It’s a complex and rewarding evolution of Reus that’s best enjoyed on PC, while console players may want to wait for some much-needed polish.
The collection mechanics are there, the humor is there, but the spark that makes those games feel alive is missing. Without local co-op, smart level design, or satisfying progression, all the nostalgia in the world cannot save it.
For the spooky, maze-loving, late night crowd, there’s enough here to justify the buy, especially on Xbox where console horror is always welcome.
Alien: Rogue Incursion – Evolved Edition is a solid, if imperfect, step back into the Alien universe on console.
Silent Hill f is not a flawless triumph, but it is a haunting, modern horror that pushes the franchise forward in interesting ways. If you are open to change, drawn to layered narratives, and don’t mind wrestling with combat mechanics, you should play this.
Frostpunk 2 is a daring, dense, and compelling sequel. Not perfect, but for those who love harsh strategy and moral drama, it is an evolving masterpiece. And we don’t get a lot of those on Xbox, so happy to have another must-play game for strategy fans.
If you loved DL2 for its systems, you may miss some of those, but for those who missed Crane-era action, this is a treat.
For fans of DRG, it is more than fan service: this is a thoughtful pivot into a different genre while holding onto what made DRG beloved.
Order of Giants gives players who enjoyed The Great Circle another chance to step into Indy’s shoes and crack some satisfying puzzles. It tells a story that feels true to the character, with enough intrigue to justify its existence. It looks good, runs well, and captures the spirit of the franchise. But it also leaves you wanting more.
The new Vault Hunters make combat more dynamic than ever, even if their personalities disappoint. It may not be the definitive Borderlands experience, but it proves the franchise still has plenty of firepower left.
With friends by your side and a pile of upgrades at your disposal, the game transforms into a thrilling ride of roguelite mayhem.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater proves that visual fidelity cannot mask outdated gameplay. It is a gorgeous reminder of a classic, but not a compelling experience for 2025. For new players, it will feel awkward and punishing. For veterans, it may spark nostalgia but also frustration.
Discounty has plenty of charm in its quirky setting and addictive store-management loop, but it never fully smooths out its clunky controls or uneven pacing. There is fun to be found, especially if you enjoy offbeat life sims, yet it feels more like a curious diversion than a lasting staple.
Killing Floor 3 is a blood-soaked good time that nails the essentials of co-op combat but struggles to build much beyond that. It is worth a spin with friends, especially if you loved the series before, but it still feels more like a polished iteration than a true evolution.
Death Relives is a game I wanted to like more than I did. Its cultural grounding is commendable, and there is a kernel of a great horror experience in its premise. But the weak voice acting, dated visuals, questionable environmental design, slow pacing, and repetitive mechanics kept me from ever feeling fully engaged.
Survivalist: Invisible Strain offers a unique take on zombie survival. It is not as polished as bigger-budget games, but it compensates with depth, personality, and a world that rewards curiosity.
Beautiful to look at, worth experiencing for the atmosphere and story, but ultimately weighed down by gameplay that refuses to evolve. Like a treasured heirloom, it is meant to be appreciated, not necessarily played over and over.
The PvE foundation is excellent, and with a few updates to PvP balance and matchmaking, the game could become a genre staple. Right now, it is a bit of a wild ride, but one worth taking if you have the right crew.
This is a lovely game that rewards patience and empathy, and is best enjoyed with a relaxed mindset and a soft spot for massive creatures with big sleepy eyes.
