Yakuza Kiwami 3 on Xbox Series X is a brilliant remake that preserves the tone and atmosphere of the franchise, whilst modernising the experience. If you’re a die-hard Yakuza fan like myself, then you’ll love this one. Having this as a double release with two different angles shows just how talented and strong Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are. Kiwami 3 will offer you a huge feast of content with an engaging storyline, plenty of action, turf wars, and more. Dark Ties is a shorter campaign, which will take around 15-20 hours to finish, which is a welcome addition when Kiwami 3 takes around 60-70 hours.
WWE 2K26 is a fantastic wrestling game that captures the excitement, drama, and spectacle of WWE in a way few games manage. The expanded roster, engaging match types, and polished gameplay combine to create an experience that feels lively and incredibly entertaining. From intense rivalries to chaotic hardcore matches, every bout feels like a highlight reel waiting to happen. But above all else, WWE 2K26 succeeds because it’s simply so much fun to play. It captures the joy of professional wrestling — the unpredictability, the drama, and the unforgettable moments that keep fans coming back for more. If you’re a wrestling fan on Xbox, stepping into the ring with WWE 2K26 is an experience you won’t want to miss. WWE 2K26 delivers one of the most entertaining wrestling experiences in years — a vibrant, action-packed celebration of the WWE universe that’s simply too much fun to put down.
High On Life 2 takes all the exceptional qualities from the first game and expands on them. I adored my time with the 2o hours, or so I had with this sequel, and it’s such a unique and clever game. There aren’t many games out there that have you constantly chuckling and beaming from ear to ear consistently throughout. Squanch Games has a very talented team behind them, and what they have created again is a hilarious romp in another bizarre yet intriguing setting full of comedic moments, satisfying gameplay and just a bloody great time. If you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, I urge you to give it your time; it’s simply brilliant. New to the game? Not an issue, since it’s accessible even if you missed the original adventure. The story and mechanics will introduce themselves so you’re not left confused in any way. If you have the time, though, I would recommend giving High On Life a go; it isn’t a necessity, however. Fancy buying a copy of High On Life 2 instead of playing with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? Then you can purchase a copy of the game for Xbox Series X|S right HERE!
Docked turns the complex world of port logistics into a thoughtful and engaging simulation experience. Operating massive machinery, managing cargo shipments, and slowly rebuilding Port Wake creates a steady and satisfying progression loop. While repetition and slower pacing may limit its appeal for some players, the core gameplay remains rewarding for fans of simulation titles. Docked may not be the most glamorous game on the docks, but it proves that even the everyday work of moving cargo can make for an enjoyable and immersive experience. Docked offers a surprisingly engaging simulation of port logistics. It’s a slower, more methodical experience, but players who enjoy managing machinery and logistics will find plenty to enjoy on the docks.
Cash Cleaner Simulator is a clever and surprisingly addictive experience. It’s the perfect game to zone out to, thanks to its methodical play. Once you get used to the slightly awkward controls, it is an engaging and enjoyable time. If you’re on PC, I’d say this is the best place to play, as the game seems more suited to mouse and keyboard, despite being controller-friendly. For a very reasonable cost of £16.74 for the base edition of the game, it is well worth your time if you are into a low-pressure and casual sim that is perfect with a podcast or a bit of background music. If you fancy it, you can purchase a copy of the game for Xbox Series X|S HERE.
I played the original and didn’t know how they could better it. Amazingly, Planet of Lana II goes one step further. The lore, characters, settings, and puzzles are fascinating, interesting, and a joy to experience. Moreover, the pacing is brilliant, and the core mechanics never outstay their welcome. Accordingly, it is a breath of fresh air, and you must get a copy from the Xbox store!
Scott Pilgrim EX is an enjoyable game. It follows the beat’em up template to a tee and doesn’t take any risks. Despite its questionable pacing and random attribute upgrades, the game is a fun and challenging with a surprisingly addictive combat system. Boss battles provide a fair challenge and this genre is always a good time with a friend. If you enjoy the genre, Scott Pilgrim EX is a decent entry but feels like it could’ve been more.
If you enjoy chill, creative games with a unique twist — or you just love the idea of flipping houses while negotiating with the occasional friendly ghost — Haunted Renovator Simulator is absolutely worth your time. It’s relaxing, quirky, and surprisingly heartfelt, making it a standout addition to the Xbox library.
