Sometimes the simplest premise when it comes to a gaming mechanic, ends up being the most enjoyable. That's the case with A Game About Digging A Hole which released onto Xbox on the 9th December 2025. The game was created by indie developer Matt Round, who originally built it as a three‑week experiment in minimalism and absurdity. Round, known for his playful approach to interactive projects, leaned into the idea of stripping gameplay down to its barest essence: you dig, and

Ball x Pit is one of those rare indie titles that manages to take a simple concept and elevate it into something far more compelling than you’d expect at first glance. On the surface, it looks like a quirky brick-breaker with roguelite elements, but once you dive in, you quickly realize it’s a layered experience that blends arcade nostalgia with modern progression systems. The game invites you into its chaotic yet strategic world, where every run feels like a fresh puzzle to

Few holiday stories have endured quite like Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The tale of a green curmudgeon whose icy heart thaws in the warmth of community has been retold countless times across books, films, and television specials. In 2023, Outright Games and developer Casual Brothers brought the Grinch into the world of interactive entertainment with The Grinch: Christmas Adventures, a family-friendly platformer designed to capture the whimsy and mischief of th

As someone who has sunk countless hours into Vampire Survivors, I approached Halls of Torment on Xbox with both excitement and skepticism. Could another auto-shooter roguelite really capture that same addictive magic without feeling like a shallow imitation? To my surprise, Halls of Torment not only embraces the familiar loop of mowing down endless hordes, but it layers on a grim, gothic atmosphere and a deeper progression system that makes it feel like a natural evolution of

There’s something immediately disarming about Winter Burrow. From the moment you step into its snow-dusted forest as a small birch mouse returning home, the game establishes a tone that is equal parts cosy and melancholic. Unlike many survival titles that thrive on punishing mechanics and relentless danger, Winter Burrow invites you into a world where survival is less about brute endurance and more about emotional resilience. The Xbox version captures this atmosphere beautifu

Fishing games usually conjure images of calm waters, gentle breezes, and a cozy loop of casting lines and reeling in catches. Dredge, developed by Black Salt Games and published by Team17, takes that familiar formula and twists it into something far more unsettling. On Xbox, the game feels perfectly at home, running smoothly with crisp visuals that highlight both the beauty of its coastal landscapes and the creeping dread that lurks beneath the surface. From the moment you do

As someone who spends a lot of time digging into indie titles, I’m always on the lookout for games that feel personal, imaginative, and a little offbeat. SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato fits that description perfectly. It’s the kind of game that doesn’t try to compete with sprawling AAA blockbusters, but instead carves out its own identity through charm, humour, and cultural storytelling. SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato is about Miho, a young boy living with his grandmother.
