Pigging Out on Retro Puzzles: The Gruniożerca Trilogy Review
Retro gaming has always had a peculiar charm. There’s something about the chunky pixels, the bleepy chiptunes, and the stripped-down mechanics that feels both nostalgic and oddly refreshing in today’s era of sprawling open worlds and cinematic realism. The Gruniożerca Trilogy, now available on Xbox, taps directly into that vein of nostalgia. Originally born from the NES homebrew scene, these three puzzle-platformers have been lovingly remastered by Take IT Studio!, bundled to

Rolling the Dice: Dark Quest 4’s Nostalgic Dungeon Crawl on Xbox
When you first boot up Dark Quest 4  on Xbox, it’s hard not to feel a wave of nostalgia wash over you. Developed by Brain Seal Ltd, this latest entry in the series is unapologetically steeped in the spirit of classic tabletop dungeon crawlers like HeroQuest . It doesn’t try to hide its influences and in fact, it celebrates them, leaning into the dice-roll drama, miniature-inspired visuals, and the sense of camaraderie that comes from tackling a dungeon with friends. Yet, whil

Shaman’s Mask of the Rune Magic – Achievement Hunter’s Dream, Gamer’s Distraction
On the surface, Shaman’s Mask of the Rune Magic  might look like just another budget indie title tucked away in the Xbox store, but it has a curious charm that makes it worth a closer look. Developed by myHazards and published by Xitilon, the game was released in August 2025 at a very low price point (from £2.49), clearly designed to appeal to players who enjoy quick bursts of gameplay or those chasing Gamerscore milestones.

Haunted on the Assembly Line: The Cabin Factory Review
Horror games often thrive on the unknown, and The Cabin Factory leans into that idea with a premise that is as unsettling as it is unusual. Developed by International Cat Studios and published by Feardemic and Future Friends Games, the title has now arrived on Xbox after first making waves on PC. Rather than relying on jump scares or elaborate storylines, it places players in the role of an inspector at a factory that produces cabins. Your job is deceptively simple: determine

Winter Burrow on Xbox – Cozy Survival with a Bittersweet Edge
There’s something immediately disarming about Winter Burrow.

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

Reus 2: Sculpting Solar Systems, One Giant Step at a Time
A cosmic puzzle of balance and beauty, best enjoyed at a slower pace. When Abbey Games first released Reus  back in 2013, it carved out a niche in the god-game genre by offering something gentler and more puzzle-like than the usual fare of omnipotent destruction. Instead of smiting mortals or waging wars, you guided colossal giants to nurture ecosystems and civilizations. Now, over a decade later, Reus 2  arrives on Xbox, and it feels both like a natural evolution and a bold
