We’re about midway by April, which suggests one other wave of titles is up for grabs for Xbox Recreation Cross subscribers. You’ve obtained a hockey sim, a JRPG, a tower protection action-strategy recreation, and extra, in addition to that hilariously foolish crustacean Soulslike. It’s a fairly good month, to be sincere, as there’s just a little one thing for everybody right here.
Let’s kick issues off with what’s accessible proper now. The adorably handcrafted point-and-click journey recreation Harold Halibut is yours to obtain with an lively Xbox Recreation Cross subscription. The debut title from developer Sluggish Bros., Harold Halibut follows the titular character as he seeks to outline “residence” for himself. Sadly, Kotaku workers author Willa Rowe discovered it underwhelming, saying in her assessment that the handcrafted visuals are gorgeous however the characters and gameplay go away one thing to be desired. Nonetheless, Harold Halibut is value a shot.
Transferring onto what’s coming within the subsequent handful of days, you’ve obtained tower protection technique recreation Orcs Should Die! 3 on April 17, EA Sports activities’ hockey sim NHL 24 on April 18, turn-based JRPG (and non secular successor to Suikoden) Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes on April 23, medieval metropolis builder Manor Lords on April 26, and 2D Metroidvania Have a Good Loss of life on April 30, which ought to fill that Hole Knight: Silksong-shaped gap in your coronary heart. There are additionally three extra video games for Xbox Recreation Cross Core members: Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot: Thoughts Management Delete, and Wreckfest, all accessible on April 23.
In my eyes, although, the headliner of the bunch is One other Crab’s Treasure, that wacky arthropod Soulslike by Going Below developer Aggro Crab. You would possibly bear in mind this recreation from an October 2023 TikTok by which a participant pulls out a gat to bust a cap in a troublesome boss. Yeah, it’s that recreation. It’s coming to Xbox Recreation Cross on April 25, which sucks for me as a result of that’s proper across the time that Stellar Blade, my newest love, comes out.
As is customary when new choices arrive, some should additionally depart. Six video games are leaving Xbox Recreation Cross on April 30, together with first-person zombie survival shooter 7 Days to Die, physics-building simulator Besiege, EA Sports activities’ NHL 22, the superb Soulslike dungeon crawler Loot River, the informal indie puzzler Pikuniku, and Cococucumber’s action-adventure RPG Ravenlok.
You’ll be able to verify the complete record of titles coming to Xbox Recreation Cross beneath.
