Games you can play this week – timing and precision

April’s gaming schedule is underway with a massive Xbox One and PC exclusive kicking it off, but PS4 and PC owners also get their fair share of gaming action this week.

Here are our picks for the games of the week:

Quantum Break

Release date: 5 April (Xbox One, PC)

Quantum Break is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games for Xbox One and PC gamers this year, and it’s releasing this week. Made by Remedy, the developer behind Max Payne and Alan Wake, the game follows an experiment that has gone wrong. The event not only causes time to start breaking down, but also grants the three main characters – Jack Joyce, Beth Wilder, and Paul Serene – the ability to manipulate time.

In addition to the time-bending third-person shooting gameplay, Quantum Break has been developed alongside a live-action series that will change based on your actions in the game. It’s a massively ambitious concept and we can’t wait to get our hands on this one.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles (retail pack)

Release date: 5 April (Xbox One, PS4, PC)

A thrilling new saga in the Assassin’s Creed Universe, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles take players to three distinct civilisations and time periods throughout history: the start of the Ming Dynasty crumble, the Sikh Empire going to war in India, and the aftermath of Red October revolution.

Essentially three games in one, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles let players embody the Assassins Shao Jun, Arbaaz Mir and Nikolai Orelov in a 2.5D re-visitation of the celebrated game experience in the China, India, and Russia adventures. Slay from the shadows, master the art of parkour and take the Leap of Faith in some of the most visually spectacular AC games to date.
