April has finally arrived, and is an exciting time to look forward to in terms of video game releases and content. If you’re looking to pick up some new titles this month, then we’ve got everything you’ll need to know about the best games to consider. In no particular order, here’s our list for the top 10 best games releasing in April 2023 to keep on your radar.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
April 12 – Xbox Series XS a year after the one-year timed exclusive release for PC and PS5, Ghostwire: Tokyo brings a first-person action-adventure title with an eye-catching spooky, neon aesthetic to the platform. Ghostwire: Tokyo has an impressive narrative and immersive world set in an alternate Japan overcome with supernatural entities.
While being praised for the visual worldbuilding, Ghostwire: Tokyo is known to have mixed reviews on combat, with reports of it feeling a little clunky and boss battles being underwhelming. Despite the combat not being perfect, it stands out as unique and contains plenty of enjoyable enemy encounters to work your way through. On top of this, the atmosphere of the supernatural-infested world is rather impressive, as it manages to balance beauty and haunted imagery. Ghostwire Tokyo arrives on the Xbox Store and Xbox Game Pass on April 12, 2023.

Arriving on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC on April 14, 2023, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection includes ten games from the Mega Man series that you can work through at your own pace. These games include all six mainline Mega Man Battle Network games, bringing a different approach to the familiar mix of run-and-gun and Metroidvania playstyle and swapping it out for a tactical RPG format.
These games play similarly to any other tactical RPG, featuring a world map, NPCs, and unique combat where you take control of a battle program called Megaman.exe to go head-to-head against viruses. This differs significantly from the average Mega Man title, making it quite an interesting spin-off series to dive into. If you’re a big fan of tactical RPGs, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection could be worth a shot, even if you’re unfamiliar with the franchise.
