The years have been kind to Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered, and its arrival on Xbox and Xbox Game Pass should win it legions of new fans.
Justice Sucks: Tactical Vacuum Action is a refreshingly original title that strikes a brilliant balance for players, offering an experience that is accessible, addictive and - above all else - an astounding amount of fun.

The original AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES reached Xbox shores a little later than other platforms, but my god did it deliver a delightfully sinister and quite bonkers investigative adventure at the back end of last year.
