April is yet another month of potentially great games, starting the month off strong with the release of Persona 5. If you're a fan of classic LucasArts graphic adventure games, you may be familiar with Full Throttle which is also releasing this month in a remastered package similar to Day of the Tentacle's remaster.

Persona 5
Release date: 4/4/2017 | Pre-order: PS4 PS3 | (PlayStation Exclusive)
Amazon product description:
Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled high school students - the protagonist and a collection of compatriots he meets in the game's story - who live dual lives as Phantom Thieves. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high schooler - attending class, after school activities and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the “self”. The game's heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective masks and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.
