    Choice of Life: Middle Ages
    Choice of Life: Middle Ages takes the popular medium of those Choose Your Own Adventure books and applies this to a videogame. And a bare bones videogame at that, stripping away most of the good stuff and just leaving a procession of decisions to make in quick succession.

    STELLATUM
    Stellatum on Xbox One certainly catches the eye at first, and the upgrade system adds a basic element of strategy. However, despite being playable, it runs out of ideas quickly and starts to feel like a grind, which makes it hard to recommend.

    Energy Cycle Edge
    With the help of a walkthrough you could easily get 1000 Gamerscore in under an hour from Energy Cycle Edge on Xbox One, and that’s probably the main reason I’d suggest an impulse purchase. Otherwise, it’ll just be an unnecessary frustration-filled experience.

    Save Your Nuts
    Save Your Nuts on Xbox One tries its best to provide a fast and frantic nut-fuelled experience, and while it does that for a limited time, it doesn’t take long for total repetition to become the ruling factor. By all means give it a bash if you are looking for a new timewaster, but don’t expect to be playing it for much longer than a few evenings.

    Dangerous Driving
    For all the good in Dangerous Driving, there are many, many, moments of slackness. All of this combines to see Dangerous Driving deliver one of the most disappointing overall experiences I’ve had for a long old while.

    Commandos 2 / Praetorians HD Remaster Double Pack
    The Commandos 2 & Praetorians HD Remaster Double Pack on Xbox One has one average game, and one way past its sell by date. Commandos 2 has certainly aged but has enough neat little additions that it looks like a spring chicken in comparison with Praetorians. However, it is still arguably not enough to recommend the entire package for a bang average game, especially when the other game is Praetorians. Even with the HD treatment, Praetorians looks, sounds, feels, tastes and smells bad.

    State of Decay 2: Daybreak Pack
    If you want a better defensive survival experience, then you should play the base game, whilst those looking for a new horde fix should play something else.

    Runestone Keeper
    It’s a novel game for the first few tries, but its slow drip feed of progress prevents you from getting anywhere near the end, failing to really entice you to return after logging out.

    Lost Artifacts 5: Frozen Queen
    Lost Artifacts 5: Frozen Queen isn’t a bad little resource management game - at times it’s relaxing, at others it’s a lightweight puzzle - but it’s too much of a bland thing. The sheer number of levels, alongside a complete lack of variety, felt like we were on a diet of bread and water for the week we played it.

    Let's Sing 2024
    As it stands, it’s threadbare, slightly charmless and reversing a lot of the previous games’ good work. There may be a positive future for Let’s Sing, but that future might seem a long way off while playing Let’s Sing 2024.

    eFootball 2023
    eFootball 2023 is a shadow of its former self, but signs are there to suggest it will eventually become a decent free-to-play football game.

    Captain Blood
    Sometimes Captain Blood falls into the “it’s so bad it’s good category”; sometimes it’s just pretty bad but there always remains a clear charm behind every action.

    Vigor
    From someone who has experienced the best and worst of Vigor, just take my advice, and only play in a team with someone you know… and trust! Because outside of that comradery Vigor is very hit and miss.

    EvilUP
    If you are desperate for a roguelike game, I’m pretty sure there are hundreds out there that are better than EvilUP. Avoidance is my heartfelt advice.

    Eternity: The Last Unicorn
    While there is a lot that has gone awry with Eternity: The Last Unicorn on Xbox One, there is still some enjoyment to be had. The game is by no means terrible and the main meat – that being the combat – is more than serviceable, and although it is dragged down by some serious issues with backtracking, the world itself can look nice. Overall though this feels like a frozen relic of the Xbox 360 era.

    League of Enthusiastic Losers
    Performance issues relegate League of Enthusiastic Losers from a visual novel/point-and-click with potential, into little more than achievement fodder.

    The Lord of the Rings - Gollum
    A sadly undercooked game that shows sparks of promise and a real passion for the source material. Unfortunately it is tough to recommend The Lord of the Rings: Gollum in its current form, especially at full price.

    Love Kuesuto
    We expected big things from Love Kuesuto because the presentation and setup were so intriguing. What we didn’t want was a personality test lacking in personality, and answers that Mystic Meg would have called vague. Love Kuesuto is a curio, then, but not a particularly satisfying one.

    Super Weekend Mode
    Whether you should buy this game very much comes down to what kind of gamer you are. Are you desperate for more Gamerscore? Did you play Avatar: The Burning Earth? If so, this game is for you. For the rest of us, I would suggest that Super Weekend Mode is going to be a disappointment, even for the super low price.

    Dog's Donuts
    In porting Dog’s Donuts to the Xbox, the joy has ebbed out. It needs precision and multiple buttons, which the controller simply can’t offer.

    World Soccer Strikers '91
    The spirit of 1991 is indeed alive in World Soccer Strikers ’91 on Xbox; a time where football wasn’t about the money, instead more about the actual football. It is a no frills approach to the beautiful game with a fast, simple arcade kickabout. It’s fun for a few sessions with friends, and that’s about it.

    Outcast: Second Contact
    It must be said that the story has the potential to be something special, however the poor implementation of key game mechanics and a lack of variation throughout makes Outcast: Second Contact the perfect example of an unneeded remaster.

    Super Rebellion
    ‘Super’ Rebellion, in hindsight, feels like an exaggeration. Mediocre Rebellion’s more appropriate, but that probably wouldn’t sell as many units.

    Tricky Towers
    While the physics work well, the music is decent, and the bright colourful nature it emits is absolutely fine, without anyone to play Tricky Towers with, you're left with a game that is very much left wanting.

    Null Drifter
    Null Drifter on Xbox One is, at the end of the day, a good experience. I’d love to see it grace the mobile scene, letting us scratch both itches of a quick and frantic gameplay experience and a relaxing, lo-fi soundtrack to listen to. Unfortunately and ultimately though, it doesn’t have the strength or stamina to exist on Xbox One beside far deeper and more rewarding video game adventures.

    DayZ
    You know that feeling when you can’t wait to play something you’ve been so excited about, but you fast discover that it should have been left alone? I’ve just had that with DayZ on Xbox One.

    Argonauts Agency 3: Chair of Hephaestus
    Argonauts Agency 3: Chair of Hephaestus is the worst entry in the best series of 8floor resource-management games. It averages out at around ‘meh’.

    New Tales from the Borderlands
    New Tales from the Borderlands takes the core structure of what makes a Telltale game so good, but forgets to flesh it out with an interesting cast, intriguing narrative, or a reason to care.

    LEAP
    Bringing an undercooked FPS to market with in-game purchases, via a new IP with no licensed cosmetics or single player campaign is a risky move, especially when there is more lag present than back in the Duke Nukem 3D/Quake LAN party days. But that’s what we have with LEAP.

    Red Wings: Aces of the Sky
    Red Wings: Aces of the Sky on Xbox One is competent, workmanlike, and dull. So much about the chassis is well-made - the presentation, flying and arcadey maneuvers are immediate and satisfying - but the game does only one thing with them. You’ll be repeating much the same mission, with only the smallest changes of direction, and then you’ll have to do it all over again in the second, near-duplicate campaign. There’s a good WW1 fighter sim out there, and an even better one based on The Red Baron, but this isn’t it.
