Mundaun
This is an incredibly unique title and in my opinion, well worth the effort that has clearly been poured into it. Considering how highly detailed the original sketches must have been this really is a work of art in video game form, that needs to be seen to be believed. Mundaun...
Adios
Adios touches on the passing of time and the effects that events have on all things afterwards in subtle and clever ways. This is not your standard ‘Walking Simulator’ and instead, the primary focus, thanks to well written and well acted script is to make you ask yourself some deep...
Pacer
Despite some of these flaws, I still found myself coming back to the game again and again, trying to win the next event or beat my best times. The game is fun, beautiful, and unique enough to stand out. Fans of anti-gravity racers have been left starving lately and Pacer...
Desperados III
At full price I would say make sure you know exactly what this game is before buying it. It’s excellent, but this genre isn’t going to be for everyone. On Game Pass though this one is a no-brainer to give a try. The install size isn’t huge, but the amount...
It’s fair to say, there’s a lot going on under the hood in Killer Queen Black. The potential here is – just like with Rocket League when it came to Playstation Plus, for Killer Queen Black to be a breakout title on Xbox, and thanks to the population that can...
In Chapter 15 this was repeated again. Having level 52 characters after 60 hours play it was still necessary to grind my way to level 60 to be able to compete with the under boss. As you can imagine, these spikes can be a bit of a nightmare,...
Little Nightmares II then – a grimy, grotesque and greasy journey through a city of nightmares, it’s inhabitants a collection of melted skin and incorrect proportions, a twisted take on the world around us, with everything good and pure buried under an all powerful darkness. A journey worth not just...
Project Winter looks and plays really well. The in-game comms system has a quite different sound design than we are used to these days, and hearing your companions voices fade out as the distance between you grows can induce some mild panic. The game has plenty of depth and detail...
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is one of my favorite videogames of all time. It cannot be stated just how incredible the work that 343 Industries and multiple other studios have put into it over the past 5+ years to get it here. Any future compilation of titles should look...
The good in this game is forced to carry you through the bad, which in some ways, is the gameplay itself, where a lack of challenging puzzles, a shallow yet innovative dual reality mechanic, and an over reliance on exposition pull you out of the detailed and interesting story Bloober...
Tonally this 3rd season is less goofy overall, particularly with the in-game NPC dialogue and mission structure, with the game often taking itself a little more seriously. However, there are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the inherent ridiculousness of Agent 47’s dead pan delivery and Poe-faced cosplaying.
Monster Train
Monster Train is an excellent title that shamelessly apes from my previous favorite in the genre: Slay the Spire. If you liked the Game Pass title at all, then know that this one is even better in every single facet. It features some of the best diversity in the genre...
