Sony opened April’s PlayStation Plus monthly games on Wednesday. Included in the set Immortals of Aveum, Minecraft legends, Skull: Heroic Assassin and one Overwatch 2 skins and jumps pack. Subscribers on the Essential, Extra and Premium tiers of PS Plus can claim the titles from Tuesday 2 April.
Immortals of Aveum (PS5) showed promise, but its “magical first-person shooter instead of guns” formula didn’t do too well commercially. Published by EA, the game was met with mixed reviews and its release date – competing with the likes. Baldur’s Gate III, Armored core VI and Starfield – probably didn’t help. This led to indie developer Ascendant Studios lays off about half of its employees a few weeks after launch. Still, despite its suspiciously smooth mechanics and very sparse crowds, we liked its cinematics and its satisfyingly powerful magic attacksso it might be worth checking out risk-free with your subscription.
Minecraft legends (PS5 / PS4) takes the best-selling game of all time and turns it 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.
Skull: Heroic Assassin (PS4) is a retro 2D side-scrolling roguelike. You play as a skeleton that can change skulls and in turn abilities with its slain enemies. (Convenient!) The game lets you choose two types of abilities and encourages quick switching during combat.
In addition to these three games, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can have an exclusive game Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle in April. The pack includes nine skins and five Battle Pass Level Skips. You need to download it first Overwatch 2 from the PlayStation Store and the pack should appear in-game immediately (regardless of whether you’re a new or returning player).
