Sony unveiled Aprils PlayStation Plus monthly games on Wednesday. The batch includes Immortals of Aveum, Minecraft Legends, Skul: The Hero Slayer and an Overwatch 2 skins-and-skips bundle. Subscribers on PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium tiers can claim the titles starting Tuesday, April 2.
Immortals of Aveum (PS5) showed promise, but its first-person shooter with magic instead of guns formula didnt fare incredibly well commercially. The EA-published game was met with mixed reviews, and its release date competing against the likes of Baldurs Gate III, Armored Core VI and Starfield likely didnt help. That led to indie developer Ascendant Studios laying off nearly half its staff a few weeks after launch. Still, despite its suspiciously smooth mechanics and too-sparse crowds, we liked its cinematics and satisfyingly powerful magical attacks, so it could be worth checking out risk-free with your subscription.
Minecraft Legends (PS5 / PS4) takes the best-selling game of all time and spins it off into a real-time action-strategy game. In the franchise's blocky style, players form alliances to defeat invading piglins from the Nether dimension. The game includes a single-player story mode and multiplayer for up to eight players.
Skul: The Hero Slayer (PS4) is a retro 2D side-scrolling roguelike. You play as a skeleton who can swap skulls and, in turn, abilities with his slain enemies. (Convenient!) The game lets you select two ability types and encourages quick-switching during combat.
In addition to those three games, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can snag an exclusive Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle in April. The pack includes nine skins and five Battle Pass Tier Skips. Youll first need to download Overwatch 2 from the PlayStation Store, and the bundle should show up in-game immediately (whether youre a new or returning player).This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/immortals-of-aveum-headlines-aprils-ps-plus-monthly-games-183924174.html?src=rss
