Developed by Seashell Studio, Running Fable: Petite Party lands on Xbox as a compact, family‑friendly party game that mixes board‑game movement with fast, physics‑driven mini‑games. It’s a bright, bouncy experience on the surface, but beneath the colourful presentation lies a game that often feels torn between ambition and simplicity. Seashell Studio clearly aimed to create a playful, accessible multiplayer package, yet the execution wavers between charming chaos and mechanic

Developed by indie_games_studio, EBOLA VILLAGE marks the team’s most ambitious attempt yet to bring their signature brand of grim, bio‑horror survival to consoles. The studio has always operated on the fringes of the indie horror scene, a small team, big ideas, unapologetically rough edges and this entry continues that tradition while pushing into new territory. Where previous EBOLA titles leaned heavily into corridor‑based panic and viral‑outbreak chaos, EBOLA VILLAGE shifts

Developed by Crimson Herring Studios, Sovereign Syndicate arrives on Xbox as a curious, slow-burning CRPG that trades swords and spell slots for tarot cards, temperament meters, and a thick fog of Victorian grime. It’s a debut that wears its influences openly, gaslamp fantasy, character‑driven RPGs, and a fascination with the occult, but it also tries to carve out its own identity through its unusual mechanics and three‑protagonist structure. On console, the experience is lar

Pathologic 3 is not a game that wants to entertain you. It wants to test you, unsettle you, and make you complicit in the slow, choking collapse of a town that never really had a chance. Ice-Pick Lodge returns to its plague‑ridden world with a sharper focus on psychology, consequence, and the crushing weight of responsibility. On Xbox, the experience is surprisingly stable, though still intentionally abrasive in all the ways that define the series. You play as Daniil Dankovsk

Labyrinthine finally makes its way to Xbox, bringing its brand of maze‑driven co‑op horror to console players who love getting lost, screaming together, and occasionally blaming each other for taking the wrong turn. It’s a strange little game that's ambitious in atmosphere, scrappy in execution, and absolutely built for group play. If you’re looking for polished, cinematic horror, this isn’t it. But if you want a night of unpredictable, sometimes hilarious, sometimes genuinel

Apartment No. 129 arrives on Xbox with a premise that should be irresistible to horror fans: a Turkish urban legend wrapped in religious folklore, a cursed apartment block, and a protagonist drawn into a mystery steeped in tragedy. There’s an immediate sense of atmosphere as you step inside the decaying building, with unsettling sound cues, claustrophobic corridors, and a cultural lens rarely explored in mainstream horror. You can feel the ambition, this is a game that wants

Roguematch is one of those games you underestimate in the first five minutes. It looks cute, it sounds harmless, and the pitch, match‑3 combat meets dungeon‑crawling roguelike feels like a novelty experiment. Then you start your first run, misjudge a gem match, accidentally heal an enemy, and realise this game has teeth. On Xbox, the hybrid design feels surprisingly natural. Movement and gem selection map cleanly to the controller, and once you settle into the rhythm, the gam

Lonely Mountains has always thrived on a simple idea: drop you at the top of a mountain and dare you to get down it in one piece. Snow Riders takes that ethos, swaps the bike for skis, and somehow makes the whole thing feel both more serene and more chaotic at the same time. It’s a clever evolution that's familiar enough to slip into instantly, but distinct enough to feel like Megagon Industries has genuinely rethought the formula rather than just reskinned it. The shift to s

Ys has always been a series about momentum, forward motion, forward growth, forward discovery. Ys X: Proud Nordics on Nintendo Switch 2 embraces that ethos wholeheartedly. It’s an enhanced, expanded re‑release of Ys X: Nordics, but it’s also a quiet statement of intent: Falcom wants this to be the version you remember, the version you recommend, the version that finally lets Adol and Karja’s adventure breathe at the scale it always deserved. And for the most part? It succeeds

Survivalist: Invisible Strain is one of those rare survival games that feels like it’s constantly watching you, not in a sinister, scripted way, but in the sense that every choice you make ripples outward through a living, reactive world. On Xbox, it arrives as a fiercely ambitious indie title that blends social simulation, colony management, and zombie survival into something that’s equal parts chaotic, personal, and quietly brilliant. It’s not pretty. It’s not gentle. But i

