well. PlayStation PC Xbox series X. Invisible versus is a brutal superhero, 3v3 tag fighting game set in the invincible universe where you can battle to the death as a team of fan favorite characters in iconic locations. Blessing are you just gonna be happy to have this out so you don't have to be asked all the time as the fighting game guy like, what about invincible? Yeah, I feel like it happens every other week of like, oh yeah, that invincible game, right? But I am looking forward to this one day announced conquest the other day. And so all y'all are fucked because I'm made in conquest. Let me tell you. I was really considering challenging you. So I'm glad that I'm fucked. No, I think this will be a fun one, right? Like it's, I think it's so interesting that it's an invincible fighting game because we often talk about the marriage between IP and video game. Oftentimes talk about it, right? And invincible is interesting because I'm like, are invincible fans gonna show up to a fighting game? Are fighting games fans gonna show up to invincible? But as long as the game's good, then I think that's the main thing that matters for gaining an audience to it. And I like a lot of what they're doing, right? It's a tag fighter made by people who worked on killer instinct. It has a lot of those combo systems in there. Has a lot of violence reminiscent of like a Mortal Kombat explode people's heads, throw people to the moon, all that type of shit. And so I'm really, really excited for it. I hate that's coming at the same day as Soros because I'm more excited for Soros, but hopefully by that time, I would have beaten the review code and then I can just focus on invincible versus on the 30th. $50 for this game, the avatar game, 30 bucks. 30 bucks, which like man, W's keep coming with the avatar game. Up next is bus bound piece. I'm actually, it was adorable adventures. PC, Xbox series X, PlayStation five. And then bus bound is a mic game. PC, Xbox series X, PlayStation five. Step into the driver seat and bus bound the latest title for the creators of bus simulator 21. Explore a vibrant city behind this, the wheel of an officially licensed bus help transform it into pedestrian friendly paradise. Once they got, I hate those rip off. Fuck it. God have the real bus in there. Yeah, I highlighted this one. Of course, we did a sponsored stream. So you take this with a grain of salt, but myself, Kevin, Joey and Nick loved this experience. It's a multiplayer game as well. The city is vibrant and huge. Very giving, giving like GTA vibes of like, we're RPing and I'm just driving the bus. But you get to create your own bus routes throughout the city. You get to run the whole entire bus fleet. You'll jump on, you can be the dispatcher and kind of organize everything. You can jump into the bus. There are real life buses here, which is very impressive to see. We set up the wheel. It was a ton of fun. Don't, not many people know. My father used to drive the bus. Love driving the bus. In his later retirement years, did the bus rodeo. Now, if I give one recommendation to bus bound, put the bus rodeo in this. The bus rodeos will invite all the top drivers from around the state to come down and do the ultimate bus challenge. It's a who's who. Right, it's a who's. And then the winner gets a big belt buckle. Oh, the bus rodeo. Big Mike always wanted to win the bus. Oh, man. Yeah, belt buckle says. Keep an eye out for this one. There's no group of buses were called a fleet. A fleet. I didn't know that. That's really neat. Rounding out April 30th and your month, you are also getting Winx Club. The magic is back. Switch PC, PlayStation 5, Perennial Dusk, Switch 2, Switch Amnesia Rebirth, Switch Switch 2, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, Heavy Duty Expansion, Xbox Series X and PC and Mollit, Mad Jack on Switch. And those ladies, gentlemen and NBs are all the announced dates for April games coming out. Yes, there will be more. I'm always interested. Again, we're using releases.com, an amazing website. There's a few looks like it maybe got left off Jason. Oh no, this is not today, but let's just toss in there. Jason says Tombwater is a 2D soul slash is a super chat. Zelda inspired Indie out today. Has anyone checked it out? Between that and Super Meat Boy and Slay the Spire. I don't know what to pick up. I did not hear about Tombwater, but out today. I'm looking at it right now. Mike in a super chat says, check out Alabaster Dawn. Cool pixel. But that's not this month. Yeah, we know Alabaster Dawn. This is the people who did a crosscode. Yes. This is what led me to play that because Andy's like, that's so amazing. You should do that. The crosscode demo or the Alabaster Dawn demo is fucking sick. The combat feels great. But the art style is one of the, they just really, really crushed the idea of like, this looks like a 2D sprite, but it's a 3D object. Like your characters are 3D, but they look like they're 2D sprites. And it's so fucking sick. This game rocks. And then final super chat about games we've missed chaos. Killer X seven says it wasn't mentioned, but really looking forward to cursed words on April 2nd. It's a great boggle style. Balochra like that has a great potential to be honest. And I boggles the mind. Yeah, it's more of that word play stuff up there. So hell yeah. Oh, about that. I'm looking into that. And that officially was every game with a date in April.