For fans of bullet hell and like a challenge it is a compact, focused experience that prioritises mechanical mastery over pressing buttons as fast as you can to progress. At its budget-friendly price point, it offers an incredible amount of “bang for your buck,” provided you have the patience to learn its patterns and not get flustered. It is a bleak, challenging, and ultimately addictive experience that proves you don’t need a massive budget to create a compelling world. Just be prepared to die…a lot.
Ride 6 on Xbox Series X|S is not a radical reinvention of motorcycle racing. It doesn’t shatter genre expectations or redefine sports sims. What it does instead is refine, respect, and celebrate the art of riding. It offers satisfying handling, strong audiovisual presentation, meaningful progression, and a clear passion for motorcycles that shines through in every detail. Yes, there are areas that could be improved — minor control tweaks, expanded event variety, more dynamic AI — but none of them overshadow the core experience. For bike enthusiasts especially, this feels like a game built with you in mind. And that passion makes all the difference.
Clue: Murder by Death on Xbox is a solid detective experience that modernises the classic formula with atmosphere and immersion. Its early hours are genuinely gripping, and its presentation — especially in audio and environmental design — creates a satisfying sense of suspense. The move from board game abstraction to explorable mystery is a smart evolution.
Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is good, but it could be better. The latter half of my review feels quite negative, but I enjoyed Soulslinger: Envoy of Death. The core concept is solid, and I love the story and the characters. Furthermore, the audio is excellent, and there is considerable potential. However, I cannot ignore the negatives. Thankfully, each of these development points can be ironed out, and when this happens, it will be an incredible arena-based shooter. Accordingly, I recommend buying it and playing it with an open mind!
Stealth is the name of the game. Therefore, Styx is as slow as a snail, and this isn’t a problem. Instead, it makes you think outside the box when it comes to conflict. You are not rewarded for being a hero. Hiding, throwing items, and distractions are a must. Thankfully, the control system supports this approach, and there are numerous on-screen labels to assist you. This approach is going to assist newcomers to the franchise and will help genre experts settle into the madness. Replay value is off the charts. Despite its old-school mechanics, Styx: Blades of Greed is stupidly addictive. There are so many ways to complete a level, and the unique items and skills give you almost endless choices. Consequently, you can tackle a mission or traverse the world in countless ways. Styx: Blades of Greed is an excellent game. Styx: Blades of Greed is a refreshing romp down memory lane. I love its silly story, the excellent mechanics, and the near-endless replay value. With loads of abilities, plenty of crude jokes, and a great world to explore, this will appeal to many gamers. Accordingly, I recommend getting a copy from the Xbox store!
Romeo is a Dead Man is an absolute banger to start off the year with. Combat, albeit straightforward, is fun and addictive. There’s a decent weapon variety, boss battles are quite challenging, but fair and will keep you on your toes. The myriad of mini-games adds a layer of variety on top of the over the top 3D action. While the subspaces do become a flow breaker, especially in the latter parts of the game, it’s not a deal breaker. If you’re looking for a fun, unique and varied action game, or you’re simply a SUDA51 fan, Romeo is a Dead Man is a no-brainer. Highly recommendeded.
I loved the gameplay and the stealth elements. Moreover, wearing different costumes to trick people was amusing. However, the ropey visuals were not that much fun. There are texture problems, bugs, and some frame rate issues. Additionally, it lacks detail, and that was annoying. Yet, you get used to the problems, and they fall by the wayside. The audio is a little repetitive, and the acting was somewhat wooden. This didn’t matter as American Theft 80s focuses on the corny nature of the 80s era. Therefore, it works well with the theme and the grim characters involved. The controls aren’t perfect, but the use of radial menus and a clear tutorial helps to clear things up. This would probably be better with a mouse and keyboard, as it would be easier to select items and adjust your gear. Despite the problems, I mastered the controls in no time. If you fall for its crime-riddled ways, you can play either the free mode or the story mode. This creates an almost never-ending thief simulation that varies during every playthrough. American Theft 80s is fun despite its issues. If you want a highly polished experience, American Theft 80s won’t be your thing. It is janky and riddled with annoying elements. However, it is fun, sneaky, and a great twist on the developer’s original title. I loved the 80s theme, the filthy characters, and the learning curve. Therefore, I think it’s good, and I recommend grabbing a copy from the Xbox store!
