A couple of niggles don't stop Shooty Fruity from being a fun time - but watch out for those grapes. Pack a shotgun.
A bland, soulless horizontal SHMUP that is extremely basic and by the numbers. Interesting boss designs don't do enough to hold the rest of the game up. In such a crowded genre there are much better options.
A deeply thought-provoking and mature psychological horror game that honours its influences without relying entirely on nostalgia.
HITMAN 3 is a satisfying conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy, but makes a few missteps that make the game feel less impactful. This game is a must-buy for any Agent 47 fanatics and is a promising sign that Hitman is still relevant in the modern games industry.
This is a short title but one that is still a lot of fun. It's a Go exclusive so don't expect too much and you'll be happy with it.
Colonials Programme is a fun game with a few bumps along the way. If you soldier your way through a rough beginning, you'll find a game that has been crafted quite well. With that being said, the beginning is a slog that is likely to lose some of the users before being given a fair chance.
Startup Panic is fun for its first few hours, but tails off quickly. It's cute art and music will keep you interested, but once you stop playing you are unlikely to return to this office.
Glitch's Trip is a beautiful looking, 2D platforming, twin-stick action game that will challenge and destroy you, but it is so cute and charming you will keep coming back for more. With 100 unique levels and challenges there is tons of replayability here.
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is a shockingly excellent, cooperative looter-slasher with an incredible visual style that breathes new life into the game to make it feel like a different, yet complete, experience and it's absolutely free.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is a great rhythm game that is sure to be enjoyed by newcomers and veteran players of the genre. However, if you're buying it for the story you should probably skip this. This isn't the Kairi game fans have been pining for since the Re:Mind DLC.
A simplistic puzzle game that doesn't take a long time to learn how to play, but requires you to look and rotate the level to navigate your box to the portal to advance. A great game to play to relax and work your mind.
A psychological horror game full of puzzles that make you afraid to do anything in your house, including getting out of bed. The game deals with depression, isolation and how that affects your inner dialogue and feelings.
Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a solid sequel to 2018's entry. Some unfortunate polish issues and inconsistent puzzle difficulty stop it being great. Larry is the same oblivious, sexist, backwards thinking womaniser he's always been but this adventure might help him grow… might!
Hivebusters is a safe but rewarding package that gives you more of what you love about Gears 5. The characters are strong, the campaign is solid, and gameplay is exactly what is expected. If you are a fan of Gears 5, then this expansion is a no brainer and is easily another reason to get Game Pass.
A decent adventure title which, despite its slow pace, just barely manages to earn its keep with combat, puzzle and exploration gameplay. It doesn't live up to its predecessor, but it doesn't seem like it's trying to.
An epic open-world Action RPG with a tonne of content and genuinely enjoyable exploration makes for a great new IP. There are a few niggles with controls and loading times, and it's not always clear what you need to do, but when the game is this much fun, I'm happy to overlook those.
Great mech design and accessibility cannot save Override 2: Super Mech League from it's weightless, lifeless gameplay. The maps often come across as too small, leading to cluttered fights that really affect the games flow.
A satisfying take on the Commandos genre. Partisans 1941 allows players to walk through the brutality of the Second World War, searching for a beacon of hope on the other side.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition takes an already amazing JRPG and gives it just enough to make it even better. Noticeable performance drops aside, this is one title everyone should experience.
Unto the End is a scenic, lonely 2D side-scroller that sets its primary focus on a fixed number of intense battles with its unique combat system that is difficult to learn, but satisfying is master. There is no hand-holding here, though sometimes you might wish there was.
