It's a surprisingly busy month ahead, that builds on the hype of Returnal and New Pokemon Snap to deliver a stunning number of games. The big meal ticket this month is obviously Resident Evil Village, which arrives early with its tall lady goodness on May 7. From there, the rest of the month is positively stacked.

Before you get started on Returnal, here's a few pointers to help you survive the long fight ahead of you.

Returnal is an unrelenting and unforgiving challenge for the ages, but it still captures the magic of what makes Housemarque so special. It has a weirdly unique style and substance, every level is an unpredictable white-knuckle ride and it fully commits to its rogue-like influences. The end result isn’t just a showcase title for what the PS5 is capable of, it’s a thrilling mix of arcade bullet hell gaming with precision thrill power.

New Pokemon Snap captures the magic of the original game without ever losing focus, expanding on that game with a vastly increased collection of Pokemon, colourful zones to explore, and a few other interesting developments behind the lens of this delightful romp.

What positives can be found in Yasuke, can’t hide the fact that the entire experience feels like a junk food binge that’s easily done in one. It’s not the kind of series that’ll be revisited in time like a beloved classic, functioning better as a single serving of steel and sorcery. It’s overwhelmingly okay at its very best, but at least its art and soundtrack adds some sharpness to an otherwise dull blade.

It's time to reassemble the Seinfeld gang at long last, using the most powerful force known to mankind: Big paydays for MCU feature film roles.

More Resident Evil Village demos are on the way, Mercenaries mode is making a comeback, and even more was revealed in last night's dedicated showcase to the upcoming game.

From a Fez that looks familiar to Road 96 promising hundreds of vital decisions to be made on a summer roadtrip, here’s a look at all the announcements that dropped last night in a short and sweet event.

New lands! New adventures! There’s always been a certain thrill to seeing a game of exploration play out, as you establish a colony and develop it into a thriving hub of economy. But here’s an idea: What if you were sent into a land full of nightmarish abominations that wants to turn your flesh into an appetizer, and tasked with somehow developing your own society in a world that very much wants you dead?

This year’s Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 laptop doesn’t appear to have made many changes, but it definitely has upped its game in two vital departments: Price and power. Now equipped with AMD hardware in addition to its Nvidia offerings, this year’s range of Zephyrus laptops presents a more unified and focused direction for Asus and its attempts to appeal to pockets of creative people.

Outriders is old school action that stands tall as a satisfying and vulgar display of power that’s fast, frantic, and pure fun.

Balan Wonderworld is a game of missed opportunities. It’s simplified control scheme robs it of any of the subtle complexity that the genre is best at, its various ideas are half-baked at best, and its core gameplay is a taxing uphill climb through even the most basic of platforming principles. Amusing visual design aside, the only thing that Balan Wonderworld is good at is being consistently boring.
