    The Sun and Moon
    I love this game. I may not have completed it, chances are I’m going to struggle with a few of the stages for days, weeks and months on end, and I’ve more or less given up even trying to pick up half moon, full moon and full sun rewards, but the overall sense of achievement that The Sun and Moon gives in just the bog standard completion of a stage, is enough of a reason for me to keep playing.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy isn’t a collection that’ll entice people in who lack patience and don’t enjoy reading reams of text, that’s for sure. For those who love their storytelling though, I’d challenge anyone to point me in the direction of a game that hooks them in with such a thrilling selection of tales as this does; the cast of characters help ensure there’s plenty of intrigue.

    Far Cry 5
    Far Cry 5 is a bloody laugh. It doesn’t take itself too seriously – but then the series never has. If you’re a fan of the previous games then this is a must buy for your collection; it is bright, noisy and frantic and I wouldn’t have it another way.

    The Catch: Carp & Coarse
    The Catch: Carp & Coarse is the new fishing champion. The visuals are great, the fighting mechanic is intuitive and the variety of venues ensures that you’ll need to spend time learning a number of different fishing methods. Simply put, this is as good as fishing gets on the Xbox.

    For the King
    For The King is quite frankly one of the best games you can get for the price range. With five different game modes, all of which include their own enjoyable gimmicks such as survival elements and a focus on seafaring, there is more than enough content to find yourself going through. Supported by fantastic depth in the combat and systems that tie the game together, what few setbacks it has can easily be overlooked. If you have been looking for a turn based RPG, it would be an absolute shame to skip out on For The King.

    DAVE THE DIVER
    The beautiful graphics, chill soundtrack, and enjoyable gameplay loop more than make up for any criticisms I could throw at DAVE THE DIVER.

    Ashen
    Ashen manages to take a hardcore genre of games and make it accessible and approachable to those who are not fully experienced.

    Slime Rancher 2
    Slime Rancher 2, of course, takes many things from the pre-laid foundation of its predecessor, very rarely for worse. The majority of the time, each mechanic, minuscule or major, feels completely revamped for the better, with an abundance of thrilling, new content that ultimately leaves Slime Rancher 2 a more polished, enjoyable experience.

    Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare
    It’s been an absolute blast going back to Red Dead Redemption. It might not be the all-encompassing big remake from the ground up that some wanted. But why do you really need to do that when the foundation is this strong?

    Divinity: Original Sin II - Definitive Edition
    Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is a truly superb RPG experience that delivers a complex but intriguing narrative, some of the most exciting and intelligent turn-based combat I’ve ever encountered, and a shed load of quests to ensure there’s always something to do.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a stunning game. It is emotional, beautiful and utterly captivating. And that all means it is an absolute no-brainer as to whether you should be playing.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II builds upon the foundations already in place, offering a more polished experience with improved visuals, a larger world, and a deeper narrative.

    Rainswept
    Rainswept on Xbox One is a game that I have enjoyed tremendously, from the very start right up to the very finish. It tells a great, mysterious detective story while keeping its heart, humour, and heat.

    1000xRESIST
    1000xRESIST will be hard sell for some, a narrative driven adventure game will not appeal to the masses. Truthfully, had it not appeared on Game Pass, I would likely never have played it. But now that I have, I know I will never forget it.

    The Talos Principle 2
    You’ll find it a pleasure to step into the world of The Talos Principle 2. If you love puzzle games, then this is near perfect; a game full of challenge but backed by a great story.

    Need for Speed Payback
    It’s safe to say that Need For Speed Payback is a return to the glory days for the series, able to mentioned in the same breath as Underground or Most Wanted.

    Lord Winklebottom Investigates
    Lord Winklebottom Investigates is the quintessential British murder mystery; a great addition to the vast point-and-click library.

    Maneater
    Maneater on Xbox One is bloody brilliant. It’s a massive game with a lot to do and a huge amount of content to discover - the locations or beauty spots are usually wittily scripted, and have quite a few nods to popular culture as well, making them entertaining asides. What's more, there is a good story of revenge to follow.

    West of Dead
    West of Dead on Xbox One is a major accomplishment. It feels like it has it all: an appealing visual style, exciting gameplay, tight design, and smart writing. As a roguelike, it has been built to last.

    Nobody Saves the World
    Games like Hades have made the dungeon crawler thrive by treating it like a high-end watch. The inner workings are intricate and polished, making it a joy to play over and over. But Nobody Saves the World takes the opposite approach: it doesn’t look inwardly, polishing something to the nth degree. It blows open the doors and makes exploration and progression the focus. It gives you the world.

    Grindstone
    Grindstone represents the absolute zenith of puzzling, and you should bump and grind against its smooth edges as soon as the opportunity presents itself. One hour will lead to another, and soon it will be three weeks later. You have been warned (but do it anyway).

    ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist
    ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist is a great metroidvania, perfect for anyone looking for a new game to try. While it shares a world with its predecessor, there isn’t any need to play ENDER LILLIES before starting this one.

    Retro Machina
    Retro Machina is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It’s hard not to get invested in the eerily beautiful but ultimately bleak world which has an engrossing story to tell.

    The Banner Saga 3
    Banner Saga 3 is a fitting end to the brilliant trilogy. It’s a deeply emotional journey and from a development point of view, this is an excellent job well done.

    Metrico+
    Looks can be deceiving, and from an outsider’s point of view, Metrico+ could be seen as bland and basic. That couldn’t be further than the truth, as it is in fact engaging, very clever and creates a sense of melancholy to balance out any moments of minor frustration.

    Ninja Gaiden 2 Black
    The action certainly ramps up, both in difficulty and in sheer number, but you will love every gore-soaked minute of your time in NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black.

    OlliOlli World: Finding the Flowzone
    OlliOlli World: Finding the Flowzone is a wonderful send off for one of the best games of 2022. The friendly interactions between the characters is always a joy and that, along with the art style, never fails to bring a smile to your face.

    Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
    Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is a seriously addictive turn-based RPG that will impress returning players and enchant newcomers for hours on end. There’s a ridiculous amount of content and a huge roster of demons to engage with, as well as a shed load of welcome additions and improvements.

    SteamWorld Dig 2
    It may not manage to bring a ton of new elements to the mining landscape, and the initial scene setting components see early progress a slow one, but once it opens up and the skills and abilities come into play, you’ll find a wonderful Metroidvania themed experience that is well worth taking in.

    Tetris Effect: Connected
    At the end of the day, Tetris Effect: Connected on Xbox is just Tetris. It’s the game we’ve all played a million times over, it’s a game we all know like the back of our hand, and it’s a game in which we can rack up the highest of high scores with our eyes closed. And that, that feel of familiarity, is quite possibly the only thing that is holding Connected back from utter greatness. Yes this version looks great, it plays brilliantly, it sounds awesome, and it could well be the best Tetris experience yet, but at the end of the day it’s still Tetris... yet it is still as stupidly addictive as it ever was.
