It is a little rough around the edges, and there are annoyances, but the core gameplay and the way the sniping is handled makes it a game that I can recommend if you are looking to scratch that sniping itch.
Stories are powerful things. They can be educators in morality or living correctly. They can provide warnings for behaviour patterns and hidden dangers. They can comfort us, scare us, love us and make us feel like the world is a mysterious and beautiful place. Stories are powerful things. So when a game called Where the Water Tastes Like Wine comes over from PC to Xbox One, all while promising a game about storytelling, I just had to open my ears and listen.
Shoddy writing and convoluted plot points spoil what is an initially interesting premise. And there is a complete lack of atmosphere, which calls into question Just Ignore Them’s status as a horror game to begin with. Unless you’re looking for some easy Gamerscore, just ignore it.
Wizards of Brandel on Xbox One is entertaining enough, and if you haven't played a KEMCO game before then this is as good as any to start with. It’s actually possibly a bit better than most for the KEMCO novice; quite easy on normal difficulty and never too stressful.
NHL 20 on Xbox One is a great hockey game, with advanced physics, new exciting and engaging game modes, better transitions and replays and finally some new commentators; it really is EA’s best hockey game yet.
With more of the same gameplay, expanded in subtle ways like the early expansions, to game changers like naval warfare in The Pacific War, Sudden Strike 4: Complete Collection remains the premier Real Time Strategy game available for the Xbox One.
Pig Eat Ball on Xbox One is a game unlike any other in many ways, and there’s plenty on offer for your money here. Despite lacking challenge and taking a while to reveal its depth, it’s still a lot of fun to play.
Tanky Tanks on Xbox One is a bit of a mess really. It feels way out of its depth on the Xbox, and instead would be much more at home as a £0.99 mobile app or at a stretch, seeking out a new life on the Nintendo Switch, preferably only after some major improvements. As it stands, this is one battle worth avoiding.
The Utopia expansion is an excellent piece of DLC for the already very good Stellaris: Console Edition on Xbox One - particularly if you are happy to drop in many more hours of game time.
I've really enjoyed this latest and last piece of DLC for We Happy Few. It's been an excellent season of extra gaming goodness and if you decide to play through the base game plus all of the additional extras, you'll discover a very tasty package indeed.
The medium of gaming allows us to be transported to all sorts of places we would never have thought were possible to venture to otherwise. As a result, I’ve been to LEGO-filled vibrant lands, and have traversed across an entire Solar System in Destiny; not to mention everything in between. But now it’s time to visit the wonderfully woollen world of Woven on Xbox One for a textile-centric adventure that’ll hopefully draw in kids and grown-ups alike. Is it a brilliantly knitted together experience for everyone to enjoy though, or does the magic of Woven soon begin to unravel?
If you like your gameplay hard and wish to mix survival horror with some good old fashioned multiplayer hunting, then I don’t think you can go too wrong with this highly original game.
