I played the original back in 2016 and completely agree with Ben's view on the updated Layers of Fear 1. Like, it's pretty without a doubt but I'm not sold on the torch and outside of that I feel like I've "been there, done that". All in all though, still enjoyable and 6 doesn't mean it's a bad game at all
Oh buddy did I love Planet of Lana. I played a Steam build for review and you best be sure I'll be downloading it on Xbox and going through it again for those cheevos. Great review @FraserG π
Thanks @Kaloudz - I'd say it feels pretty sturdy. I'm not ready to drop it for 'science' but when it's in my hand, there's a sturdiness to it. I'd say if you did happen to fumble it, the only bits I'd worry about are those loud bumpers we're talking about haha.
@XenonKnight Not that I'm aware of. I will vouch for Armoury Crate though. It's a great app that opens on startup and If I'm not looking to browse/install anything, I won't open the Xbox app and boot straight through AC
@R1spam ahoy! Thank you kindly. So I didn't manage to plug it into a TV/Monitor I'm afraid. We weren't provided with the kit to do so. As for Steam, you sure can use Steam Deck filters π
Soooo first ever review done and dusted! For someone who can hardly write, having the opportunity to push my thoughts out there for Pure Xbox is one of my proudest moments.
Who knew my talent for singing reviews like a pirate was a hidden talent of mine? Although my throat still feels like a cheese grater was let loose on it.
@EliJapan I wouldn't say these are male specific games. Just big names on Xbox. I love Tinykin and I'm hoping to play As Dusk Falls soon too. It looks REALLY good!
I'm loving all of these comments! So happy to see folks agree/disagree with me. I'd say the best thing about swapping my suggestions out for others just proves how many awesome games there are for newbies to Xbox!
I've been inspired by the cosiness of my own list. I'll be spending my evening playing Slime Rancher 2 and eating roast dinner. I've got a few wishlisted games for Christmas, so maybe... JUST MAYBE I'll be playing one of those tomorrow
This is honestly such a good point. Nostalgia is such a powerful commoditity in the gaming world and extra frames to freshen up an already well-loved game is a win in my books.

Re: Valheim Contains 60FPS Performance Mode On Both Xbox Series X And S
@BBB from what I could see the textures just get muddier. Softer edges... almost as though it's being upscaled from a lower resolution.
