Fancy something a little different to the usual twin-stick shooting that has taken over the world? A bit of pinball perhaps? It's that which you are getting in Go Mecha Ball on Game Pass, Xbox and PC.Â
When Lord Tusk threatens to take over the world, there is only one hero for the job - Trunko. And it's that titular character with whom you get to know in Super Trunko Go on Xbox.Â
From the Ratalaika Games team, UltraGoodness on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch allows all those who played UltraGoodness 2 a couple of years ago the chance to go right back to the start; where chaos was born.
A twin-stick roguelite platformer, Revita has previously popped up on PC and Switch, gaining some decent acclaim. Now it's time for that game to allow Xbox and PlayStation players the chance to defeat, heal and ultimately, sacrifice.Â
It’s a massive shame that Blackwind is let down by the systems which should let it flow. If this came to market as a top-down twin-sticker with a few platforming elements and some decent metroidvania-styled puzzling, it would work really, really well.

Experiences like The Ascent don’t come along often. Game Pass may well turn out to be The Ascent’s redemption. This is an experience that’s best had in co-op, and a day one launch on Xbox’s service means that almost all obstacles are removed. So, find three friends and take your time with The Ascent, refuse to play in long sessions, and you and your partners will find worlds and gunplay that blow your augments clear off.
