    Spark The Electric Jester 2
    Spark the Electric Jester 2 on Xbox One is an admirable effort from an indie gaming standpoint, as creating even a functional 3D platformer is a tough task even for a fully budgeted development studio. The game manages to execute its ideas with much success, and ultimately as flawed as the many moving parts may be, they all come together to create a memorable whole, especially when it is backed by excellent soundtrack presentation.

    Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream
    SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream isn’t the best co-op action game, but there are moments that suggest it’s good enough to consider purchasing, especially if you’re an SAO fan.

    Aery - Little Bird Adventure
    If you just want a nice simple game with some easy achievements, then Aery might just be a nice distraction to have.

    Cats and the Other Lives
    Cats and the Other Lives is clever and inventive. The whole concept of having a cat as the protagonist and finder of the narrative is excellent. But you always get the feeling that this cat isn't worried about how things play out, acting as a bystander to the events which fold.

    The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends Edition
    The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends Edition is a little bit of a mixed bag, but one that skews much further towards the positive side. It is padded, repetitive and overly randomized, but the strong core mechanics, charming aesthetics and smooth-as-butter gameplay loop make up for these shortfalls.

    Many Faces: Console Edition
    Many Faces is an interesting experience, with an intriguing random element and some cool hat-based gameplay. It could have had real legs, it could have kept me coming back for more - if only it didn't give all its achievements away so easily.

    Ever Forward
    Ever Forward is a pretty great little puzzler that just so happens to have a wonderful narrative weaved in. The originality of the stages is worth highlighting, but there is a bit of a struggle in terms of the gameplay mechanics and the movement of Maya; it feels a bit too slow and not always accurate in its response time. Aside from that, Ever Forward is a puzzler that is worth consideration.

    Garten of Banban 6
    This fifth entry in the series, despite being called Garten of Banban 6, is the best by far. But it is not a good starting point. Unfortunately, to get the most out of it, you will need to sit through some bad games to fully appreciate this one. Garten of Banban 6 is not exactly great, but it is a whole lot better than what has come before.

    Strikers 1945 II
    Strikers 1945 II is peak Psikyo shoot ’em uppery. It’s fast, overblown and demands to be replayed.

    Clockwork Aquario
    Take part in the nostalgia and unearth a forgotten treasure; but have no illusions - there is a slow, cumbersome reason why Clockwork Aquario never made it into our arcades.

    Dark Quest 2
    Dark Quest 2 is quite a niche game and one I’d say to fans of retro turn based RPGs to give a go. But you really need to be a fan of the genre to make this a worthwhile purchase.

    Ancestors Legacy
    If you’re an RTS aficionado in need of a new game then Ancestors Legacy on Xbox One should scratch that itch – as long as you aren’t fussed about pitting your strategies against any humans.

    WRC 7
    If you’re looking for a casual racer, the experience may be just what you’re looking for, but those hardcore racers out there may be left disappointed.

    Super Woden GP II
    Super Woden GP II is a good racer that harks back to the glory days of arcade racing. The challenge in the later stages is intense, while the chasing of credits and stars to get new events is agreeable in and of itself.

    Plastomorphosis
    Plastomorphosis should be seen as a worthy successor to the games of the past, and with the atmosphere that it creates as well, it is one to recommend should you have a hankering for the old days.

    Maquette
    We loved so much of Maquette. Its many-layered puzzles are sensational. They are so good, in fact, that they carry a game that fails to get the other stuff right.

    The Skylia Prophecy
    There will be a couple of different reactions to The Skylia Prophecy on the Xbox. Anyone who expects decent action from their action platformers, with responsive controls and a powerful set of moves, is going to be disappointed and should probably back away. But those who persist past the flaws will find something well-paced, surprisingly non-linear and flecked with good ideas.

    DJMax Respect V
    While DJMAX RESPECT V is glossy and fully featured, it doesn’t have it where it counts: in its playlist of songs, and how well those songs are mapped to the beats.

    Pinball M
    Pinball M does a lot of right things to win back the fanbase. New features, the promise of new tables, and a more traditional format of playing, avoiding the controversial Pinball Pass. Just remember, the M is for mature.

    Barton Lynch Pro Surfing
    Whether it has long term appeal is up for debate, but Barton Lynch Pro Surfing is quite probably the best surfing game money can currently buy.

    The Drone Racing League Simulator
    As a simulator I can rate it fairly highly, despite its issues. Everything feels real and I can definitely see how it would improve someone’s ability to actually fly a drone. On the other hand, for casual gamers or people who are looking for a more game-like experience, The Drone Racing League Simulator on Xbox One isn’t going to be the answer. It all comes down to what kind of experience you want.

    The Cute Whale
    We stand - just about - on the right side of sokoban fatigue with The Cute Whale. That’s largely down to some cracking, well thought-out puzzle layouts that kept the cynicism at bay.

    Fractured Minds
    Fractured Minds on Xbox One is a brave and admirable attempt at using video games in an effort to reach out to people who have to struggle silently with mental health.

    Skyhill
    Because everything is generated randomly, certain characters or events may not occur, making each playthrough slightly different. And, to top it off, there are multiple endings to unlock, so Skyhill definitely has some replay value to it.

    REMEDIUM: Sentinels
    By all means, if you're in the market for a new roguelite auto-shooter, REMEDIUM: Sentinels should be considered. But a few little tweaks to its systems would ensure this has better legs going forward. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it evolves further.

    Planet Coaster: Vintage Pack
    The Vintage Pack for Planet Coaster: Console Edition on Xbox definitely feels like a better offering than the previous Spooky and Adventure packs. There is a much wider selection of rides and the amenities are much more than simple reskins of existing shops with new ones added.

    Mortal Kombat 1
    Whilst definitely touted as a reboot in pre-release info, Mortal Kombat 1 has taken a few too many steps back. The fighting feels stripped back from previous editions, reverting to a technique that fighting games were using years ago, rather than evolving.

    Rayland 2
    It’s hard to make a case for Rayland 2 being your first choice when it comes to buying a new puzzle game. However, if you want to kill an hour or two, and you need an extra 2000 Gamerscore in the bank, then it’s certainly an option.

    Hard West Ultimate Edition
    Appropriately priced, Hard West: Ultimate Edition on Xbox One offers hours of enjoyment throughout the eight unique campaign scenarios, for those craving an XCOM-like tactical action game - just without humanoid aliens and mass genocide, of course.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a bit of a mixed bag. A top-notch diversified combat system coupled with top-shelf presentation is weighed down by some questionable narrative choices and incredibly repetitive mission design.
