Would DEFINITELY recommend checking out the Prey demos (out on both xbox and PS4) if you are interested in the game, I had it on pre order at a great price ($37 with best buy $25 visa promo) and cancelled after an hour of playing. I love System Shock, platinum'd and loved Dishonored 2 last year, and just could not get into Prey at all. Some technical flaws with controls, huge problems with audio, visuals that felt off in many ways, long-ish load times for saves, and constant jump scares from the monster system left me not wanting to play at all.
Have Fire Emblem limited on pre order but since i haven't even opened the last one doubt I'll get around to it. Looks like it'll be a month to catch up on Yakuza 0 and Kingdom Hearts. I do look forward a lot to the Forza Horizon 3 DLC, I love hotwheels and still play FH3 weekly during forzathon.

Depending on reviews Prey is the only game next month that I will probably play. If not then backlog month it is.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception
Summon Night 6
Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada
Operation Babel
Gonna be a good end of month for me. I will justify all of these by saying they are birthday presents to myself.

Hollow Knight on Switch doesn't have a date yet, but it's actively the next platform release from the developers, and given how quickly a lot of indie software has been turned around for the system (and how short the notice has typically been for final release dates) I'm hopeful for a release in May or early June. It's the only surefire day-one purchase for me between now and E3, should it arrive in that window.
I'd like to pick up Fire Emblem Echoes in case the physical copy goes out of print quickly (you never know with Fire Emblem in the post-Awakening environment), but honestly, I'll be lucky to get to it by the end of the year; I'm not even through with all of the Fates campaigns yet, and where my 3DS is concerned I still have Bravely Second sitting around unplayed. Likewise, Disgaea 5 interests me, but I just won't have the time for it if it's as hefty an experience as people say, so I'm fine with holding off on it for now.
Ultra Street Fighter II will eventually be a necessity on my Switch, but Capcom has set a clear precedent for steep digital sales on the eShop, so I'll wait. The initial cost of entry is too high.

Gonna rent Injustice 2. Only game i'm buying is Fire Emblem this month.
3 Switch games:
Shakedown Hawaii was supposed to release this month but I am hopeful it'll come out in May.
I snagged RiME for a low price due to an Amazon pricing error, looks right up my alley.
NBA Playgrounds. A week before this was announced I got back into NBA Street vol 2 on a nostalgia trip. Their announcement timing was perfect because I'd have probably ignored this otherwise. I usually never play sports games but the arcadey ones are great and they seem kind of rare now. If Playgrounds is anything like Street Vol 2, then I think i'll have a lot of fun with it on Switch.

The Caligula Effect, even though I know it will be of middling quality at best, and Injustice 2.

I'm interested in Dreamfall Chapters, Victor Vran & The Surge, won't be getting them at launch though.
Prey also looks cool but I'm not too sure about it yet.
Far point & Star Trek are on my radar if/when I get PSVR
I'll probably just be playing Yooka Laylee & something from the backlog next month

Uh, is Dreamfall Chapters still coming to North America? I can't find it on Xbox Live, PSN, nor any evidence of a physical release on Amazon.

Having played/previewed the game, it has potential. Won't stop people simply branding it a Souls clone, but to fit the "your next Action RPG" role, it definitely has a few things going for it.
Rime should be the kind of game I look forward to but having played a bit of it at GDC, it feels rather "OK" at best. Hopefully the puzzles and all-round design/aesthetic get better as it progresses, but I can see Rime/RIME/RimE? getting 6-7/10 scores.
Fire Emblem Echoes
The Caligula Effect
Utawarerumono The Mask of Deception
Summon Night 6
Operation Babel
Ys Origin (for Vita)
Disgaea 5
Ultra Street Fighter II
Maybe:
Trails in the Sky 3rd
Injustice (too bad it's not coming out for Switch, this would have been perfect night shift game for me)
