I migliori videogiochi di aprile 2022

April was relatively quiet on the gaming front after a bustling first quarter for video game releases. There were just a couple of notable AAA releases, so indie games had more time to shine. Although April did not have an Elden Ring -level release, plenty of great games still dropped over the past month.

In particular, five video games and one brand new system stand out when looking back at April 2022 If you’re wondering what new games there are to play in this slower period, check out these titles.

Nintendo Switch Sports

The Nintendo Switch finally got its own Wii Sports successor this month. Nintendo Switch Sports features simplified versions of sports like bowling, soccer, volleyball, badminton, chambara, and tennis that use the Joy-Cons’ motion controls and are fun for the whole family. It features full online support and will be updated in the future with new sports, including golf.

“ Nintendo Switch Sports is exactly what it needs to be,” Digital Trends’ Giovanni Colantonio wrote in a three-and-a-half star review for the game. “It’s an intuitive package of Wii-era sports minigames with more precise motion controls and full online integration. Addictive activities like bowling and badminton make it one of the Switch’s best multiplayer party games, though overly complicated minigames like soccer miss the simple appeal of the series.”

Wii Sports _is one of the most ubiquitous video games out there, so it’s good to know that _Nintendo Switch Sports lives up to the name, even if it doesn’t reinvent the formula. This is not a complex title, but it’s the next great multiplayer party game for Nintendo Switch.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

The latest Lego title from TT Games has been a long time coming, and its scope matches the development time. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features retellings of all nine classic mainline Star Wars films in a massive game full of large hub worlds based on iconic planets. It doesn’t always mesh together well, but there’s certainly no shortage of fun to be had here.

“ Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the most engaging Lego game in years, thanks to its deeper gameplay and all of the faithfully recreated Star Wars locales that players can explore,” I wrote in a three-star review. “But like the protagonists of each Star Wars trilogy, The Skywalker Saga has an identity crisis.”

Although I was a little more mixed on the game than some, The Skywalker Saga certainly has its merits and will be a delightful game for kids and families. If you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan and plan to spend a lot of time exploring once you get through all nine films, then you’ll enjoy Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

MLB The Show 22

MLB The Show 22 is the latest baseball sim from Sony’s San Diego Studio. It’s one of the rare Sony games that’s not PlayStation exclusive, as MLB The Show 22 is also on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch this year with full crossplay and cross-progression support. Not a lot has changed since MLB The Show 21, but MLB The Show 22 is still the most comprehensive baseball game out right now. You can bring a player to the big leagues in Road to the Show, play a quicker season as your favorite team from March to October, or collect player cards to create a dream team in Diamond Dynasty. It’s all here and as polished as ever.

“Admittedly, MLB The Show 22′ s gameplay is also just in a really good place,” I previously wrote while discussing how MLB The Show 22 is a fantastic fit for Xbox Game Pass. “The pitching, batting, and fielding all have a lot of depth and different control schemes, even if these mechanics are the same as last year’s.”

It won’t blow you away, but this is another excellent baseball simulation for fans of the sport that’s as relaxing or exhilarating as they want it to be. And now that it’s on both Xbox Game Pass and Nintendo Switch, MLB The Show 22 is available to almost any1. Hopefully, we get a PC port next year.

Demolire

Teardown is one of several standout indie games to exit early access this month. In it, players pull off heists in levels that have completely destructible environments. That detailed level of destruction gives the player a ton of freedom in accomplishing objectives, making it a memorable immersive sim.

“It may look like a Minecraft mod at first glance, but Teardown excels as a destruction sandbox, an ingenious puzzle game, and a thrilling action title all at once,” Colantonio wrote. “It’s the closest I’ve seen a video game come to capturing the spirit of movies like Ocean’s 11 to date.”

Teardown first entered early access in October 2020, but finally got its 1.0 launch on April 21. Now that the game is complete, players can see everything this heist sandbox offers.

Dorfromantik

Giochi per i costruttori di città come CITES: Skylines possono spesso diventare schiaccianti ed essere estenuanti da giocare. Dorfromantik prende questo concetto nella direzione opposta, presentando un costruttore di città minimalista in cui i giocatori costruiscono lentamente una città con una pila di tessere di città generata proceduralmente.

"È un gioco che gioco quasi ogni singolo giorno mentre mi snoda prima di andare a letto", ha scritto Corantonio in un pezzo sul gioco, che presenta approfondimenti dei suoi sviluppatori. “E mentre lo accendo come un rilassante scender, mi trovo ancora ansioso di battere il mio punteggio alto e creare una massa terrestre ancora più grande. Sono in grado di giocare con intenti strategici senza la mia pressione sanguigna alle stelle. "

Dorfromantik ha attirato molta attenzione positiva quando ha raggiunto l'accesso anticipato nel marzo 2021, ma è finalmente uscito dall'accesso anticipato il 28 aprile. Coloro che amano i giochi rilassanti, i giochi di puzzle o i costruttori di città devono controllare Dorfromantik out.

PlayDate

PlayDate non è un gioco; È un nuovo sistema portatile con alcune funzionalità molto specifiche. Ha la visualizzazione di un ragazzo di gioco ma presenta tocchi moderni come il supporto Wi-Fi e Bluetooth. C'è anche una manovella rotante sul dispositivo che viene utilizzato in quasi tutti i giochi, che vengono consegnati al portatile settimanalmente come parte di una stagione.

"La Dadate non sarà per tutti, ma il pubblico previsto mangerà questo affascinante piccolo portatile", scrive Corantonio nella sua recensione a star e mezzo del sistema. "Il suo controllo unico di manovella sta già portando ad alcuni videogiochi selvaggiamente creativi, alcuni dei quali sono davvero geniali."

Playdate ha iniziato a spedire e distribuire due partite settimanali questo mese, quindi i primi ad adottare non hanno ancora avuto l'intera esperienza di PlayDate. Ma è un sistema emozionante tenere d'occhio in quanto attira molti talentuosi sviluppatori indie.
