There’s no doubt that Gift on Xbox and PC looks gorgeous. But behind the stunning visuals is a precious encounter…
Available right now on Xbox Series X|S and PC is Gift. A current-gen only title (no Xbox One love here), it’s from the Million Edge and Toydium teams as they present us a tale that focuses on an old man. Awakening on a luxury cruise, he finds things are wrong; the ship sinking.
A sinking ship
It’s here where you come in and for £20.99 in Gift you’ll be tasked with helping that old guy make his way to safety, clambering around the ship before it succumbs to the depths. The problem is, whilst that would normally signal the start of a glorious platforming adventure, in Gift that ship is constantly moving, platforming shifting, tilting. And what’s more, the water levels are rising…
Dive in to the scenarios of Gift and you’ll discover a game that is constantly on the move. What may work one time, may be different the next, all dependant on the sway of the ship and the movement of that water.
Creating a safe route out of there, an escape is on the cards – but will you be able to solve the puzzles needed for that to become a reality?

Gift Description
An old man wakes up and finds himself on a luxury cruise ship. He encounters passengers that he feels nostalgic about for various reasons as he attempts to escape from the sinking ship. This is an action game in which the player aims to escape from a giant ship before it sinks into the sea. The tilt and water level of the ship are constantly changing, so the situation varies dramatically even in the same location depending on the timing. The gimmicks scattered throughout the ship also act very differently depending on the tilt and water level. The player needs to make strategic use of these changes to construct an escape route. Sometimes it is necessary to solve puzzles, and other times it is necessary to make skillful use of the character’s actions. And in the end… A very precious encounter is awaiting the old man.
