Hey! That’s me!!

Game is great and honestly a huge surprise. You should all check it out!

@themightyant Thanks for that! I've updated the post with this statement in. 😊

@Originut Yeah, it's a bit odd! I can only assume it's a backend facility that pops up on Google somehow.

@Originut Not on their site, but they still link a score on Google for their reviews.

@Spaceman-Spiff I’m gonna have to look into this - thanks for the heads-up! It was becoming a huge pain during the game.

@UltimateOtaku91 It’s all subtitled, but the voice acting is pretty top notch.

@K1LLEGAL You were here all along! 😅

@ralphdibny You’re correct! Must have been a slip of the keyboard there, sorry about that 😅

@Onett Agree with this. Didn’t mention it in the review, but Even does feel very heavy to control. If there’s a sequel, I would like to see them do something more with the movement. Maybe some platforming would be cool!

Sable! 😍

@Shigurui Ahh, thanks for letting me know! I've updated the story now.

@themightyant This is my understanding of it. The Twitter post isn't particularly clear in that regard, but I imagine we'll learn more about it soon!

@K1LLEGAL Quite often PlayStation codes are sent out for titles, with Xbox's coming weeks in advance. I'm not entirely sure why, but I suspect it's something to do with the game's been available to download first on that system. Sometimes Xbox are sent out at the same time, but more often than not it's usually PlayStation.

As an Xbox site, we don't feel it's fair to review the game on a different platform, just on the off chance there are any console specific bugs.

Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer!

@Chaudy Not in time for launch, unfortunately. We should hopefully be getting one out next week!

@Widey85 This was on Xbox Series X unfortunately 😕 hopefully they’re sorted ASAP! Not sure about it’s performance on other Xbox consoles I’m afraid!

@StylesT Thanks for the heads-up! I've adjusted the piece accordingly now 😅

@101Force I'm as confused as you are about that one - trust me.

This is super disappointing. 😓

@Fiendish-Beaver There’s no list yet, but I can’t imagine why there wouldn’t be!

@Trotterwatch How long was it? I'm tempted to give it a go!

@xMightyMatt14x You'll probably die a few times, but it's pretty easy to cheese most of the harder fights as long as you take your time. You can run in, attack, then dash back to fire ranged attacks if you want to make it a bit easier. 🙂

@Roqka It’s really not bad at all. My fiancé is playing it who is a very casual gamer, and while she’s died a few times on bosses, she’s always managed to push through!

@Krzzystuff Nope! Unfortunately not.

@PhhhCough I actually haven’t played Tunic yet so I’m not sure, but they seem to be great companion pieces to one another. Tunic seems more traditional Zelda while this embodies elements of Hollow Knight and Dark Souls. It all depends which it sounds like you’ll gravitate more towards.

Feel free to ask me anything if any of you guys have any further questions! 🙂

If they want to sell me LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, that would be fantastic.

@sirmrguitardude You're gonna love the final chapter in this, don't worry!

@mousieone My thoughts exactly! It has some pretty terrible pacing at points - especially when you’ve gotta sit through 4+ Bond Episodes between phases. But like you said, I hope it gets another entry, as there’s definitely something there.

@RBRTMNZ Personally I really enjoyed the variety it presents you and how enemies demand different tactics. For example, the armoured enemies that may require you to use the duplicate power and hurl boxes at before moving to pyrokinesis when they're vulnerable. I felt by the end of the game it was throwing some many different variations at me and demanding a lot.

It's not for everyone, for sure, but I do feel there's something it it that clicked for me personally! 🙂

@themightyant It's irony at its finest, isn't it? 😂

@dont_simp_for_them I had no idea what this was so just looked it up… I wish I hadn’t! 😳

@Luigi_Skywalker Glad to hear you’re loving it! It’s just so fun and easy to pick up and play! 😃

@BlueOcean @FatalBubbles Maybe there should be a Pure Xbox crew out in them seas! 👀

It just made me really wish Monster Hunter Stories 2 was coming to Xbox. 😓

@gingataisen Thanks for the heads up 😅 it’s been a loooong first day of E3!

Glad to see we have some fellow Evil Dead fans here. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to binge Ash vs Evil Dead for the rest of the evening! 🩸

As someone who’s favourite platformer (and game) is Banjo-Tooie, I am fully ready for another Banjo.

I think, ultimately, Psychonauts 2 is a game that’s being built for the fans. Starting as a Kickstarter and seeing it now, you can see Double Fine have created the game they wanted to make. I think we’ll see some engagement with the game rise after it comes into everyone’s radar again after E3, but unfortunately, I don’t think it’ll hit the same dizzying levels as Ratchet - even with it’s Game Pass inclusion, and if it reviews well.

@Magabro It’s going to be a great few months for Xbox fans! 😃

@phoenix1 It's just a bit of light-hearted fun for a Friday before the weekend 🙂

Don't worry, there will be plenty to keep us occupied next week!

I'm so excited!

Psychonauts 2, Psychonauts 2, Psychonauts 2!

@Nightcrawler71 That's the best mentality to have. At the end of the day, everyone responds to games differently and you may find tons more enjoyment that other people have. It's always worth trying new titles, as you may find your own underrated gem!

@PhhhCough Yep! I'd been jumping at the chance to review it, write about it, and more. It was one of my most anticipated games of the year which I originally had pre-ordered - which makes the disappointment harder.

Feel free to ask me anything about the game if you have any questions, and I'll try my best to answer!

@Don I’ve got a ton of Banjo-Kazooie collectibles on my shelf, but no physical version of the game, so would love for it to be there to complete it! 😃

@Darthroseman Oh definitely! It’s crazy how they made so many iterations for each entry. I have a soft spot for the PC versions in particular, but they’re so hard to track down these days.

@carlos82 Wow! I keep toying picking up Banjo-Kazooie on the N64 for £100, but I feel I need the console to justify that price! 😃

@VenomousAlbino Couldn’t have put it better myself, haha. We’ve actually managed to slowly deter our 4 year old away from it as it has some “questionable” morals, lol.

@MongooseGeneral Thanks for the heads up! 😃 The press release we got didn’t say a date, which is odd!

@SegataSanshiro Fully agree. All joking aside, this publisher puts out some really good children’s games that we very rarely get these days, and I’d be lying if I said I haven’t enjoyed a few of their titles!
