Xbox Series X Reviews

The excellent on-field action in Madden NFL 24 is badly let down by the performance elsewhere.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a co-op puzzling masterclass encapsulated by a wonderfully charming world.

Let’s Build a Zoo: Aquarium Odyssey is an excellent extension to an already brilliant game. It’s fantastic how much freshness the theme brings.

The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a free-wheeling, surrealist graphic adventure that’s so beautiful that sometimes we just want to sit back and admire. 

Colour-matching aside, Overdriven Evolution is a beast.

Beautiful Sakura: Surfing Club is perhaps the most cynical, half-hearted attempt at weedling £10 out of someone’s pockets, and no amount of baby-oil and AI-generated creepy-fingers can justify its existence. If this is the future of gaming then stop the bus, because we’re getting off. 

Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition for the Xbox Series X|S is a bit of a strange beast.

In terms of a game, I don't think I've played anything like it. But Chants of Sennaar is also a great puzzling adventure; one set in a mysterious world. 

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is well worth a look. I mean, what have you got to lose? Except possibly your life?

Moving Out 2 is a cracking game. Single player is tougher, no doubt about it, but the game really comes alive in multiplayer.

We can’t wave the red flag fast and hard enough: DPS Idle is not ready to play.

Cheap and cheerful, Running Fable isn’t one that will appeal to single players or those looking for narrative. It's all about hitting the mean online streets, having quick fun with others to see who comes out with bragging rights.

EVERSPACE 2 will hold your interest well. It’s likely to be a game that you go back to, time and time again, working with new loot and trying a variety of different approaches.

Strike Force Kitty swallowed up our attention for hours on end, and those hours were great. Plus, we are going to unlock that Chewbacca cat. We ARE.

It’s difficult to weigh up episode three of The Expanse: A Telltale Series, because the positives are almost totally cancelled out by the negatives.
