Torii Review

I cannot stress enough about how important it is for games like Torii to exist, as they push boundaries and try new things in the gaming space, working all-new narratives. I like how this game uses symbolic visuals, rarely spelling out the narrative to the gamer, leaving them to instead figure out the message being told. The post Torii Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.

Splitgate: Arena Reloaded Is Getting Amazing Feedback Following Its (Free) Relaunch On Xbox

"Outstanding work to the 1047 team, SG2 is IT!".Earlier this year, Splitgate 2 unfortunately released to quite a mixed reception, and the team ultimately decided to take the game back into a "beta" state and try again with Splitgate: Arena Reloaded in December.This version of the game is described as combining "the best of Splitgate 1 & 2, bringing back that classic arena shooter feel". And, based on first impressions from the Splitgate community, it's a big improvement! We're seeing loads o

Once Upon a Jester Review

A great family-friendly game to play with the young ones, I like the simple mechanics on offer in Once Upon a Jester. It has good writing, delivered with charm and humour. It also has a good heart to the story, even though it is a bit predictable towards the end. The post Once Upon a Jester Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.

Truck Driver: The Dutch Connection Review

I have enjoyed spending time with Truck Driver: The Dutch Connection, getting immersed into the narrative as I went. But, at times, driving for long distances, working from A to B and then back to A again, becomes extremely tedious. The post Truck Driver: The Dutch Connection Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.

Dark Atlas: Infernum Review

Dark Atlas: Infernum has a lot of promise in terms of its story and creative atmosphere. I liked what the game attempts to achieve, and in some parts, it does that very well. However, the lack of a map, the constant darkness and issues with overall focus don't help matters. The post Dark Atlas: Infernum Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.
