Sony unveiled<\/a> April\u2019s PlayStation Plus monthly games on Wednesday. The batch includes Immortals of Aveum<\/em>, Minecraft Legends<\/em>, Skul: The Hero Slayer<\/em> and an Overwatch 2<\/em> skins-and-skips bundle. Subscribers on PS Plus\u2019 Essential, Extra and Premium tiers can claim the titles starting Tuesday, April 2.<\/p>\n Immortals of Aveum<\/em> (PS5) showed promise, but its \u201cfirst-person shooter with magic instead of guns\u201d formula didn\u2019t fare incredibly well commercially. The EA-published game was met with mixed reviews, and its release date \u2014\u00a0competing against the likes of Baldur\u2019s Gate III<\/em><\/a>, Armored Core VI<\/em><\/a> and Starfield<\/em><\/a> \u2014 likely didn\u2019t help. That led to indie developer Ascendant Studios laying off nearly half its staff<\/a> a few weeks after launch. Still, despite its suspiciously smooth mechanics and too-sparse crowds, we liked its cinematics and satisfyingly powerful magical attacks<\/a>, so it could be worth checking out risk-free with your subscription.<\/p>\n Minecraft Legends<\/em><\/a> (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.<\/p>\n Skul: The Hero Slayer<\/em> (PS4) is a retro 2D side-scrolling roguelike. You play as a skeleton who can swap skulls \u2014 and, in turn, abilities \u2014 with his slain enemies. (Convenient!) The game lets you select two ability types and encourages quick-switching during combat.<\/p>\n In addition to those three games, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can snag an exclusive Overwatch 2<\/em><\/a> Mega Bundle in April. The pack includes nine skins and five Battle Pass Tier Skips. You\u2019ll first need to download Overwatch 2<\/em> from the PlayStation Store, and the bundle should show up in-game immediately (whether you\u2019re a new or returning player).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
