Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters is a great addition to the RPG genre. While the story feels a bit throwaway and won’t be as impactful as more recent Final Fantasy games or 2025 masterpiece Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the gameplay is solid and unique. There’s a bit to dive into and the disc system allows for a lot of experimenting. Combat is easy to pick up but hard to master. If you’re looking for a new, unique, RPG to sink your teeth into, Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters is a great choice.
Psycho Dream is a fun, challenging 2D action platformer; it’s one of those Japan only game that never had the chance outside of the land of the Rising Sun and it’s fun seeing it getting a new lease on life. It has all the classic features; straight forward, challenging boss fights, enjoyable level design and interesting power ups. Once you get adapted to the “heavy” movements and weapon short range, you’ll find a nice hidden gem. If you’re a fan of 2D action games, Psycho Dream is a no-brainer.
In recap, Slimeboo is easy to play straight from the getgo. The gameplay is nothing new or gonna reinvent the platforming genre, however for a simple game that requires often counting ‘mississippi’ in your head to time your jumps, I find that if you just need a game to kill an hour or so between big, epic gaming sagas then this couple be perfect for you.
As a puzzle experience, Teeny Tiny Trains is good. The visuals are clean, and I like the audio. Moreover, the puzzles are tough but enjoyable. Although it frustrated me, I couldn’t stop until I solved each problem. Accordingly, it’s good, and I recommend getting a copy from the Xbox store!
Dungeons and Ducklings is a light, fun game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It’s easy to pick up, quick to play, and full of charm. The simple action, bright look, and short runs make it great for players of any age. It won’t blow you away with depth, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a small, cheerful adventure that delivers a good time without any fuss. You can purchase the game for Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S for a very low price of £4.19 HERE.
Blaster Force 3000 is an enjoyable, albeit sometimes irritating, indie shooter. It’s pretty straightforward and most levels are bite-sized, so you can enjoy this game while playing it in short bursts. The shooter feels a bit stiff, but nothing too cumbersome. Upgrading to new weapons doesn’t really do anything. If you’re looking for something short to chew on, you can’t go wrong with Blaster Force 3000, especially at this price.
Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition is a strong reminder of why this series made such an impact in the first place. It keeps the match‑3 combat fast and rewarding, adds enough modern touches to make the experience smoother, and delivers a steady loop that’s easy to fall into for hours at a time. It’s not trying to reinvent the formula, but it doesn’t need to; the core idea still works brilliantly. If you enjoy puzzle games with a bit of strategy and progression baked in, this is a simple, reliable pick‑up on Xbox that delivers exactly what it promises.
A Game About Digging A Hole was a nice, calm distraction from the chaos of all the multiplayer shooters. I found the whole experience oddly addictive and just ploughed through whilst listening to my favourite podcasts.
Morsels reminds me of titles like The Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon. If you enjoy the moreish, addictive nature of short, spontaneous bursts of gameplay, then you’ll enjoy this for sure. It’s weird yet wonderful, and with the Xbox Play Anywhere functionality, it opens many doors on the Xbox platform to play across all your devices. I highly recommend this if you’re into the twin-stick roguelite genre, which is fun to play yet difficult to master.
Bee Simulator: The Hive is a charming, family‑friendly expansion that refines the original game’s strengths—accessible flight, warm art direction, and gentle educational moments—while adding a satisfying hive‑building loop that gives players a clearer sense of progression.
Speed Factor is a fun and addictive racing game; nothing overly complex, easy to pick up and play with a lot of content for an indie; the game’s total of 50 races across 5 regions will keep players busy for a bit. A lot of bang for your buck. You can suffer through the abysmal engine noise and the simplicity of it, you’ll find a new gem here; although a few extra game modes would’ve been a nice touch. But as it stands, Speed Factor is one of the best indie games I’ve played this year. If you’re looking for a relaxing racer, I highly recommend this game.
Legends BMX is a great arcade-y BMX game. Easy to pick up and play (unlike the BMX street “game”) yet hard to master. While the game lacks in variety, the intuitive controls make it a blast to play, but mostly in short bursts. If you looking for a palette cleanser or something easy to pick up and, Legends BMX is a no brainer.
Frostpunk 2 is an outstanding sequel that goes deeper into the storytelling and survival mechanics. For the most part, the game ran smoothly on Xbox Series X without any visual hiccups, really. It’s a solid transition from PC to console, and I would urge anyone with an Xbox Game Pass subscription to give this experience a go. There is some patience required with the learning curve involved, and this may be frustrating to some. However, those who love RTS titles or anything involving survival strategy and mechanics will love what the game has to offer.
