There are some great ideas, and an admirable aesthetic, but when you can pick up better fighters such as SoulCalibur 6, Mortal Kombat X, Tekken 7 and even Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite for far less, it's hard to really justify the price.
The use of different flight options can almost act like a training simulator, but for those looking to invest in a drone without the hefty price tag, this would be a good place to start.
This game isn’t nice to look at, or to hear in the background, and the gameplay is inherently flawed. In fact, The Adventures of 00 Dilly isn’t recommended for anyone to play.
Overpass on Xbox One just about fills a spot in the racing genre without it ever really being a game for the racing fan. In fact, if you’re looking for all-out speed then I’d tell you to stay as far away as possible. This is instead a precision motorsport brawler that pits you against the clock and tells you to get on with it - faults and all. While the Career is reasonable fun, working well across the obstacle courses, the sheer hellish nature of some of the hill climb events knock this off-roading beast down a notch or two, quite possibly causing far too much frustration and annoyance for anyone outside of the ‘scene’.
For a real challenge, and for a quick blast when you have a few moments to kill, One Finger Death Punch 2 on Xbox One is perfection. It’s not the deepest game ever, but it’s not trying to be: it’s been designed to deliver fast, fun, furious martial arts mayhem, and as such it’s a success.
Vasilis on Xbox One is a very interesting take on an intriguing and social-political premise that is steeped in recent Ukrainian history. The visuals are really exciting and as a game it manages to tell so many stories with its abstract hand-drawn style mixed with the terrifying reality of the situation. The gameplay itself is less satisfying though and you may well find yourself lost far too many times.
Edgar – Bokbok in Boulzac is the title in the spotlight here and, in a nutshell, it tells the tale of a man and his faithful companion, a hen. Inspired by the likes of Night in the Woods, Monkey Island, and Sam & Max, the aim is to deliver a narrative-focused adventure, with a relaxing vibe and a zany edge to it. Will Edgar – Bokbok in Boulzac be seen as a memorable experience worth taking in, or is it a journey to forget?
Knightin’+ on Xbox One delivers a nostalgic 16-bit romp through 80’s era The Legend Of Zelda and manages to deliver many of its core tenets in a satisfying and self-aware way. Whilst the game may only take up to a couple of hours to complete, the low price point, engaging gameplay and overall atmosphere make this a title worth looking into.
It’s not going to set the world on fire, but Hovership Havoc is certainly worthy of a closer look. And if you like spaceships and twin stick shooters with a twist of rogue-like action then this will fill a gap.
Having won over the masses on PC already, it’s time to find out whether Two Point Hospital thrives on Xbox One or if it is instead plagued with the usual porting issues and in need of an indefinite stay on a ward.
Spaceland on Xbox One is a game that wears X-COM influences on it’s sleeve, including tons of references to other pop culture stalwarts like Gears of War and Duke Nukem.
