After a week of sparse offerings in the Xbox world, things are back to normal with three new games heading to the Xbox One this week. Expect an influx of superheroes, exoskeleton enhanced humans, and knights!
The Surge – 16th May – Xbox One
In a time when the human race has been made redundant by the advancement of technology on Earth, you’ll take control of a human taking advantage of an exoskeleton. The aim is to fight your way through the CREO, a mega corporation, in a mission to survive, improving your own skills along the way to do so. In this hardcore action RPG, the unique combat sees you balance risk and reward in order to succeed, with both defensive and attacking manoeuvres being vital components.

Portal Knights – 19th May – Xbox One
Portal Knights is a co-operative 3D sandbox action RPG, where defeating the Portal Guardians is of utmost importance in becoming a hero. Start your journey as either a Warrior, Mage, or Ranger, taking on formidable monsters and gathering resources to craft powerful weapons, armour and spells. Prepare to explore lots of randomly generated islands, meeting memorable NPCs and rebuilding ancient gateways along the way.

As the sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us, Injustice 2 looks to deliver another cinematic story which sees the superheroes and villains of the DC universe picking up the pieces, with Batman wanting to take society in one direction, whilst Superman has his own ideas. In this super powered fighting game, players can choose from a large roster of DC favourites such as the aforementioned heroes, as well as the likes of Harley Quinn, Gorilla Grodd and Aquaman. Build the best versions of these characters and battle it out across the iconic locations of Gotham City, Atlantis and more!

The Surge looks like my type of game but it’ll be a purchase way down the line when I’ve cleared off some of my backlog.
