Schedule 1 is all about the little things. Skating aimlessly at sunset, absent-mindedly jumping over curbs and down concrete stairs. Playing Pong and Snake on the TV of your seedy motel room. Getting up to draw the curtains of said motel room shut, stained fabric alleviating the constant paranoia that somebody will see what you're doing in there. You know – the little things. Since launching in late March, Schedule 1 has quickly become Steam's latest breakout darling.

There are things about Crimson Desert I wish I'd learned quicker. Coming into a pre-release build of the game, I expected it to play something like The Witcher 3, Dragon's Dogma 2, or even Elden Ring. You know the type: gruff third-person action-RPGs where you're dodge-rolling more often than walking, in which sweeping scores kick in whenever you approach a suspiciously-empty circular space. Crimson Desert has all of that, yes.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is Ubisoft at its most freewheeling. Its feudal Japan open world is vast, and you can spend many hours picking at its edges – visiting shrines, emptying castles of their loot, or simply pottering around in photo mode – without actually engaging with its story. But even the main course isn't immune to that looser approach.

Out of all the Switch 2 news to come from April's jam-packed stream, The Duskbloods may be the biggest surprise of them all. An upcoming title from Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, The Duskbloods is a deliciously gothic-looking multiplayer game that will launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2. Though we've heard very little of The Duskbloods beyond its initial trailer, it looks to lean on Bloodborne's Victorian-era aesthetic with an emphasis on vampirism.

Depending on which protagonist you spend the most time with, Assassin's Creed Shadows can be two very different games. As shinobi Naoe, it's Assassin's Creed's stealth-driven formula at its very best. Play as burlier samurai Yasuke, though, and you're looking at a hack-and-slash closer in line to action-driven RPGs like Ghost of Tsushima, louder and more combat-driven than any of its predecessors.