Dave the Diver is one of my favourite indie titles of all time. If you haven’t played it yet and you’re on the fence, I say just buy it with no hesitation. Part of me is extremely jealous of anyone who plays this for the first time, as it is fantastic. There aren’t many indie games I’ve played through multiple times, but this one is an exception. With Xbox Play Anywhere functionality, I’ve managed to play this on my Xbox Series X, gaming laptop and Lenovo Legion Go. The game is polished and well-presented across all devices, with no visual hiccups. With plenty of content, including two free DLC packs, it’ll keep you busy for anything between 25-50 hours, depending on whether you want to achieve everything on offer. You can purchase a copy of Dave the Diver for Xbox HERE.
The Cabin Factory is s surprisingly unique and enjoyable liminal horror experience. While the gameplay is limited, it does require a bit of thinking and investigating skills as the game will do things to throw you off. However, it is annoying that you have to start over everytime to miss a decision. Every horror game fans should definitely pick this up as it’ll keep you busy for an hour or so, depending on how your investigating skills are.
To be honest, just before Street Racer Collection released, I was on the hunt for a Super NES or PS1 copy of this game. Let’s just say that I’m not anymore. This is another scenario that the memories are better than the real thing. I remember having blast on the Super NES, but playing this collection made me realized that this game has not aged well. It can be good fun with friends, but this is another example of a game that should’ve stayed in the past. Unless you were a diehard fan of this series, this is an easy pass.
Verdict – A Brilliant Sim Trapped in an Unfinished Shell Project Motor Racing is a game of contradictions. Its physics are outstanding, offering one of the most satisfying driving experiences available on Xbox today. Its car classes feel distinct. Its tracks are enjoyable. Its wheel support is impressive. But everything surrounding that driving model — career mode, presentation, accessibility, AI behaviour, achievement design — simply isn’t ready. There is real potential here. With updates, patches, and refinements, PMR could grow into a top-tier sim racing title. But at launch, and after a hefty Patch it’s a game that feels more like a promising foundation than a complete package. For now, Project Motor Racing is a sim with brilliance under the hood, and frustration everywhere else. “Project Motor Racing delivers exceptional driving, but its surrounding systems desperately need work before it can challenge the best on Xbox.”
The game looks great as a whole; nothing revolutionary as it combines somewhat cutesy characters presented in a dark and depressing manner. Also the fact that there’s a lot of blood when killing enemies. There’s a decent variety in terms of dungeon design, but each level remains drab and depressing matching the game’s dark undertones. The soundtrack is an eerie and creepy affair that marries itself very well with the environments. While not really an issue per se, but the rogue like genre isn’t for everyone. Some gamers want to feel like they are making progress but losing everything when dying and having to start all over again can also be incredibly irritating. Also while enemies can shoot in all directions, Isaac can only shoot in four directions: left, right, up and down. If you’re a fan of the genre and have yet to dabble in Isaac’s mis-adventures, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is must play. It’s a complete package of all the content released for The Binding of Isaac. There’s a bevy of power-ups to use, fun and challenging boss fights to tackle and a plethora of endings to unlock for the completionists. Unfortunately, if you’re not a fan of the genre, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance will not change your mind as it can be incredibly rough at times; so much so that you’ll die in first level after barely exploring 1-2 areas. If you’re looking for a challenge, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is a must play.
I was staggered when I learnt that Silly Polly Beast is the work of a solo developer. There are several success stories of indie titles coming from the work of one individual, and this is absolutely one of them. You’d genuinely think that this was the work of a small indie team of developers because it’s super polished and mechanically sound in every area of the game. Combat is satisfying, the art style is fantastic, and the gameplay loop kept me engaged throughout the entire experience. If you’re after a memorable 10 or so-hour experience with a surreal, strange survival horror that is a delight to play, then give this your time. You can purchase the game for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S HERE for the worthy cost of £16.74.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion puts its peers on the ropes. This beat-’em-up will appeal to a large audience. If you love Streets of Rage or MARVEL, this will drive you crazy. The dated gameplay, pixelated visuals, and loud audience are brilliantly retro. Additionally, the ability to select your favourite superhero is a massive bonus. Accordingly, I think it’s great, and you should get a copy from the Xbox store!
