Best Upcoming PS4, Xbox One, Switch Games in April 2019
Switch
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
It’s Final Fantasy season for the Nintendo Switch, as FFX and X-2 will be making their way to the console in April. Possibly the best entry in the series to get into for newcomers, Final Fantasy X features a great turn-based combat system that truly withstands the test of time.
Final Fantasy X-2 also has a wonderful combat system, but with how tonally different the story is in the sequel, your mileage may vary with this one.
Cuphead
Originally an Xbox One/PC exclusive, Cuphead is releasing on the Switch this month. It’s essentially a boss rush type of game, though there are optional levels you can tackle in between. Cuphead was praised for its beautiful old-timey graphical style, and the challenge that comes with taking down its colorful bosses.
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
Still one of the best action-RPGs ever released on the PS3, it’s pretty exciting to see Capcom bring Dragon’s Dogma to Nintendo’s hybrid console.
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen features an in-depth class and pawn system that allows you to build your character (and sidekick) however you want, and choose unique skills that would fit your play style. The Switch port also comes packed with the Dark Arisen DLC, which comes with a challenging end game dungeon for players to tackle.
BoxBoy and BoxGirl
For the puzzle fans out there, BoxBoy and BoxGirl is the sequel to BoxBoy, and it features tons of new levels for you to tackle with a friend.
You can play the game solo as well, as you use BoxBoy to twist his body around to solve environmental puzzles and get through the levels.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Alongside X and X-2, Final Fantasy XII will also be joining Square Enix’s library of FF games on the Switch this April. The Zodiac Age port was first released on PS4, but it looks like the Switch version will include a few extra improvements.
For instance, there will be an easier way for you to reset character jobs. In addition to that, there will also be a new game plus mode that allows you to carry over character levels, weapons, and money into a new adventure.
