Garten of Banban 8 misses the target by some way.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 Xbox Series X|S Review

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is one of the best entries in the Yakuza franchise, so any chance to play it again is a welcome one.

Yakuza Kiwami Xbox Series X|S Review

At times, it will be blindingly obvious that Yakuza Kiwami is now a ten-year-old remake of a 20-year-old game.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin Review

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is certainly a better-looking game than the first one, but it feels like it plays it a bit safe in improving anything else really.

Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut Review

Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut is still the same Yakuza 0 - one of the best games in the entire franchise.

DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake Review

DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D REMAKE on Xbox may be a remake of games nearly 40 years old, but the work gone into their re-creation makes them instantly playable.

Terrifier: The ARTcade Game Review

As a side-scrolling beat ‘em up, Terrifier: The ARTcade Game is very generic, with nothing to really shout about.

Monster Hunter Stories Review

Monster Hunter Stories doesn’t really excel at anything, but it doesn’t do anything particularly poorly either.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Review

If this is your first time delving into Fallout 4, you will have a blast with the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition. But for the majority of other players this is aimed at, the new content doesn’t nearly celebrate the anniversary as much as hoped.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles Review

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles is a remaster that has been well worth the wait.

XENOTILT: HOSTILE PINBALL ACTION Review

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a pinball wizard, XENOTILT: HOSTILE PINBALL ACTION is the right amount of challenge for you. For newcomers, it may prove to be a bit too tricky at first, mainly due to the high difficulty and lack of real explanation as to what is going on. 

Axis Football 2026 Review

Axis Football 2026 allows you to customise a team and playbooks and comes with a good-looking Franchise mode, at least on the surface.

Wreckreation Review

Wreckreation feels a bit like a budget Burnout.

Kill the Brickman Review

Kill the Brickman’s attempt to add a roguelike to a brick-breaker is an inventive idea, but not the best execution of it. It lacks the complexity of a properly good roguelike and is hampered by some poor controls and shallow gameplay. There is fun to be had, but only in small doses.

DUCK: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper Review

Whilst it may be a little rough around the edges, those looking for a Warioware inspired game on Xbox have one here with DUCK: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper.

BALL x PIT Review

BALL x PIT is a mash-up of Vampire Survivors and Breakout, and it is just as addictive. Runs are short and explosive, and you can feel the improvements in between them, all lending itself to giving it one last try, again and again.

Electronics Puzzle Lab 2 Review

If you played the first Electronics Puzzle Lab, then there is absolutely nothing new here in Electronics Puzzle Lab 2.

Tiny Lands – Deluxe Edition Review

For a relaxing, chilled out game you can probably stick a podcast on to play, Tiny Lands – Deluxe Edition is worth a look.

Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition Review

Be prepared to play an awful lot of tile matching gameplay with very little variation in between. But if you want a game to dip in and out of, a game that is deep enough to be called an RPG too, you could do a lot worse than Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition.

S.P.E.A.R. Review

When S.P.E.A.R. gets even remotely difficult, it can feel like you’re not just fighting giant, flying eye bosses: you’re fighting the engine, too.

SOPA – Tale of the Stolen Potato Review

If you’re in the market for a Telltale-like episode of narrative goodness, then take a bow, SOPA - Tale of the Stolen Potato. This is not long, difficult or ambitious, but it never fails to be charming.

Delivery of Us Review

Delivery of Us is one of the better sliding puzzle games we’ve played, but it’s also one of the shortest. It’s very much a small parcel rather than a large letter. You might need to ration yourself a few levels a day to spread the experience out a wee bit.
