March was a particularly busy month. But April, which is beginning, should let us breathe a little! But to find your way through the jungle of releases, JVFR offers you a short selection of unmissable titles this month.

Weird west

Available on PC, PlayStation 4 et Xbox

So yes, we cheat. But what idea to release on March 31 too? The first game from WolfEye Studios, founded by Raphaël Colantonio (co-founder of Arkane and director of Dishonored) is already a great critical success.



This immersive western sim in isometric view should appeal to those who like to approach situations in a wide variety of ways. A nugget, moreover integrated on day 1 in the Game Pass on consoles and PC!

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Released April 5 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox

Don't laugh, the latest LEGO Star Wars is set to be April's biggest release. But let's not take it too high; the new game from TT Games already promises to be the most ambitious compilation of the license.

And for good reason: as its name suggests, the game offers us to relive the events (and non-events) of the 9 films that make up the Skywalker arc.

Chrono Cross : The Radical Dreamers Edition

Released April 7 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox and Nintendo Switch

Monument of the JRPG, Chrono Cross comes out on current consoles and on PC in an HD remaster of which Square Enix has the secret.

23 years after its release on PlayStation, Hiromichi Tanaka and Masato Kato's game is reborn in a version that is certainly not the remake we expected, but is busy modernizing dated models and offering different filters. to adapt the rendering to their preferences. A superb Proust madeleine.



Village romance

Released April 28 on PC


We continue with a little indie sweetness. Already available in early access for a year, the city builder Dorfromantik will officially launch in version 1.0 at the end of the month.

In this zen construction game where you build villages with pretty hexagonal tiles, nothing matters more than your pleasure. No threat in sight, and no goal will disturb your inner peace. And on the menu of version 1.0 – hold on tight –: a “cancel” button, for which the development team is giving us a simply hilarious trailer.

nintendo switch sports

Released April 29 on Nintendo Switch

Already proven by Ring Fit Adventure, your bulges will literally hate you at the end of April.


The 4th best-selling video game in history (logical, it was bundled with the Wii) comes out in a Switch version embellished with new disciplines. On the program: football, volleyball, tennis and badminton, but also chanbara and bowling, pending the arrival of golf in an update scheduled for next fall.
