Nintendo Switch Sports and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga are the most anticipated games of April 2022

Nintendo Switch Sports and LEGO Star Wars

After a truly sparkling start to the year, we arrive at what appears to be a first moment of calm in the gaming market in April 2022, an evidently rather quiet month, at least on paper, which is reflected in the difficulty of finding the most anticipated game among those proposed in the lineup.

A little breathing space is physiological at this point: after seeing one of the strongest candidates for the game of the year arrive almost immediately with Elden Ring and then a sequence of very interesting releases especially between Sony and Nintendo with Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Kirby and the Lost Land and Ghostwire: Tokyo, next month has all the appearance of a moment of calm in the midst of this so far truly impressive 2022, in terms of quantity and quality of games released.

It would have been the perfect month for the release of STALKER 2, which was actually expected to arrive in April 2022, but unfortunately the title was first postponed to December and then ended up in the midst of a much more serious and important chaos than the simple videogame market, with the GSC GameWorld team found in full war zone, from which we hope it will come out unscathed as soon as possible. Once this heavyweight left the scene, the month of April was essentially uncovered of large releases and the election of the games of the month was then concentrated on titles of lesser impact, but which will not fail to interest a good amount of users. On the other hand, it is also right to dedicate yourself to some lesser game or maybe invest some time to recover the scary backlog that each of us regularly carries with us.

The most awaited by the editors

Nintendo Switch Sports, an image of the game With a lineup made up of such disparate games and the lack of a single lighthouse destined to attract everyone's attention , the different preferences of the editorial staff came out strongly, which led to an election of the most anticipated game of April 2022, decidedly fought and finally won by a whisker by Nintendo Switch Sports. The new Nintendo game is proposed as the spiritual sequel to the famous Wii Sports, perhaps one of the most popular titles in the entire history of the video game, so it is not really an exit to be taken lightly, even if it is true that the conditions and the spirit of the title are certainly different from the disruptive reach of the game that came bundled with Wii. In this case, it is a title sold at full price and at different times, so its results are likely to be different, but still something very interesting remains.

Outside of the collection of sports based on motion sensors and multiplayer for Nintendo Switch, the runner-up arrived very close to the winner: it is LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, a title that can count on two elements of enormous appeal in one fell swoop.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale, a screenshot of a clash in the game Between the presence of Star Wars and the irresistible call of buildings, also knowing the excellent levels reached by the many previous video games on the series, the new tie-in classic promises to be a very attractive game, being moreover addressed to a composite audience of all ages. The podium is closed by a third place shared between two games: the interesting hybrid between RPG and fantasy strategy King Arthur: Knight's Tale and Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, remastered version of the old Squaresoft JRPG.

The most awaited by readers

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, a screenshot of the game The result of the poll released to sportsgaming.win readers is rather indicative of a month not exactly exciting, for many: when the the most voted option for the most anticipated game is "none", moreover with an overwhelming percentage, there is very little to add about the lack of emotional involvement for this April 2022 videogame. However, we take into consideration the positive votes and, among them, we find that the most anticipated game of the month starting is LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which is therefore confirmed as one of the most interesting titles of April. The new action adventure from TT Games promises to bring all the features that made the series famous to the new generation: action, humor and puzzles to be solved with constructions.

Il second place we find it at a considerable distance from the first and always with rather low percentages, if we consider that most of the preferences went towards the nihilistic choice "none". This is Chernobylite, a survival RPG set near Chernobyl, but which obviously includes science fiction and horror elements.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, an image of the remastered game Given the period, the chosen setting is tragically back topical and this has probably provided further visibility to the game, in addition to the forced absence of the game. another title focused on this theme, that is STALKER 2. In third place, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition closes the podium, the remaster of the original Squaresoft which, also in this case, occupies the classic "nostalgia quota" that cannot be missing in monthly videogame releases.
