Maniac is good too! Really liked it. Instant fun! I played A LOT of these kind of games, but can recommend all to be honest, haha. I forgot about Maniac. That one is worth recommending for sure!
For me, Vampire Survivors is still the best one, but this one was pretty good too! And one of the other best ones I've tried is Army of Ruin, in case anyone is interested!
One game that released yesterday (I think) it's Soulstone Survivors. It's an old one on PC but it wasn't available on Xbox. Just saying it in case there's another Vampire Survivors-like game here.
I would love a plan like that if it ever reaches my region! Rewards never did. 😭
I watched the movies recently in my 30s for the first time... And they were fun. I actually watched them to play the Ubisoft game and Jedi Fallen Order. Speaking of which... The games are really good, and there's A LOT of them thanks to retrocompatibility.
Remember that the Seires S was actually my first Xbox! I think I mentioned it, so there's a lot of Xbox exclusives I need to play! Ori I tried a few times and did like it, but ended up dropping it for the next shiny game that grabbed my atention, haha. I wanna finish it once and for all.
For a month I think? We always do one month at a time, play some GP games and then again to the backlog.
I'm playing Jedi Survivor right now (EA Play) and was thinking of playing the first Ori game and maaaaybe giving Expedition 33 a second chance.
I'm not playing a lot though, so I doubt I'll have time for all of that.
Yeah, I get it. I enjoyed it. Nothing special but it was my kind of basic gameplay. But I can't see myself paying so much for it. I have a neverending backlog and now I have Game Pass again thanks to a friend so yeah... I have a lot to play right now. 🤣
I usually try to do everything except collectibles. I enjoyed the mime fights. I also liked getting most of the Pictos and stuff so that doesn't go well with me getting lost easily. It's a me problem, I know. I don't mind challenging fights or grinding a little but when I spent like 30-40 minutes running around in circles in the third area it was just frustrating, not fun (for me). I honestly think it isn't a game for me but I really really want to like it/enjoy it.
I made it to the third one and found it confusing already. And comments from other people wanting maps didn't give me a lot of confidence. 3D games with no map aren't for me. But I hope the same! I really liked the combat and music.
I might also try Expedition 33 again, give it another chance, but I get the feeling I'm not going to enjoy it without maps.
And I don't have a lot of time to play, so I don't want to spend my precious free time running around in circles.
Third person is a good sign for me, but I haven't been interested in RE for a while now. Hoping this one changes my mind, but another new character is... Eh, not for me.
I finally finished the demo and its as basic as it can be. That could be good or bad depending on you. I didn't mind, but damn. I remember reading a lot of comments on PushSquare that this was a GOTY, the best FF ever.... Really? It's beautiful to look at, and that's it. In the demo they let you try a few more Eikons and... Yeah, still pretty basic. Nothing wrong with that for me, though, I love my 6 or 7 out of 10 games.
I'm there with you my man. Somewhere along the way it seems that everything that's not an 8/9/10 is pure garbage.
I remember comments like "there's too many good games to play this" on a 7 out of 10 game (which is always subjective, too). I love my not-perfect games. You get to see the potential and cool ideas you wouldn't otherwise. Sometimes it can be really fun and enjoyable. You don't always eat gourmet food after all.

Game Hubs should have been a different button.
Re: Don't Like The New Xbox Game Hubs? Here's How To Turn Them Off
I think it was a stupid idea, not because the information, just because of how you access it. A different button would have been alright.

Thanks! I really liked Massive Chalice. I have trouble saying goodbye to my characters. 🤣
But I think I'll give it a try.

