Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

9.5/10

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a beautifully inventive, heart-breaking experience of love, loss, and the will to survive.

Blue Prince

10/10

It is an impeccably made work of absolute genius, and the team at Dogubomb and Game Director Tonda Ros have worked magic here. As I said at the start of this review, I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever played. Without a doubt a shoe-in for indie...

South of Midnight

8.5/10

South of Midnight is a stunningly beautiful and moving experience. While the gameplay doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, it combines excellent writing and music to move your soul in ways only the best games can. This title is an enormous step-up for Compulsion Games, and I hope this isn’t...

Atomfall

7.8/10

Atomfall is best when it’s difficult. While I had a few issues with the story, my main concern is the crashing I experienced on Xbox. If that is smoothed out this one is an easy recommendation for those with patience. It can be brutal, but it’s oddly endearing and full...

Inzoi

NaN/10

I’m really happy with the features that are available in inZOI right now and I’m really looking forward to what will be added in its future. Right now, I hope the developer can resolve some of the more basic but key features such as more hair styles and presets for...

Wanderstop

8.3/10

Wanderstop doesn’t tell a brand-new story, rather it has a unique way of showing it. Mechanically, you are obligated to complete the tasks at hand, but you aren’t time. You do it at your own pace, let the mind wander, so to speak.

Split Fiction

10/10

Split Fiction is, at its heart, a celebration about how wonderful, imaginative and downright clever videogames can be when they choose to embrace what they are – an art form that thrives on interactivity, creativity, and boundless possibility. Hazelight have proven that once again, when it comes to building distinct...

Monster Hunter Wilds

7.5/10

Overall there’s been a fair bit of negativity in this review. I hope the post-launch support brings the gear grind that series veterans know and love. As things are at launch if you have a group of friends to play with it will be a fun, albeit easy 30 to...

Eternal Strands

8.2/10

Eternal Strands is a fantastic first title from Yellow Brick Games. It’s an IP I hope to see more of in the future, as its excellent gameplay felt like a breath of fresh air for the genre.  It’s out Day One on Game Pass and even in this bloated 2025...

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap

7.3/10

One of the biggest surprises, and I’m hoping a Day One patch can fix it, is the performance on console. Previous Orcs Must Die! games looked and ran well on the console. This one feels like it might be 60 while looking incredibly fuzzy. It’s difficult to say exactly what...

Tails of Iron II: Whiskers of Winter

9/10

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a thoroughly enjoyable Metroidvania with detailed action-RPG mechanics, that still offers challenging soulslike combat without feeling like a punishing ride on its easiest mode. On it’s normal and hard difficulties, the game offers a grind that will leave you feeling tested at best, and a...

Sniper Elite: Resistance

7/10

Sniper Elite: Resistance is available on Day One on Game Pass, and that’s how I’d recommend anyone but the most ardent fan of the series plays it. At $60 MSRP it’s a big ask for something that can be completed in a night or two. While there is some replay...
