I've been waiting for these specific titles to drop this month; here's a breakdown of what's actually worth your time: [TARGET LINK]
good job, just don’t review games next time
I think we are missing Hades II on PS5, or does that not count as a new release in April??
Nobody cares what IGN thinks.
6:00 cool dioramas!
i don't see any big games…
What’s the Pragmata with you!? 😂 never change please.
you're going to be my notification every month reminding me whats new… 👑
Replaced Not Hitting PS5 Is one of the biggest let downs I experienced in a while.
They are gonna have to change the name of “Outbound” to “real life post 2026” if they don’t get these prices under control!
For me its pragmater mouse pi and hades 2 is also coming out this month on ps5
Also 'Neverness to Everness' is out April 29th for a F2P anime GTA game.
i will be playing mouse pi pragmata and finally diablo 4 lord of hatred that is my list
Hades 2 also releases on PlayStation and Xbox on the 14th!
Playstation All Stars Round 2 how long this game gonna be released??????

Looking at this guy and the games he's exited about, it makes complete sense why IGN is the laughing stock of the gaming industry…

Max Schoville is IGN’s best employee.
Thanks a lot bud, good stuff
Even though I hardly have any time to play games anymore, I watch these videos because I find them to be strangely meditative
No Vampire Crawlers inclusion?
Darwin's Paradox perfect for the Portal
Isn't Starfield coming to PS5 in the month of april? Yeah right?? 🤔🤔
