What's the Score?

Especially as LEGO Star Wars out Tuesday.

Ahh yes, the games of April... the state of the games of April...

Let's go with the following:

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - Releases April 5th.

Outside of Switch Sports, I feel like this is the only notable game coming out this month. So there's yer dinner.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition - releases April 7th.
Don't tell Cappa I've put another JRPG on here

Chinatown Detective Agency - Releases April 7th

Sorry everyone, no idea what this is other than some point and click game Mas recommended. I have no idea if this will get enough traction to get reviewed by the critics. Link to the steam page below. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1172190/Chinatown_Detective_Agency/


Nintendo Switch Sports - releases April 29th

Natch

I'll jot up the scores for March over the weekend.

I played Chrono Trigger through last year, it was class! I'll get Chrono Cross at some point. All other JRPGs are banned from the forum though.

My April Predictions:

Spoiler:

This month feels like it has a lot of scope to absolutely bugger me for the rest of the year.

I hope ya wrong Balla, as I don't want minus point on fantasy critic.

Why I think LEGO Skywalker do well is all that time in the oven and switch to the over the shoulder camera etc, that sort feels like a reboot for the LEGO series which was a tad stell.

I'm quite proud of the fact I got 3-3-3-3 in that last roundup of scores, despite not having a clue what I was doing. Here's hoping I can pull off something similar again...

Mr Consistency scores:

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I tended to this.

Here are the scores from March. I'll double post and put the April scores up in a moment...

Game 1: Project Triangle Strategy - 83% - This game did about as well as we all expected. Everybody was within 2 points of the target, but nobody was spot on!

Game 2: Chocobo GP - 65% - This was the month's wild card game. Guesses were all over the place, from as high as 80, to as low as 64. Crumpy got this one bang to rights, with Balla just 1 point shy.

Game 3: Ghostwire Tokyo - 77% - I'm annoyed this didn't do better for fantasy critic reasons. But Jimbob won't care, he got this predicted perfectly.

Game 4: Tiny Tina's Wonderland - 79% - I'm annoyed this did better than Ghostwire for fantasy critic reasons. Cappa doesn't care though - he was the only one to hit the nail on the head with this one.

How did we do?:

The overall leader board:

And now the scores from April...

Last month gave us Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - 82% - Pretty much the ballpark that most of us were expecting, but Rum managed to guess this one perfectly.

Chrono Cross: The radical dreamers edition - 76 - lower than most expected, Rum went closest on a guess of 75.

Chinatown Detective Agency 72% - Not the banger Mas was hoping for. Cappa knew this as he went perfect with his guess.

Nintendo Switch Sports - 73% - Crumpy got this bang on with a guess of 73, a few of us were clsoe and a few of us guessed low 80s on this one.

But what of the leader board for this month?

April roundup:

Overall standings:

And finally, the games of May are listed below! I feel like this month might be tough to predict as there don't seem to be any super safe bets here.

What do people think of wrapping up the season here and starting anew in June?

Game 1: Trek to Yomi - out May 5th - looks lovely

Game 2 - Evil Dead: The game - out May 13th - looks gory

Game 3 - Sniper Elite V - out May 26th - looks shooty

Game 4 - Kao the Kangaroo - out May 27th - looks bland

Least I'm above Andy, that's the main thing.

Yeah, season 2 in June sounds good as a Nintendo-centric Gaming Forum, they seem from June having 1 or 2 games a month come out, and goes from Not E3 to Not E3 as well,

May Games:

Stop the count. Unless I'm still first after this month in which case season 2 sounds good.

So this wasn't far off then.

May I guess better this month:

Rum was this month's runaway winner on a tiny score of 5.

Rum has shot up the table into the top 3 at the expense of Balla.

You guys seeing this? Guys? Are you seeing this? Guys?

Time to probably ruin it all:

Edit: Balla, is it just me or are spoiler tags not working?!

Stupid game press bigging up Trek to Yomi, and Devolver trying to be Annapurna this year.

I should probably make my own predictions. And also yes, I think the spoiler tags have gone a bit weird on the website.

Spoilywoily woo woo my liege:
