Priest Simulator: Vampire Show, a highly rated action game with sandbox shooter elements, is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It will launch on PS5 on April 16 and on Xbox on May 7. The game blends genres and delivers a heavy dose of madness and absurdity. It will appeal to fans of shows like South Park and games like Postal and No More Heroes. The independent Polish studio Asmodev developed the PC version released in 2024. It is also known for smaller titles like

Launceston-based Smash Attack Aus and USA publishing platform indie.io have announced their sci-fi drone 2D platformer  Nullstar: Solus  is out now on PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S. Nullstar: Solus is a precision platformer where speed is of the essence, as your drone races down into forgotten, overgrown chambers and corridors, facing ancient dangers and forgotten hazards in its quest for the most powerful energy source in existence. The g

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a stealth game built around a single, striking idea: the ability to dissolve into shadow and move through the world as a living silhouette. On Xbox Series X, that idea becomes the backbone of a stylish, fluid adventure that thrives on momentum and improvisation. You play as Ayla, the last known member of the Ereban people, whose mysterious powers make her both a target and a threat. Her journey begins with a simple infiltration but quickly spirals int

A quirky, compact, shark‑powered platformer with heart, bite, and a few barnacles. Maki’s Adventure is one of those indie curiosities that immediately signals its handmade charm: a small, earnest, slightly chaotic action‑platformer where a red‑eyed impish creature escapes a prison, saves his brother, and then somehow ends up juggling quests, mini‑games, shark transformations, and boss fights across a patchwork world of islands, jungles, volcanoes, and sleepy fishing towns. On

ICARUS on Xbox is a harsh, absorbing survival experience built around tension, planning, and the constant threat of nature. It’s beautiful, demanding, and often unforgiving, and while the console UI and controls can get in the way, the core loop is strong enough to pull you back in for “one more drop.” ICARUS: Console Edition arrives on Xbox with the weight of a fascinating development story behind it. The game comes from RocketWerkz, the New Zealand studio founded by Dean Ha

GreedFall: The Dying World arrives in a strange position: a prequel that must deepen a world already rich with political tension, cultural conflict, and spiritual identity, while also reinventing the series’ core systems. It’s a game born from ambition and adversity, shaped during a turbulent development period and released into a landscape where AA RPGs are expected to punch far above their weight. On Xbox, the result is a sprawling, often engrossing role‑playing experience

A sprawling, ambitious action‑RPG that mixes power fantasy with systems‑driven depth — and occasionally trips over its own scale. There’s a particular kind of ambition you only see in mid‑budget action‑RPGs, the kind that isn’t afraid to swing for the fences even if it means occasionally missing them. Dragonkin: The Banished is one of those games. It arrives with the confidence of a genre heavyweight, promising sprawling regions, evolving cities, class‑driven combat, and a wo

City builders often ask you to tame the land, but Laysara: Summit Kingdom asks you to respect it. Set high above a fog‑choked world, the game casts you as the architect of a civilisation determined to survive by climbing toward the sky. On Xbox, this mountain‑bound city builder delivers a refreshing twist on the genre: a blend of serene settlement planning, intricate logistics, and environmental danger that never feels overwhelming but always demands attention. Rather than re

There’s a particular kind of magic to retro sports games, it's that blend of chunky pixel art, simple controls, and pure, unfiltered competition. Basketball Classics taps directly into that magic. It’s a modern release built with an old soul, a game that feels like someone unearthed a lost NES cartridge and quietly slipped it onto Xbox hardware. What makes it stand out isn’t just nostalgia, though. It’s the way it embraces the spirit of 8‑ and 16‑bit basketball while layering

Every so often, an indie game comes along with a premise so bizarre you can’t help but lean in. Don’t Mess With Bober is exactly that kind of experience. It's a short, scrappy, first‑person horror‑comedy built around the idea that a beaver, pushed too far, can become the most determined killer in the woods. It’s a game that knows its concept is ridiculous and embraces it, but it also tries to deliver genuine tension, frantic chase sequences, and a surprisingly varied set of e