I’m a huge fan of RPGs, and I particularly love an isometric viewpoint. This freedom and wide scope of vision complements the large open world. Alongside this, the grid-based system is familiar and makes each combat situation easy to follow. The use of lighting and earthy colours creates a sinister and dark atmosphere. The audio supports this with a blend of moody, minor-toned songs and energetic and dramatic tunes. However, it is the voice acting that truly shines. I was impressed by the quality and how well it delivers the story. Additionally, the sound effects have a nice fantasy edge, and the ambient sounds reflect the journey you are enduring. There is plenty to learn and loads of elements to understand, but Disciples: Domination takes things slowly. The learning curve enables both hardcore fans and newcomers to grasp the fundamentals. Moreover, you never feel out of control of any situation. Subsequently, this has a nice feeling of inclusivity despite the layers of ideas working away in the background. The branching storylines generate huge replay value. If you want to mix things up, you could tackle the 30 to 40-hour playtime repeatedly. Disciples: Domination is a great fantasy experience. I love the genre and the franchise, and despite my small complaints, Disciples: Domination is a great fantasy experience. I love the story and the different protagonists. Moreover, the overworld is interesting, and the relationship between the factions was fascinating. However, it has a repetitive edge that cannot be ignored. Moreover, the slightly un-Disciples moments could annoy hardcore fans. Despite this, it is good fun, and I recommend getting a copy from the Xbox store!
Pure Pool Pro is a technical masterpiece in this genre. The moment you load up the game, you’ll see the strengths of the experience from the get-go. Exceptional presentation right across the board, deep focus on the mechanics of ball and cue movement makes for the most realistic pool simulation on the market today. I’d love to see a little more love go into the online competitive side of the game, but I’m sure the close-knit team will take all feedback into account going forward. I can easily recommend this game at its extremely reasonable cost of £19.99. If you purchase the game in the first couple of weeks, you’ll get a nice 20% discount. You can purchase the game on Steam HERE or Playstation 5 HERE. We, as a team, are looking forward to the game arriving on Xbox Series X|S in the near future. For our Xbox readers, keep your eyes peeled for this one, as Pure Pool Pro has racked up and sunk this entry with style.
With plenty of claustrophobic feeling of dread and constant threat at nearly every turn, Reanimal handles the tense pace beautifully with a mixture of graphics, lighting and sound. Jump scares are used to great effect, really setting the feel and tone by starting off small, being used just enough to not make you expect them but still keeping you on your proverbial toes constantly expecting something to jump and try to eat, crush or stomp you. The style and look of the various enemies you meet as you progress is truly unsettling at times and the attention to detail in the dark worn down and decaying world around you is amazing, from grass and trees swaying in the breeze, to mud puddles splattering underfoot as you run through them. Add all this to a tight, chilling and genuinely unsettling at times narration and it delivers something fresh and special. I was feeling shades of an even more twisted version of reality than even the town of Silent Hill delivers with how the story feels somewhat psychological aswell as deeply emotional. It makes you think, it makes you wonder and it makes you go ‘Eeep!’ many times. And at the low-end entry point of only £34.99, it would be kind of crazy not to consider adding this title to your collection with the amount of entertainment on offer. The game is by no means the longest of its type, but it never feels like you’ve been short changed as the content, while it lasts, delivers an engrossing and powerful experience. Especially when enjoyed with a friend. Whether you’re a fan of Tarsier Studios‘ previous games or even just a fan of dark, gothic style survival horror adventure games with plenty of atmosphere as a whole, then this game comes highly recommended from this fan of the genre. Try it, you shan’t be disappointed.
Heart of the Forest is another banger brought to you by Wales Interactive. The game features a great story where you see characters descending into madness. The acting is enjoyable; not too cringe or over the top. The setting and ambiance is top notch and can be enhanced with headphones. While you do get used to the clipping post-conversational choices, the flickering becomes annoying towards the latter end of the game. That being said, Heart of the Forest remains a great experience with a lot replay value. Whether you’re a fan of the genre or looking to dive into, this is a great one. Don’t miss it.
While I’ve been a casual fan of the MK series over the years (MK2 on Super NES was my jam), Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection leaves me disappointed. While I did enjoy revisiting the few I played back in the day or finally get my hands on entries I never played such as the arcade games, the brutal A.I., even on Extra Easy, can make this incredibly frustrating. Newcomers trying to get their footing in will find nothing but frustration especially when some games actually read player input and react instantly. Unless you’re a die-hard MK fans who needs everything in their collection, I recommend you avoid yourself some frustrations or wait for a sale.
