Games with Gold: here are the 4 games offered on Xbox in April -
Geeko
In April, Microsoft selected four games from the Xbox One and Xbox 360 catalog for sale to Gold subscribers.
However, this selection is likely to disappoint more than one so much Microsoft seems to have made the bottom of drawer.
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
Games with Gold: here are the 4 games offered on Xbox in April - Geeko
The headliner for this month of April 2021 is of course the Diablo-like
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
, which is inspired by the classics of the genre while offering us a new setting with the frozen regions of the North.
The title had gone relatively unnoticed when it was released while receiving generally positive reviews.
Unlike a
Titan Quest
,
however
,
Vikings
is only playable solo.
No local cooperative play therefore.
It is nonetheless a very addicting action-RPG that seduces both with its varied bestiary and its superb settings.
Truck Racing Championship

Much more surprising is the addition of
Truck Racing Championship
to the list of games offered for the month.
This heavyweight racing simulation takes the official tracks and offers competitions against 11 other drivers on circuits designed to accommodate cars of more than 5 tons.
The extreme realism of this simulation makes it suitable for a niche audience.
So not sure that ordinary people will succumb to its charms.
Hard Cops Uprising

The good surprise of the month is undoubtedly the presence of the excellent
Hard Cops Uprising
in this selection.
This decidedly old-school title had managed to land phenomenal ratings in the specialized press when it was released, for its superb artistic direction but also the way in which it resuscitated a franchise that we thought was definitely buried.
For those who do not know,
Hard Cops follows
in the footsteps of a
Metal Slug
.
The game is however much more technical since it will be necessary here to take advantage of the covers and not to hesitate to lie down to avoid stray bullets.
He really shows all his potential together in a cooperative.
Dark Void

Dark Void,
on the other hand, is a very bad pick.
This title published by Capcom at the time on Xbox 360 had received very bad reviews given its summary realization but also its handling.
The concept was however very attractive since it embodied an adventurer equipped with a jetpack.
The handling of said jetpack is however a real abomination and the level-design of the game did not really lend itself to it.
Dark Void
clearly did not make an impression in its day.
He has never known a sequel.
