The last month probably won’t be remembered as one of the richest and most eventful months in video game history, but good games were certainly not lacking in the end, but in the end there wasn’t much of a battle to choose from. Game of the Month for April 2022. So much so that the elections finally focused on a single option that practically caught the attention of the majority of the public, as well as the press. LEGO Star Wars: The Legend of Skywalker. This is despite the fact that other very interesting products appeared, especially towards the last days of the period under study. We are talking about Rogue Legacy 2, which seems to be one of the most important games of this first episode of 2022, especially according to the ones from Metacritic.
With a Metascore of over 90, although it still held up to a few reviews, the game received less attention than it should have due to its release in the last days of the month, so there was little financial time to delve into it.
Much of the April lineup was once again made up by indie games of various genres, but there was no shortage of even the biggest titles like Nintendo Switch Sports, which could represent the new mass phenomenon for the Nintendo console. It is almost impossible to repeat the overwhelming success of its progenitor for the Wii. In short, it was a very transitional month towards the second half of the year, with many unknowns to be discovered, waiting for the season of announcements and presentations, which will generally start between the end of spring and the beginning of summer. .
Selection of the editorial staff
Selection of the April 2022 game editorial board With LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in the first place and with a noticeable distance from other games, it delivered a clear, crisp finish. As we reported in our review, Warner Bros. The game represents massive work for TT Games and reclaims all the historical power elements of the series as a sort of compendium of the team’s work on the license. The question that sums up the 9 movies of the Skywalker saga with great charisma in one video game product. Also in this case, the stories are reinterpreted according to a decidedly humorous track record, while simultaneously presenting the series’ epic and iconic moments with a variety of tradition from within in a title that combines action and adventure in typical LEGO fashion. the game. role. In short, a well-deserved first for the new maxi-game that reboots the team’s vision for a cinematic reinterpretation in a LEGO key.
In second place, a significant distance from the first position, is placed 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim for Nintendo Switch.
Atlus and Vanillaware is definitely one of the best games to come out this month and beyond, considering it would have deserved more if it wasn’t for a simple port of a game released on platforms two and a half years ago. Chernobylite, which is in third place in a short distance, is back in April with a version specially designed for next-gen platforms after its release on PS5 and Xbox Series X | A survival game with horror elements from The Farm 51, also coming to S. great impression it made on PC last year. Coming off the podium, we find the aforementioned Rogue Legacy 2, which certainly deserves more, but has found itself somewhat penalized for exiting too close to the poll’s administration.

Third place for Chernobyl is the game’s PS5 and Xbox Series X | It is likely to be reinvented compared to the original, which dates back to last year with its release on the S. However, the positions outside the podium are also interesting, because they come very close to it: in fourth place is Nintendo Switch Sports, a collection of sports simulations for the Nintendo console. but it will certainly draw significant attention from the public waiting to learn some data on sales. Then, only in a very short distance, is Rogue Legacy 2, which managed to garner some votes just in time, with the most complete impact of the Cellar Door Games title, which should be evaluated in the coming weeks given how it looks.
