Feb 2, 2024Chessarama is a fine chess experience, enriching the world's most famous board game with new challenges and mini-games that offer a fresh perspective on what can be done with chess pieces. Sadly, however, the developers have resigned themselves to trying to deliver something more and something deeper.

Dec 6, 2023Chessarama won’t make you better at chess, but it may help you to get into the mindset needed to be a Grandmaster. It isn’t afraid to try something a bit different, with puzzles that are unique and intriguing. They don’t all work effectively, but you have to admire the attempt.

Mar 18, 2024It's these natural shortcomings that make Chessarama feel like a good idea and premise, however the execution came up short and then abandoned all together. This is even more heartbreaking when you consider how rare a chess game actually is on the Xbox platform. Go ahead and search for the store. There are only a handful of titles, and some are even free. When you take these factors into consideration, Chessarama should be a title that is avoided or wait till it's free. I can say with a sad heart that when you have free games that offer more content, why pay for it?
