Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for April and May 2021

Just Returnal for me. I have enjoyed playing some PS4 games at their best via BC but I'm ready for a true PS5 game.

Finally, the drought is almost over.

Mass Effect in May will kick-start months of gloriously trying to get the platinums. Can. Not. Wait.

April and may seems good, hyped for returnal, resident evil 8, and nier replicant

Drought what drought.

• MLB The Show 21,
• Resident Evil Village,
• OutRiders,
• Nier Replicant
• Mass Effect Legendary
• Biomutant

Will all be mine.

For me the following I will be keen to get on board with:

• Disco Elysium
• Resi Evil VIII
• DeathLoop
• Biomutant

I havent played the free Subnautica we have been given, but my interest is piqued with and may get the new one, depending on how the one I have plays out.

The Drought ends on April 23rd with Nier Replicant and then Returnal. From there I see nothing but a wealth of games until the end of June. So April 23rd is the official beginning of Next-Gen Year One for me.

Disco Elysium next week.

You're missing Nocturne HD on the 25th of May.

Glad to see some more must have PS5 games coming in the next few months. Now let me upgrade my SSD storage Sony so I will have space to store these games.

Resident Evil Village
Judgment
Nier Replicant
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Deathloop

All day 1 pick ups.

Does that Biomutant Atomic edition come with an actual biomutant?

Super excited! Been clearing out my backlog to focus on these.

-Returnal
-Mass Effect Legendary Edition
-RE: Village
-Maybe Deathloop?

Biomutant for the win word up son

Oh god...May's going to be expensive.

Mass Effect and Nocturne

I'm bored, so a breakdown:

First, as noted by @ApostateMage, Disco Elysium on I think March 30? Anyway, a must buy.

April 30, Returnal: I'd buy this day one if I had a PS5. I'll save a little money by not having one yet, but I won't be happy about it.

May 7, Resident Evil Village: I won't pay 70 for a PS4 version of this. Again, I'll wait till I have a 5 and hopefully a price drop. These are typically short games, so I don't mind waiting, but around this time I'll start sweating not having a 5.

April 1, Outriders: I want to like this, but had troubles with the demo and read some negative things, so I'll wait on many reviews of the final version and make my decision then.

April 23, Nier Replicant: Must buy.

April 30, Cthulhu Saves Christmas: Come on, PushSquare, you owe it to yourselves and us to review this based on name alone.

May 14, a huge potential spending spree day! Mass Effect Legendary Edition: Day one must-buy-physical game for me. Subnautica Below Zero: Very crafty, Sony, as I've liked what I've played of the original so far. Will probably wait a bit on this, because it has the misfortune to come out on the same day as Deathloop and Mass Effect: Gluttony Edition. Deathloop: Despite my misgivings about game type, I'm going to trust Arcane and get this day one. Bittersweet, because it may be the last Arcane game to see the PlayStation.

May 25, Biomutant, which I was more excited for a few years ago than I am now, but will probably buy if reviews are positive. Also, as mentioned by @Ralizah, Nocturne HD hits on this day. A few people have done a wonderful job of selling me on this one based on my enjoyment of the type of gameplay they've described, so thanks for that.

Lastly, I hope that by this time, the end of May, I'll finally be able to get a PS5 and Xbox Series X by just plunking my money down on a store counter. I WANT to be broke by the end of May!

Really hope I can get my hands on a PS5 soon so I can play Returnal and Deathloop.

Wish some of these bigger titles were spaced out a bit more, but it’s looking more and more like waiting to play a game ultimately only improves the overall experience. So think I will go...
1, Returnal (weekends)
2, Biomutant (weekends)
3, Resident Evil Village (Summer break)

Returnal, Resident Evil, and Nier replicant for me!

Can't wait for Nier, Returnal & RE 8 and very frustrated that they all come out a week after one another dunno whether to play Nier or Returnal 1st i'll play during the day and switch to RE 8 when it gets dark

WOOOOOO RETURNAL LET'S GOOOOOOOO

It's astounding that we're almost a half year into the PS5 and this is the current catalog. I know that development difficulties have been compounded by covid, and I'm not discounting that, but this launch has been even more lackluster than the PS3 launch, with the PS5 functioning as a PS4 pro plus for most owners. That the most played games on PS5 are PS4 games is very telling, and hopefully Sony can do something to turn this around sooner than later.

A ton of bangers. The show, bio mutant, returns and RE8. Damn!

@LordSteev resi villiage is only £55 on release. As it should be.

I’ll likely wait for returnal to come to Plus. Most house marquee games do and I have too much of a back catalogue of games currently.

I’d get Resi8 if it was on VR, but I just can’t get as excited about it given it isn’t. VR is such a huge gamechanger for horror.

Never played a baseball game in my life. Doubt I’ll start unless one comes to plus or now and I like it.

@LordSteev
Just a fyi Resident Evil Village aint a $70 game pushsquare just list the Deluxe edition twice for Ps4/Ps5 the base edition is your normal $60. I should know i pre-ordered it on Xbox 1. There was basicly no differences from what i can tell between the two versions exsempt from higher difficults unlocked early.

and so starts the madness!!! can't wait!

outriders
returnal
re8

this is going to be epic!

@Loftimus @TrueAssassin86x

You're right, I was looking at deluxe edition, I guess. Maybe I will get RE8 on release, then, as long as the PS5 upgrade is free. Thanks!

Im happy to wait for a price drop on most of these, although Village could tempt me and i kinda feel i should give them my cash for not whacking the price up to 69.99 for the base PS5 version.

More solid games than I have time for. This is a good problem to have. The must-buys for me are:

Resi Village (a friend preordered this for me as a bday gift)
Returnal (going to finish Control first)
Biomutant (going to finish DMC5 SE first)
Nier Replicant (going to pickup Automata first though)

Won't be buying any of them at least not for a good few months yet.

Resi 8 interests me the most but got to play Resi 3 remake first and maybe Resi 7 (although everything I've seen about this game suggests it's a bit too much for my sensibilities!).

Of the rest maybe Biomutant but need to see and hear more about that particular title.

For me anyway the most exciting games due out this year (two for certain anyway) are Kena, Stray and Horizon Forbidden West. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Little Devil Inside are next on my list.

To be honest can't wait for Rtype final 2.

For those who want Kaze, a bit of advice- I bought the digital version that is already out. Well, it is not exactly fun. It is extremely difficult. One of the trophies is requiring you to beat each level on every island (That includes the special level, and all the bosses without getting hit at all) It's very frustrating and hard.

I already pre-ordered

• Nier Replicant
• Saga Frontier Remastered
• Atelier Trilogy DX

I am looking forward to the following:

• Ratchet and Clank
  Returnal
  RE: Village

and will most likely rent these from Gamefly:

• Poison Control
  Mass Effect Legendary Edition

1. The Show
2. Nier Replicant (4-20)
3. Returnal (4-30)
4. RE: The Village (5-7)
5. Biomutant (5-25)
6. Ratchet and Clank (6-11)
7. Scarlet Nexus (6-25)

Outriders is on PC. That way it is also going to be my Handheld game with Shadow PC.

I am set for a few months. This is how I like it, can make a list months ahead with a big new game every month

pass on all of these. ratchet & clank rift apart will probably be my next purchase. i might give oddworld a go since it's coming to PS+, but i've not played any of the other abe games. the only oddworld game i played was stranger's wrath.

Have heard very little about poison control...

@Splat Oh god, please let this be good.

@deathaxe Not looking hopeful for May, sadly.
