Back to the Dawn is a rare example of a game that tackles the realities of incarceration with seriousness and respect. It offers a challenging, thoughtful RPG experience where every choice matters, and the consequences are tangible and often harsh. This is not a game for casual play or lighthearted escapism. Instead, it demands your full attention and empathy as it explores the complex human stories within prison walls. For gamers interested in deep narrative, strategic gameplay, and a sobering examination of justice and survival, Back to the Dawn on Xbox Series S is an essential experience.
s.p.l.i.t is a brilliant, atmospheric, and deeply nostalgic hacking horror game that’s over far too soon. It doesn’t have the staying power to hook everyone, but for a certain kind of player—especially those who fondly remember the days of “C:>”—it’s one bleak, stylish trip well worth taking. Here’s hoping Klubnika returns to this world and lets us dig a little deeper, one keystroke at a time.

Camper Van – Make it Home doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It takes a simple, satisfying concept and executes it with care, polish, and a genuine sense of warmth. It’s a game that understands the value of comfort, routine, and personal expression, and it delivers those things in spades. While it’s not without its flaws – the lack of player presence and narrative depth may leave some wanting – it more than makes up for it with its inviting atmosphere and satisfying gameplay loop. It’s the kind of game you can return to again and again, whenever you need a bit of digital escapism and a reminder that sometimes, the simplest pleasures are the best.
Prison Alone is a tightly focused, atmospheric horror experience that proves you don’t need jump scares to be genuinely unsettling. Its disorientating level design, oppressive soundscape, and ambiguous narrative combine to create a memorable hour of psychological terror. The only real downside is its brevity and lack of replay value—but for the price, it’s a small complaint.
Date Everything is a glorious, ridiculous, and surprisingly heartfelt celebration of connection in all its forms. It’s not perfect—the sheer number of characters means some storylines are thinner than others, and the time-based mechanics can feel a bit fiddly—but it’s bursting with charm, wit, and creativity. The voice cast is a who’s who of the industry, delivering performances that elevate even the silliest scenarios. If you’re looking for a dating sim that’s as much about laughter as it is about love, Date Everything is an absolute treat.
