The Life is Strange comic series from Titan Comics, which is based on the episodic video game of the same name, was originally meant to be a mini-series consisting of only four issues. Needless to say, it clearly did well enough to earn the opportunity to continue the narrative further, with a fresh story arc titled ‘Waves’ arriving that focuses on the time-bending Max Caulfield and her best pal, Chloe Price, once more. So, without any more delay, let’s delve into Life is Strange Issue #5 and find out if it’s going to be making some waves on the comic book scene.

There’s not a lot I haven’t seen in the point-and-click genre, with experiences often featuring the likes of alien planets, devious sorcerers and a whole ton of clever puzzles to tax the old grey matter. Which begs the questions, what can Rumpus Animation conjure up to stand out in the ever-crowded market for such games? Well, we’re about to find out as Adventures of Bertram Fiddle Episode 1: A Dreadly Business has released on Xbox One and it’s taking us to Victorian London for a super serious adventure.

Battle Royale shooters are in no short supply these days, but Darkflow Software and Gaijin Entertainment have now brought Cuisine Royale to Xbox One via the Xbox Game Preview for free to bolster the options further.

The Deponia series had always been a point-and-click saga that eluded gamers who prefer the Microsoft brand of consoles, with only a solitary title reaching the Xbox One catalogue in recent years – the second instalment, Chaos on Deponia, oddly. Daedalic Entertainment, the developers and publishers behind these adventures, have decided to bundle the entire series together as the Deponia Collection for a release across all the major console platforms. Was it worth the wait to get the whole story at once, or will possessing the complete collection of four games feel somewhat like overkill?

The one-man indie development team of Nerdook first grabbed my attention with the immensely addictive rogue-like card-battler, Monster Slayers, which far exceeded expectations when it launched in 2018. Now it’s time for a brand new adventure; one that’s embracing the age-old tactical turn-based strategy genre and the art of dungeon crawling. But what can Reverse Crawl on Xbox One deliver that hasn’t been seen many times over in games of this ilk?

Artifex Mundi are well known for their Hidden Object adventures, but like anything, variety is the key to a good life and with that in mind we are seeing the team branch out on a point-and-click journey with the stunning looking Irony Curtain.
