Immortals of Aveum Could Get Much-Needed Second Wind With PS Plus Inclusion in April

due to a scheduling issue and simply

because it was a so-so title

.

On any other date, people might have given Immortals of Aveum a pass. However, the last-minute early release of Baldur's Gate 3 and the launch of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon with Starfield just two weeks away, made it difficult for Immortals of Aveum to get any attention.

Months later and there's little reason for PS Plus subscribers not to give the "fantasy shooter", which currently has a 69% average rating on Metacritic, a shot.

Continuing with the "underrated" theme, Minecraft Legends, a real-time strategy spin-off set in Mojang's wildly popular survival crafting game, is a breath of fresh air in a usually inaccessible genre. It's a child-friendly take on the RTS formula that might just eat hours of your time.

Finally, completing the trifecta is arguably the best game of the lineup, Skul: The Hero Slayer. While not ground-breaking by any means, this indie 2D platformer rogue-lite reverses the "man vs monster" trope by having you play as the last Skul, a demon, who must now save his king from the clutches of the evil human beings. If the premise doesn't draw you in, then maybe the 80% average rating on Metacritic will.

Aside from the April PS Plus Essential lineup, PlayStation 5 owners have plenty to look forward to in the coming months, starting with Stellar Blade.

Following an earlier leak into its NSFW costumes, Stellar Blade is getting a demo on March 29 ahead of its release on PlayStation 5 on April 26.
