Xbox Series X Reviews

Exo-Calibre Review

If you are determined to play a vertically scrolling shooter, then Exo-Calibre may scratch an itch for a little while. But don’t expect to get too excited by what it delivers.

Revival: Recolonization Review

On PC, making the most of keyboard and mouse, Revival: Recolonization would make a lot more sense. But on the Xbox? Using a controller? Well, frankly the control scheme is awful and the game mechanics are a closely kept secret. 

Spray Paint Simulator Review

There’s no doubt that Spray Paint Simulator is a great little addition to the burgeoning ‘cosy jobs’ genre.

Novel Rogue Review

Novel Rogue is a decent excursion from the usual KEMCO fare, and is well worth a look. The weak storytelling is offset by the deep card based fighting system, and the game as a whole works well.

I, Robot Review

Although I, Robot is long forgotten or unknown by many, Jeff Minter and Llamasoft have done a brilliant job of bringing this hugely important game back into the spotlight, whilst adding their signature touch.

Gex Trilogy Review

The games included in Gex Trilogy are undeniably fun, and stem from a time when gameplay was the most important thing.

Antro Review

You’ll be left impressed by Antro.

Stasis Review

I had a great time playing Stasis, as it reminds of how good a point-and-click adventure can be, dragging up memories of old '90s games and films in the process.

MANIAC Review

MANIAC will roll back the years, whisking you away to those early experiences with Grand Theft Auto. It has a very arcade-like feel to it, with quick gameplay loops and exciting action.

Missing Banban Review

Another short completion in the world of Banban, Missing Banban offers up something fresh for the franchise. Perhaps a side-scrolling platformer wasn’t first choice on the list for series enthusiasts, but it plays surprisingly well. 

ISLANDERS: New Shores Review

It’s a nice comforting game to re-engage with, as ISLANDERS: New Shores adds in just enough improvements to justify being a sequel.

Vessels of Decay Review

I never found myself truly invested in Vessels of Decay. It’s a unique and beautiful world, but that on its own isn’t enough to justify the frustration of playing.

Cyber Tank Nano Review

Cyber Tank Nano is only appropriate for those willing to endure a perpetual state of confusion from the rage inducing solutions.

Against the Storm Review

Against the Storm won’t be a game for everyone, but for those who love the early gameplay of city builders, it’ll be an incredibly satisfying game that can easily provide dozens of hours of fun.

God of Weapons Review

With only a slight downside, and a bargain price to boot, recommending God of Weapons is a piece of cake - if you like Vampire survivors, then try this one.

Missile Command Delta Review

I like what Atari has been doing with all their recharging of those old classic arcade games, and Missile Command Delta is no different.

Music Drive: Chase the Beat Review

If you are looking for a bit of retro car chasing, then you might just be on the right track with Music Drive: Chase the Beat.

Rally Arcade Classics Review 

With a ton of content included, and a huge ‘one more go’ feel to the stages available, should you be looking to usher up memories of the good old days, get Rally Arcade Classics installed immediately.

Death Kid Review

Death Kid provides exciting gameplay with some especially lovely attention to detail when it comes to enemy design and variety. The animations are always stellar, but I left wishing the story was a bit less surface level.

Dustwind: Resistance Review

There is no doubt that it is a solid enough game, with a few good ideas, but they are buried beneath a layer of obtuseness that makes playing Dustwind: Resistance a chore.
