UK software sales – April 11, 2022

Original (4/11): The latest UK software sales are in, and there’s good news for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
The new game is actually the second-biggest boxed launch of the year. Only Pokemon Legends: Arceus has done better. As a result, the title sold more physical copies upon release than other heavy hitters like Elden Ring and Gran Turismo 7. However, one aspect to keep in mind is that LEGO Star Wars dropped on a Tuesday rather than a Friday, resulting in extra time for sales.

[Review] 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 12, 2022
Developer: Vanillaware
Publisher: Atlus
If any game is a shining example of the artistic potential of video games as a medium, I cannot think of a better recent example than 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. It is that rare type of narrative-driven experience that could only really exist as a game: a sprawling science-fiction epic with no less than 13 playable protagonists, that somehow manages to be both a beautiful side-scrolling adventure and a deep, exhilarating real-time strategy game. With so many moving pieces and a lengthy 40-hour runtime, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim could have very easily been a confusing, unfocused mess of a game, but somehow, all of these disparate elements fuse into nothing less than a masterpiece.
