Exit the Gungeon on Xbox One is a good game; not quite up to par with Enter the Gungeon but still fun. But I also think it can only be truly enjoyed if you’ve played the original. The caveat is that you might not enjoy Exit the Gungeon as much, which can lead to it feeling like a disappointment. Going into things with the right expectations is key to getting the most out of the game.
Remember the draw of Crossy Road? Of course you do for it was only a few short years ago when the voxel mobile title went viral. Now though the same creator is teaming up with the publishers at No More Robots to deliver Tombstar to console and PC.
It’s funny how a story about keeping the universe together has released as everyone has been told to isolate. But that irony almost makes this game just what is needed. As your unlikely group of heroes go out and save the universe, they also manage to spread a sense of warmth and joy that permeates across nearly all aspects of StarCrossed on Xbox One. And while I was left wishing there was more content for these characters to interact with, I felt satisfied in a way that few games in recent times have managed to achieve.

Some things in life are just tough. Early starts on cold days, dentist bills, Windows 10 updates. And some things are tougher still. You’ll have your own thoughts on life’s biggest challenges, but trust me, once you’ve played Mars: Chaos Menace on Xbox One, you’ll be adding it to the list.
2013. A different time. A whole new generation of consoles were announced and subsequently released. Generation defining games like GTA V, The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite were released to immense critical acclaim. And the first Evoland saw a limited release on Windows and OS X, with the sequel releasing a year later, both receiving positive reviews. And now both of these have been bundled together in a new collection - the Evoland Legendary Edition - for newer consoles, almost six years after the release of the original.
Coming from Dynamic voltage Games is a curious mash up of game styles - Final Star. Playing out as a horizontally scrolling shooter with RPG elements, it would appear to be a fairly unique proposition. But can the actual game live up to the potential, or will it be ultimately disappointing?
For all the online experiences in the world, there is nothing better than hunkering down with a few mates on the sofa, controllers in hand and bragging rights up for grabs. It’s that draw of being victorious that has seen the local party scene flourish over many years.
Now though, there’s a new kid on the block and on the face of it Rocket Wars has all the necessary ingredients included for it to be a success. It caters for up to 4 players, and it comes with several game modes, a multitude of ship types, even more power ups and a ton of crazy weapons.
