New month, new review of the most notable game releases of the same. With spring trying to make its way through the remains of winter and some previews of summer that have caught us all with a different pace, these days when you don’t know whether to go out with a fleece jacket or a tank top , perhaps the best thing is to reduce the trips abroad to a minimum and stay at home playing (yes, any excuse is good).
This month, things as they are, will not be particularly noteworthy in terms of large releases, although it is true that we find some highly anticipated titles and quite a variety, so it will be rare that you do not find, among these games, one that at least arouses your interest. Whether it’s tackling Mojang’s new challenge in Minecraft Legends, stepping into the shoes of the most iconic detective with Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, or of course returning to the Star Wars universe with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the list isn’t long. but yes category.
