Although the gameplay is accessible, depth can be found in the roster of Strikers as they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Similar to something like Rocket League , Omega Strikers could be one of those games that people periodically return to whenever they have 20 minutes to kill and would rather not commit to a single-player title or a battle roy

Years of development and beautiful hand drawn artwork in the style of 1930s animation has kept us intrigued for Cuphead for years, an ambitious project being made by Canadian brothers Chad and Jared Moldenhauer. We've played it several times in recent years (it began development in 2010!) and found the side-scrolling boss heavy shooter almost too challenging at times so here's hoping the extra time polishes up the visually stunning experie

Metro Redux is a collection that includes the definitive versions of Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light . The pair of games are set in a post-apocalyptic Russia, following a nuclear war that lay waste to the world and killed billions of people. Unfortunately, the game doesn't provide much hope for the devastated Earth, as the survivors must contend with dangerous mutants and uninhabitable

Updated April 7, 2024 by Mark Sammut: 2024 has produced a couple of free Xbox games that cater to niche audiences. Difficult as it is to predict if they will still be relevant in a few months or years, games like Hawked are worth a try while they are still somewhat

The Medium piqued the interest of players all over the world almost immediately after its first trailer launched. A psychological horror game from Bloober Team, The Medium cleverly juxtaposes a real-world setting with the spirit realm, both of which are traversable by its protagonist, Marianne.

A surprise announcement at E3 2015, **For Honor ** is a brand new IP and brand new genre of game for developer/publisher Ubisoft. This third-person hack-and-slash title embraces medieval fantasy and brings together three factions and recognizable historical combat styles and aesthetics with the The Legion (knights), The Chosen (Samurai), and The Warborn (vikin

Although it's seen its fair share of controversy over the years, Bungie's Destiny 2 is still running strong today, with a recent expansion and multiple updates to add even more content to its steadily growing world. Players who are just now jumping in for the first time can boost themselves to a higher Light Level by proving they can tackle a Legendary story mission, giving them faster access to some of the end-game content packed within Witch Qu

Resident Evil certainly doesn't have the same gun-blazing action as some of the other titles on this list, as it instead requires players to use their ammo extremely sparingly and rely on their wits to surv

Halo will always be a big deal for Xbox, but the license's shine has dulled over the last decade. Halo Infinite launched to a fairly positive critical reception, and its single-player campaign was an improvement over the disappointing Guardians . That content is not free-to-play and requires either a cash investment or a Game Pass subscription; however, Microsoft decided to immediately release Halo Infinite multiplayer for free on Xbox consoles and PC. Ultimately, the project's longevity relies on its online component, and 343 Industries has tried to keep the game active with semi-frequent upda

It's hard to believe it's been eight (8!) years since Halo Wars originally released, developed by Ensemble Studios. That game received favorable reviews and offered a natural expansion for the Halo brand. Bringing it back and blowing it up in a big way for the sequel (which is releasing for PC from the get-go this time) is Creative Assembly ( Total War series) alongside main Halo developer 343 Industr

Halo Infinite 's multiplayer has led a turbulent life, garnering praise and criticism in equal measure.

However, Halo Infinite has regular positive spells that allow it to build momentum , and matches are generally a fun way to spend a few ho

In a local multiplayer setting, players can create smaller contests built upon a points system. Utilizing loose but amusing physics, Fall Guys is good for Tactical Ops Playlist a laugh, and matches do not typically outstay their welcome eit

Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment made the controversial decision of not including any form of single-player campaign in Titanfall , which was a rarity at the time. The lack of single-player and local split-screen multiplayer disappointed gamers; however, the concept of throwing Titans into the mix of an online battlefield intrigued fans and critics. The game had some issues, though the interesting ideas and fast-paced gameplay made it an enjoyable experiment that set a strong foundation for the excellent seq
