February was a short but busy month for gaming, I’m currently playing through Octopath Traveler II after finally finishing my playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy (review coming soon). My personal highlight for March is definitely Resident Evil 4. I haven’t played the original but Capcom has stolen my heart with everything they have released after Resident Evil VII. Without further ado, here are 7 games releasing in March I’m excited for.
