April marks the six month anniversary of the next-gen consoles. The release slate is still fairly balanced though, with titles coming for all platforms from PC to 3DS to current gen to next. There isn’t anything quite as attention grabbing as Titanfall in March, but April is shaping up to be a great month for the gaming industry.

This month also brings with it a lot of variety. From MMORPGs to sports titles to movie tie-ins, April has a little something for everyone.

On the single-player front, games like Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, and Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure will be playing around with more experimental gameplay flows and ideas.

If you know where to look, you definitely won't be spoiled for choice when it comes to finding new games to play throughout this month.

This weekend will be full of new game trailers and content shown at Summer Games Fest and other gaming showcases, but don't let the new announcements distract you from the great games that just came out. While the waiting time between new console game releases can seem to drag on forever sometimes, new games are always released on Steam.

If you need a game to jump into between showcases this weekend and want to try something new, here are three recently released games on Steam that are worth checking out based on initial reviews. The first game is a retro platformer with a challenging but fun twist. The second entry is a modern asymmetrical survival horror game based on a cult classic sci-fi film from the '80s. And lastly, we've got an online sandbox survival title that's making waves in early access.
