Top Rated Games

Satisfactory Review

Satisfactory knows what it wants to be and it executes that near flawlessly.

Goodnight Universe Review

The story of Goodnight Universe is so good and the gameplay is so much fun, that it supersedes the need for any fancy tech. 

Platypus Reclayed Review

Platypus Reclayed really is impressive on every front. Far from being style over substance, it’s an immensely satisfying, yet challenging, shoot 'em up experience.

Dorfromantik Review

Call it cosy, call it chill, but Dorfromantik is something truly special.

SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance Review

If you want a ninja themed side scroller, then put SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance at the top of your list. It is quite simply flawless.

Accessory Reviews

Turtle Beach Racer Wireless Wheel Review

Turtle Beach are clearly aiming to remove those barriers with the Racer Wireless Wheel, a compact, all-in-one racing solution officially licensed for Xbox consoles and Windows PCs.

Maono PD200W Wireless Dynamic Microphone Review

There is no doubt that if you’re looking to declutter your desk, cut the cables and still come away with clean, dependable audio, the Maono PD200W Wireless Dynamic Microphone is well worth your attention.

Status Pro X Review

The Status Pro X buds are capable of handling every situation thrown at them. It helps that they sound great, feel brilliant in the ear, and are super simple to control.

Reviews

Baking Time Review

In tycoon terms, Baking Time is a bit of a dud.

I’m in Love With Your Dead Grandmother Review

Honestly, I’ve seen better home movies from police bodycams. I’m in Love With Your Dead Grandmother is a car crash of an FMV game, with the car crashing because the driver was mooning out of the window.

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass Review

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass’ writing is its shining beacon, lighting up some dark moments and being the main reason I wanted to stumble through to the end.

Tiny Biomes Review

There are clearly fans of path-making games on the Xbox, otherwise why would there be so many. But that creates a problem for Tiny Biomes.

CLAWPUNK Review

The action is so intense, there is barely a moment to rest, and so after about ten minutes with CLAWPUNK, I’m about exhausted.

Carmageddon: Rogue Shift Review

Carmaggedon: Rogue Shift is chaotic, challenging and consistently fun - and that’s despite the absence of online play. 

The Talos Principle 2 Review

You’ll find it a pleasure to step into the world of The Talos Principle 2. If you love puzzle games, then this is near perfect; a game full of challenge but backed by a great story.

Fit and Fry: Mise en Place Review

Like the first two games in the series, Fit and Fry: Mise en Place feels like a purchase for achievement hunters, more than anyone else.

Lost Ember: Rekindled Edition Review

This is far from a perfect remaster, and it can be a bit rough around the edges, but there is little to dampen the enjoyment of Lost Ember: Rekindled Edition.

THE LAST TRAIN: Baquedano Review

As enjoyable as it is, THE LAST TRAIN: Baquedano feels unique in the horror marketplace. There’s a severe lack of hand-holding, but the strange station that is ripe for exploration holds a host of brilliant secrets.

Majotori Review

Nerds unite! This may well be the quiz for you.

Lara Returns to the Castle Review

As a game that we’re meant to spend money on and enjoy? Lara Returns to the Castle probably shouldn’t have made it onto the Xbox Store. And that’s us being polite.

Baseless Review

On balance I very much enjoyed Baseless and I honestly can’t pick many faults at all. However, the strenuous gameplay will prove make or break for some, especially when the control niggles only make things more problematic.

Drop Duchy – Complete Edition Review

As unwelcome as Drop Duchy can be in its mid-game, I have no hesitation in saying that it’s worth it. Tetris is a pretty awesome foundation to build on, and Drop Duchy - Complete Edition stacks resource gathering, roguelike runs and simple strategy on top.

Countless Army Review

Countless Army is the most fun I’ve had in a game this year.

I Hate This Place Review

I Hate This Place is just about worth a whirl though, as you look to enter into some B-movie horror.

Heroes Battle Awakening Review

Heroes Battle Awakening is undeniably Plants vs Zombies. It just is: it borrows all of the mechanics and many of the troops. Strategies that worked for Popcap’s game will work well here.
