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.
What we end up with in Gift of Parthax on Xbox One is a solid game that exists in this weird ground; never really fun enough to play and focus on specifically, but not frustrating or bad enough to cause irritation.
Stay Cool, Kobayashi-San! A River City Ransom Story on Xbox One is an obscure and campy beat ‘em up adventure that is off-kilter even by the standards set by the River City franchise.
If you’ll pardon the pun, Citadel: Forged with Fire is a bit of a slow-burner. My first couple of hours with the game were a slog; nothing is really explained, the UI is a bit of a mess and a key binding issue stopped any progress I needed to make. But then everything just fell into place with the game and my understanding, and it presented a really cathartic and relaxing MMORPG.
Video games have always been about escapism and sought after as a coping mechanism, and with the release of Fractured Minds it’s great to see the medium being utilised in a way that is both healthy and accommodating.
If poorly conceived rush jobs are your bread and butter then Police Chase on Xbox One has you covered, but everyone else should steer well clear of this defective and shoddy trash fire.
Upon the release of the fourth instalment, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, publishers Modus Games have launched the entire range on Xbox One in the form of Trine: Ultimate Collection. Should everyone be gearing up for a trip down memory lane, or have these classics failed to age well alongside the brand new outing?
Tokyo Warfare Turbo on Xbox One feels like an unfinished and incomplete game, and while the core tank action can be quite enjoyable, it is unfortunately situated in a package that offers very little in the way of gameplay variety and modes.
Bee Simulator works well as a good educational family experience on Xbox One. It will provide small kids with some great characters, and a nice story, but should also give them some challenging but rewarding gameplay that is relaxing and fun.
