Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 – Stormy Knights is the kind of game that looks unassuming until it has you muttering at the screen, replaying the same corridor for the fifth time, determined to get your timing right. It’s a compact, side‑scrolling combat challenge built around discipline, pattern recognition, and the quiet satisfaction of finally nailing a duel that kept flattening you. This second entry in the Tiny Pixels series sticks to a simple formula: one knight, one sword, and a l

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

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

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

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

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

Dovetail Games , a state-of-the-art simulation entertainment video game developer, in collaboration with Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT), a leading global toy and family entertainment company and owner of one of the most iconic brand portfolios in the world, today announced Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor , a new standalone narrative adventure game. Coming soon to Steam , Epic Games Store, Microsoft Game Store, Xbox Series X|S​, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nin

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

The first instalment of the Year 5 Pass brings two new maps and a duo of new off-road specialists, alongside brand new missions!   Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive are excited to celebrate the launch of SnowRunner ’s newest update, Season 17: Repair & Rescue , on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC .

FARAWAY TRAIN arrives on Xbox as the latest atmospheric narrative experience from AMATA K.K and Tatamibeya, a small Japanese studio known for crafting quiet, introspective worlds that linger long after the credits roll. Their earlier title, Nostalgic Train, earned a cult following for its dreamlike rural setting and meditative storytelling, and FARAWAY TRAIN feels like a spiritual sibling. It's not a sequel, but a continuation of the studio’s fascination with memory, loss, a

ReSetna on Xbox is one of those games that feels familiar at first glance, another 2.5D sci‑fi action-platformer set in a world where machines have outlived their makers but it quickly reveals a tone and texture that’s more distinctive than its surface suggests. I don’t naturally gravitate toward Metroidvanias; the genre’s love of backtracking, labyrinthine maps, and “you’ll understand this later” design philosophy often leaves me cold. But ReSetna managed to pull me in with

This cat’s out of the bag! Atari and independent game studio Fabraz today announced that my new game, Bubsy 4D will launch on May 22, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows and GOG, and Xbox Play Anywhere for $19.99.

Mister Chickums  is launching on PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in April 2026, with a demo scheduled to launch on Steam on February 12. Go! Go! Mister Chickums is a fun, classic single-screen platformer, inspired by arcade hits of the 80s. The game can be played either in single-player mode, or in local couch co-op with 2 players simultaneously. Jump and run throu

Boulder Dash has always been one of those quietly iconic games, the kind that never dominated playground conversations but somehow lived on in every compilation disc, every retro collection, every “remember this?” YouTube rabbit hole. The 40th Anniversary edition on Xbox leans into that legacy with confidence, offering a polished, modernised take on a classic formula without losing the crunchy charm that made it memorable. Boulder Dash: 40th Anniversary stays true to the core

CloverPit is one of those indie roguelites that sneaks up on you with a deceptively simple premise and then refuses to let go. On Xbox, the game drops you into a grim, claustrophobic prison cell where your only companion is a slot machine. It’s not the kind of slot machine you’d find in a neon-lit casino, it’s a rusted, ominous contraption that feels more like a judge than a toy. Each spin isn’t just about chasing coins or jackpots; it’s about survival. The machine demands pa
