Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is a no-brainer. Whether you’re a fan of the genre and want to re-experience these classics or a newcomer looking for a starting point in the fighting gaming community, this collection is a great addition to your collection. This package contains some of the best of Capcom’s games, with a few hidden gems with less commercial success. While the controller isn’t the best to use, it won’t hinder your progress. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is one of 2025’s must buy games. It’ll definitely be worth every penny.
Combining objectives based missions and arena shooter mechanic makes Sker Ritual stand out from most shooters. Each map is unique and fun to explore, and it can easily be enjoyed solo or with friends. While the game won’t fully help you complete objective and you might have to be required to grind for points, it doesn’t deter from the overall experience. If you’re looking for a tense shooter with a unique twist, Sker Ritual is a must play.
I’m not saying that Farmer’s Life is a poor example of the genre. However, there are better games in this field (pun not intended). The controls are a little lacklustre, and the replay value is limited unless you fall for its farming charms. Additionally, the lack of guidance is annoying, and the additional tasks are plagued with problems. Accordingly, though I enjoyed my time with it, you may want to give it a miss. If you fancy buying a copy, visit the Xbox store here.
Post Trauma is a great, enjoyable, albeit short survival horror game. The environments, settings and characters all do their part to offer an unnerving experience. The fixed camera is a welcome addition and throwback to classic gaming. Despite its flaws; lack of map, backtracking, questionable voiceover and sometimes clunky movement, Post Trauma is a fun and creepy experience. I strongly recommend playing this little gem, whether you’re a long time fan of the genre or looking to dip your toes.
Fragpunk is a solid entry into the first person shooter genre. It is tough to tell whether this one will become a permanent fixture in the live service space or dissolve in the future. After 20 or so hours with this one, I am still enjoying the shard card and ranked modes. The true test of time is whether they keep changing up the formula, characters and weaponry to keep the appeal. If I had to explain this game in my own words it would be along the lines of CSGO and Valorant with its own unique twist. With the game being completely free to play on consoles and PC, it is well worth a try if you’re into your hero shooters or anything FPS related. I really struggled with crossplay on due to PC players potentially having faster reaction times, but there is the option to switch this off. As with any live service game, be prepared to spend a bit if you fancy some nicer skins or even unlocking features a bit quicker. Overall though, it is a shooter that is brings hours of fun if it hooks you in with the round based objective play.
Crime Scene Cleaner is unbelievably gruesome. The amount of blood and the disgusting nature of each location won’t be for everyone. Additionally, the use of drugs and crime may not appeal. However, if you can cope with virtual blood and the horrific nature of each chapter, you’ll adore every moment. I enjoyed it, and the fact that it’s on Game Pass makes it even better. Consequently, I think you should get your copy from the Xbox Store.
For me, Clair Obscur Expedition 33 really is a stand out with the turn based RPG genre and Sandfall Interactive have really brought the mechanics up to snuff to suit modern RPG standards to rival the big hitters like final fantasy. The world is insanely detailed and absolutely gorgeous, the combat although having slight pitfalls is incredibly interesting and majorly addictive and the main highlight has to easily be the story and characters and those jaw dropping cinematics that are seen throughout the experience. I went into Clair Obscur with an open mind but thinking it was going to be a run of the mill Turn Based RPG with some good visuals. However I was absolutely blown out of the water in every single way. This is a Turn based RPG that will truly stay with you many days, months and years after the release and I can tell this is going to be one that will change your mind if you have never been into these sort of turn based experiences. I loved my time with this game and I heavily recommended buying it or diving into it on Xbox Game Pass right now!
When I first started my time with KIBORG I was in two minds whether I was enjoying it or not. The first few runs are punishing whilst you gauge how the game functions and how to time and perfect your attacking and defending. The experience really blossoms when you start to unlock more within the skill tree which in turn allows you to become a little stronger each time you start a run. Replayability is there if you want to keep repeating runs and try and max out the skill tree whilst reaching the end game. It sure is a challenging game and there is a repetitive nature to it after several hours. However, the varience in weaponry, implants, floors and enemies within them could give you enough longevity to justify its reasonable cost for a polished and finished brawler.
The most disappointing part of Deepest Trench is how much wasted potential it represents. With a more refined approach to controls, a better balance in difficulty, and puzzles that actually make sense, this could have been a truly engaging underwater adventure. Instead, it feels like a game that punishes rather than challenges. For players looking for a rewarding cooperative experience, this isn’t it. It’s hard to imagine revisiting it anytime soon, and with so many better alternatives available, Deepest Trench fails to justify its place beneath the waves.
Though Pilo and the Holobook rarely tested me, I enjoyed it regardless. The colourful hand-drawn worlds were a pleasure to explore. Moreover, the audio is upbeat and pleasant to listen to. However, some soundbites were annoying, which was a shame. If you fancy a simple and mindless adventure, this could be right up your street. Alternatively, as a parent, I think this would be ideal for younger or less able gamers. As such, I enjoyed it and think you should pick up a copy from the Xbox Store.
