As we're heading into the last week of April, we have a much anticipated AAA title launching, which involves light sabres and thus shouldn't be too hard to guess. Other games this week include forest rangers, lights and shadows, dead things that are evil and much more. Something for almost everyone in other words, we hope.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor / This week's AAA title / Friday 28 April
The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a third person galaxy-spanning action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. This narratively-driven, single player title picks up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal's increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness.




Forest Ranger Simulator / Monday 24 April
Take care of forgotten nature's treasure. Build, craft, feed, clean and manage your forest in Forest Ranger Simulator. Ensure its long-lasting beauty and become a flawless Forest Ranger!



Strayed Lights / Tuesday 25 April
Explore a dark and oneiric world of rampant nature and corrupted cities. Embody a tiny being of light on its path towards awakening. Fight your inner demons and restore your balance.



Evil Dead: The Game / This week's AA title / Wednesday 26 April
Step into the shoes of Ash Williams or his friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op & PVP multiplayer action! Play as a team of 4 survivors in a game inspired by all 3 original Evil Dead films as well as the Ash vs Evil Dead television series.



The Last Case of Benedict Fox / Thursday 27 April
Take on the last case of Benedict Fox and dive into a twisted world of secret organizations, forbidden rituals, and cold-blooded murders. Explore the memories of deceased victims as you search for clues and fight demons in this fantastical Lovecraftian Metroidvania.



Minabo - A walk through life / Friday 28 April
Minabo - A walk through life is a social simulation game where you walk the path of life while your turnip grows and thrives (or not) in its social relationships.

I voted "SW: Jedi: Survivor", but the Forest Ranger Simulator looks like my kind of atmospheric game too. Added to my Steam wishlist. :)

Also voted for Jedi Survivor, to my surpise I liked the first game a lot and even finished it.

Sadly I won't be able to play it anytime soon since I've burned my budget for new relases for a while now and the game wont be on gamepass at relase so its + 1 game for my backlog.:oops:

Yeah, not paying £50+ for a PC game. I'll get Jedi at some point but the price point is off-putting.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Not seeing anywhere close to $70 of value there. Wait a couple of years and get the patched and polished version on a big Steam Sale for probably $20.

What are these people thinking voting for mediocre Star Wars over Minabo? lol

To anyone interested in Jedi Survivor, it'll be on EA's subscription pass (Play Pro? Used to be Origin.), so grabbing the game and playing through on pc is more like 12-15 usd than the full sticker price.
Dunno how it is on consoles.

Not sure "Forest Ranger Simulator" will be a success without Yogi & Boo-Boo.