Shroomtopia is one of those puzzle games that sneaks up on you. At first glance, it’s all soft colours, sleepy mushroom creatures, and gentle vibes, the sort of thing you boot up expecting a breezy hour or two. But beneath that mellow exterior is a surprisingly sharp puzzle engine built around colour mixing, terrain manipulation, and the satisfying moment when everything finally clicks into place. Each level is a hex‑based landscape dotted with water sources and dormant mushr

Some games whisper their intentions. Centipede Gun kicks the door down, hisses at you, and hands you a living weapon that looks like it crawled out of a biohazard lab rave. On Xbox, this chaotic twin‑stick shooter becomes a slick, adrenaline loop. It's the kind of game that doesn’t just want your attention, it wants your reflexes, your peripheral vision, and maybe your soul. And honestly? It’s a blast. Centipede Gun doesn’t behave like the usual wave‑based shooter, and that’s

The Dreads DLC for Shave & Stuff arrives with the promise of injecting some much‑needed variety into the base game’s shallow barbershop antics, and on the surface, it does exactly that. Adding dreadlocks to the roster of hairstyles gives you something more substantial to work with than the usual stubble‑and‑shave routine, and the first time you’re handed a client with a full head of chunky, stylised dreads, it feels like the game is finally stretching beyond its original toy‑

Shave & Stuff is one of those VR curiosities that feels like it wandered out of a prototype lab and somehow ended up on a major platform. It’s a barbershop simulator in the loosest, most chaotic sense of the word, inviting you to shave, trim, and occasionally mutilate the faces of a rotating cast of cartoonish customers. On PSVR2, the premise has the potential to be tactile and oddly satisfying, the kind of “toybox” VR experience that thrives on physical comedy and haptic fee

Cabernet is one of those rare narrative RPGs that doesn’t rush to impress you with spectacle, but instead slowly coils around you with atmosphere, tension, and a sense of creeping transformation. From the moment you step into its 19th‑century, Eastern‑European‑inspired world, the game makes it clear that this isn’t a power fantasy about being a vampire, it’s a story about becoming one. The introduction alone sets the tone beautifully: dimly lit taverns, whispered political un

CONSCRIPT: Director’s Cut is an expanded, refined version of the original indie WWI survival‑horror game CONSCRIPT . Think of it as the same core experience with tight corridors, brutal scarcity, retro style visuals, and that constant feeling of being hunted, but with a layer of polish and extra content that makes the whole thing feel more deliberate and complete. What does this directors cut version include? Shellshock Difficulty – Brutal new mode with stronger enemies and s

Sonic Wings Reunion on Nintendo Switch is a curious little time capsule, bundling together the first two entries of the long‑running Aero Fighters series and presenting them with a kind of quiet confidence. These games were born in the early ’90s, when arcades were still loud, smoky, and alive with the clatter of buttons and the glow of CRT screens. The original Sonic Wings (1992) was a vertical shooter that stood out not because it reinvented the genre, but because it inject

The Pale Reach is a small DLC, but it’s one that understands precisely what makes DREDGE tick. Instead of trying to escalate the scale, it tightens the focus: a frozen biome carved out of ice floes, abandoned camps, and the remnants of an expedition that clearly met a fate worse than cold. It’s a story told in fragments through journals, wreckage, and the eerie silence of a place that feels like it’s holding its breath. Key Features 1-3 hours of content playable at any time i

Rage of the Dragons NEO arrives with a strange kind of pressure: it’s not just resurrecting a cult classic, it’s trying to justify why that cult classic mattered in the first place. The original Rage of the Dragons was always a bit of an oddity, a spiritual successor to Double Dragon that lived in the shadow of SNK’s titans. NEO tries to reclaim that identity with modern polish, tag‑team flair, and a reverence for 2D fighters that borders on devotional. It’s a bold swing. And

Formula Legends: Turbo Power Pack is a DLC add‑on that expands the base game with iconic vintage racing machines, blending nostalgia with tight, precision‑focused driving. It’s a small, low‑cost pack that adds meaningful flavour if you enjoy historic racing eras. Where other Formula Legends DLCs tend to go broad with full grids, multiple eras, sometimes even new circuits, the Turbo Power Pack goes narrow and deep. You get two cars, and that’s it. But they’re chosen with inten