A massive part of me wishes to scream about my hatred of this game! I hate it because it beat me so many times. However, it is a special game with so many amazing ideas. Moreover, no playthrough is the same, and the hellish learning curve makes it extremely rewarding. I may have been terrible at it, but my lack of basic foundations was to blame. Accordingly, if you love the card game, you will adore this video game adaptation, and you should buy a copy from the Xbox store!
Sociable Soccer 25 finally lands on the Xbox console and is a nice little nod for the older gamers out there, but also an evolution of the past for the gamers new to this style of play. Admittedly, I was a bit frustrated at first getting to grips with the control scheme and how the players reacted to my button presses, but over time the game grew on me and I was playing with more fluidity and keeping possession. Sometimes the AI feels a little stale and doesn’t appear to be as reactive as I’d like, but then I remember this doesn’t have the enormous team and budget that something like EAFC has. This is a casual take on the football genre, and I love that it finally makes its way to my favourite console, because there is always room for more footballing fun. For this one, though, the experience is short-lived for me without online multiplayer, and I feel like they are missing a trick by not including it. If you’re not one for competing online, then it still provides a great slice of fun alone or in local multiplayer with family or friends.
It is an incredibly beautiful title from a talented studio that will no doubt run with this and perhaps make future titles along these lines. I loved that the map wasn’t some vast expanse but instead a series of areas that were still large enough to explore, scavenge and experiment throughout. Also, I’ve never played a game where I can crack someone across the back of the head with a cricket bat, call me sadistic if you want, but it was hilarious and satisfying at the same time. Atomfall will nestle amongst one of the most memorable games of 2025 for me and is a must-play, especially if you’re on Xbox Game Pass.
I was actually looking forward to Pocket Bravery. I remember pre-ordering it like over two years ago when it was announced. But oh boy, the final result is highly disappointing. While the quantity of content is through the roof and is surprisingly as more diverse (if not more than) Street Fighter VI, the gameplay and feel of the game feels off and semi-responsive; complemented by cheap A.I.. Considering the price tag of this and high quality fighters available on Xbox, it’s hard to recommend Pocket Bravery.
Not everyone will agree with me when I say this is probably the best Assassins Creed game to date and that is totally OK. Whilst I can draw many comparisons to Ghost Of Tsushima and still find that game a bit better, it comes very close in terms of scope and polish. Assassins Creed Shadows features a map that is absolutely stunning, it feels lived in and full of intriguing and interesting wildlife. You can approach everything stealthily Tenchu style or go in and kick some ass. Yes the story is predictable and some of the missions are pretty much fetch quests or go and kill someone. But half the beauty of this game is exploration and engaging with the side quests, soaking in the cutscenes and admiring the season changes along with their elements. Whilst I wasn't lucky enough to receieve a review code, I feel I needed to write about this experience as it is up there as one of Ubisofts best for sure.
There’s something with The Last Hero: Journey to the Unknown, but unfortunately it falls short as a whole. The game offers a waves of enemies instead of traditional go from A to B type of level design, which is a nice change, boss fights are fun, albeit very easy and there’s a handful of enjoyable special attacks to purchase and use. But the questionable level design, questionable hit detection and restrained to using a short range sword does break a bit of the fun. The game is ideal for younger players in your family, but they might need some help for a few levels. If you can tolerate the shortcomings, it’s a nice, short adventure. Otherwise, there’s a myriad of better platformers available.
Breakout Beyond is another version of a great puzzle game from early age of gaming. Easy to pick up and play, great use of power ups and focus mode to help through some of the harder levels. However, it’s greatest feature is also its greatest downfall; lack of gameplay variety and replay value. If you’re looking for something different to keep you busy, Breakout Beyond is a great way to spend some time and money.
My Little Universe surprised me with its addictive gameplay loop to the point I kept coming back for more until I finished it. Whilst the game is never particularly challenging, you do feel a sense of progression as you dive deeper into each area. I put a little over 20 hours into the game, so there is plenty of content here if you want to achieve 100%. Whilst I couldn’t seem to get hands on with my Lenovo Legion Go alongside my Xbox Series X, I am looking forward to playing again in handheld mode. The game should be Xbox Play Anywhere on launch, so those with PC/Handheld devices should be able to get their fix.
Bleach Rebirth of Souls is great fighter that can stand on its own thanks to its unique approach and gameplay to the genre. The game offers a decent roster of 30+ characters out of the box, gameplay is easy to pick up and hard to master, and there’s enough gameplay content to keep players busy for months. Despite Story mode feeling more like a watching an anime (felt like 40% playing, 60% watching) and burying the shop under layers of menus in story mode, the gameplay is solid enough to sink its teeth into players. If you’re a long time fighting genre player or looking for some different, Bleach Rebirth of Souls is a must play.
Dwerve does a great job of peppering the gameplay with its wonderful story. However, the action is somewhat repetitive and the colour palette is a bit too grim for my liking. Though I found it to be fun, it wasn’t memorable. Despite this, you should pick up a copy from the Xbox store!
