Our April games picks

Each month a slew of new games come to Play. To help you find ones you’ll love, we – the Play editors – are sharing our favorite recent releases. Our Spotlight title is a game that’s won our hearts with stunning visuals, intuitive gameplay, or pure simplistic fun – we know you’ll love our pick of the month.

Dredge imposes upon your space. It looms in the background of your mind. It’s a tale of a washed up fisherman trying to make his way in life, scoring catch after catch to pay off the debts accrued for damaging his boat. But it’s also a slow-burn horror and cautionary tale where disturbing what lies beneath the surface is fraught with tension, even if you’re just trying to earn an honest living.

As you dredge the depths of “The Marrow,” the mysteries of its remote islands, inhabitants, and the nighttime fog begin to emerge. It’s not all doom and gloom though;, there’s a rich variety of fish to catch, a deep ship and tool upgrading system to explore, and local lore to learn. Just watch out for the eldritch horrors that stalk the night.

Whether they amused, soothed, scared or tested us, these Highlights are an ensemble of our favorite games this month.