Realpolitiks II drops you straight into the hot seat of global leadership, offering 208 playable nations ranging from superpowers to microstates. Whether you want to steer the US through global crises or see how far you can push Sealand, the game gives you the freedom to define your own political identity. The Xbox version retains the full PC feature set, meaning console players get the same sprawling toolkit of diplomacy, warfare, espionage, and economic management. The prem

Trash Goblin is one of those rare cosy games that understands the quiet pleasure of tending to small things. On the surface, it’s a simple shopkeeping sim about a goblin who digs through debris, restores discarded trinkets, and sells them to a rotating cast of eccentric townsfolk. But beneath that simplicity lies a surprisingly layered, tactile, and endlessly replayable experience built around care. Care for objects, care for your space, and care for the oddballs who wander i

Blood West is not your typical first-person shooter. It’s a game that takes the familiar grit of the Wild West and twists it into something far darker, more unsettling, and undeniably unique. From the moment you step into its cursed frontier, you realize this isn’t a world of heroic cowboys or romanticized duels at high noon. Instead, it’s a place where the land itself feels haunted, where every shadow could conceal a monster, and where survival depends less on quick reflexes

Wonders of Sodor is a surprisingly heartfelt nostalgia trip that's more interactive storybook than game and wrapped in the glossy tech of Train Sim World. It won’t satisfy players looking for deep mechanics, but if you grew up with the classic TV series, it taps directly into that warm, steam‑scented corner of your childhood. Booting this up felt like stepping back into a world I thought I’d outgrown. The original Thomas & Friends, the model sets, the gentle pacing, the Ringo

I Am Future is a bright, low‑pressure survival‑crafting game that turns the end of the world into a surprisingly warm, whimsical rooftop renovation project. Its charm, atmosphere, and tactile crafting shine, even if the story pacing and long‑term motivation don’t always keep up. The apocalypse has never looked this cheerful. I Am Future begins with your character waking up alone on a rooftop in a drowned megacity, missing an arm, missing your memories, and surrounded by overg

Baki Dou: Blood Arena is a lean, punch‑drunk 2D fighting game built for fans who want to be Baki Hanma for a few hours, not study frame data or climb ranked ladders. It’s scrappy, exaggerated, and proudly anime‑forward. Coming in cold, Baki Duo: Blood Arena is a fun, punchy, slightly chaotic brawler that doesn’t demand prior fandom, but it definitely expects it. You can enjoy the fights, the style, and the sheer absurdity of the characters without knowing a single thing about

Dungeon Minesweeper takes the familiar tension of classic Minesweeper and drops it into a pixel‑art dungeon crawler, creating a quirky little hybrid that’s far more charming than its simple premise suggests. It’s a game that knows exactly what it is: a light, low‑pressure puzzle adventure with a sprinkle of RPG flavour, a handful of quests, and a structure that never gets too stale. As someone who spent way too long on my parents computer playing the OG minesweeper I was real

As someone who happily sinks hours into the gentle hum of engines, the sway of suspension, and the oddly soothing repetition of route‑running, I’m always on the lookout for new driving sims, especially ones that promise something a little different from the usual city‑bus fare. Bus World certainly fits that description. Rather than focusing on modern urban transport, it drops you into a series of historical and geographically varied scenarios, from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zon

Grand Poker Casino on Xbox sets out to deliver a simple, accessible take on Texas Hold’em, and in many ways it succeeds. It’s a no‑frills card game that drops you straight into the action without tutorials, progression systems, or flashy distractions. If you’re looking for a quiet, low‑pressure poker experience you can dip into for a few hands at a time, the game’s stripped‑back approach works in its favour. The core gameplay is functional and easy to grasp. Betting flows smo

Water Delivery is one of those strange little games that sneaks up on you, not because it’s subtle, but because it lures you in with the mundanity of a job nobody thinks twice about. You’re a delivery driver on your final route of the evening, cruising through a quiet rural community with nothing but the hum of the van and the soft thrum of lo‑fi beats to keep you company. It feels almost meditative at first: grab a jug, drop it off, hunt down the empties, collect your cash,
