Five more games run down their Game Pass contracts and depart the service today. They are all indie starlets, and we reviewed every last one of them positively.
Whilst this young Brit remembers 1966 for one thing and one thing only - the coming home of football - the development team at LCB Game Studios wish to recall the Leonid meteor shower over North America in November of the very same year. This is the setting for their self-described ‘pixel pulp’ title Mothemn 1966
For those not familiar with millennium-old Persian poetry, the romantic tragedy “Khosrow and Shirin” should really be your next read, carving out a classic Romeo and Juliet narrative with a bit of magic thrown in for good measure. And then you can move on to Black Cube Games’ latest release - The Tale of Bistun - as they take this story and apply it to a beautifully created action-adventure title.
What has been created in Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course is beautiful to behold, the right side (just) of frustratingly hard, and will keep you playing for a while, all as you spend time with Ms. Chalice and work with the new weapons.
When a game launches on Game Pass, you kind of expect it to cost some cash a little further down the line. That may well be the case when Citizen Sleeper finally drops out of the scheme, but for now it's the free love that is of importance. Even more so as the first free DLC drop looks to expand the story.
If it's fast-paced hack and slashing your want, and need a bit of Thai film inspiration to back it up, there's pretty much only one game for the job - Krut: The Mythic Wings.
There is a decent narrative to follow, and getting your wings powered up is pretty satisfying, but the trivial combat robs Krut: The Mythic Wings of a lot of fun.
Following the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022, there were few games that left a lasting impression as much as The Last Case of Benedict Fox. Designed and developed by the relatively unknown Plot Twist studio, it oozed confidence. We were given the opportunity to interview creative director Bartek, who was able to take us on a guided tour through its macabre halls.The horror, the horror…
I love a good puzzler and Hourglass is very good for the five or six hours that it will last. The price is a bit heavy, but on the whole this is a quality thinking person's game and one that you won’t want to miss.