Is Othercide too hard? I've been eyeing that one, but I'm not sure.
Re: Talking Point: Have This Month's Announcements Made You Excited About Xbox Again?
Never lost interest. Having said that, I don't care about a next console yet. We're still getting games for last gen.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 21-22)
Mainly Jedi Survivor which is such a big improvement over the first one.
And a few Vampire Survivors-like games.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Next Week's 'Capcom Spotlight' Showcase?
Other games.
A new Ace Attorney.
A new Final Fight.
A Captain Commando game.
Any new 2D beat'em up I guess.
I've lost all interest in RE. I don't like remakes and I don't like first-person, so I didn't care at all for the last five games.
Pragmata looks interesting, but if it's a walking simulator I'll pass.
Re: Phil Spencer Gives Special Shoutout To Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Indie
I think this is the one I saw and never knew the title of. Looks good.
Re: Reminder: The Xbox 360 Is Surprisingly Decent For Backwards Compatibility
That's a lot more than Sony and Nintendo. 🙏🏻

Maniac is good too! Really liked it. Instant fun!

Re: PS5's Stellar Blade Could Move To Switch 2, But What About Xbox?
Honestly I never really cared about this one.
Looks kinda like FF16, just looks. But that's just my opinion, obviously it sold a lot.
Re: Xbox Release Dates In 2025: A List Of New Games Coming Out This Year
One game that released yesterday (I think) it's Soulstone Survivors.
It's an old one on PC but it wasn't available on Xbox.

Re: Xbox Announces Next-Gen Console Strategy, Promises 'Deeper Visuals' & Backwards Compatibility
This sounds like good news! I will not be in any hurry to upgrade but it sounds like we'll continue to have consoles like we always did.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Like To See A New Type Of Forza Game In 2026?
I would like something even easier or more arcade-y for my mom.
She played quite a bit of FH5 but some races ended up being difficult for her, and the menu a little hard to navigate. There were SO MUCH stuff.

Did you try the demo, my man?

Nah, know plenty of people that are more than happy.

No, no. How dare you have your own opinion and enjoy something? 😭

Just 30 then. Series S owners know what they bought

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 14-15)
Wildermyth. Amazing, amazing game.
South of Midnight.
And I have fallen into the Hoyoverse curse, so a little ZZZ.
Re: PS5 Execs Questioned About Xbox 'Moving Away From Console' In Official Sony Interview
@TapeLoader
Yeah, not saying otherwise. They don't need to, that's the sad part.
I was just talking about myself.
Re: PS5 Execs Questioned About Xbox 'Moving Away From Console' In Official Sony Interview
Sony doesn't innovate since the PS4 that's why I jumped to Xbox.
Re: PSA: Silent Hill 2 Is Still Due For Xbox Once PS5 Exclusivity Window Expires
I only played one Silent Hill game, so this one isn't for me, I think. And I wasn't a fan of the changes.
But yeah, it needs to come to Xbox.

I'll believe it when I see it. But I don't mind waiting.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From June 2025's Konami Showcase
Ah, they'll finally tackle the first one.
Also, I wasn't expecting a Castlevania announcement and was not dissapointed. 🤣
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Will Be Playable In First And Third-Person At Launch
Third person is a good sign for me, but I haven't been interested in RE for a while now.

Re: Opinion: I've Never Liked JRPGs, But Xbox's New FF16 Demo Has Me Hooked
I finally finished the demo and its as basic as it can be. That could be good or bad depending on you. I didn't mind, but damn. I remember reading a lot of comments on PushSquare that this was a GOTY, the best FF ever.... Really?
It's beautiful to look at, and that's it.

Nothing wrong with that for me, though, I love my 6 or 7 out of 10 games.
Re: MindsEye Releases To Zero Reviews, But Here's What The Players Are Saying
@Juanalf
I've honestly been in Discord gaming channels and I've read people buying games and then refunding just for that reason.
Not saying that is the case here, but there ARE people with that much free time.
Re: Opinion: I've Never Liked JRPGs, But Xbox's New FF16 Demo Has Me Hooked
@Exerion76
But even the first Final Fantasy had sci-fi stuff.
Re: MindsEye Releases To Zero Reviews, But Here's What The Players Are Saying
Are those with or without the Day 1 patch?
I'm interested only in the Xbox ones, because sometimes the games run like sh#t even on good PCs.
Re: Opinion: I've Never Liked JRPGs, But Xbox's New FF16 Demo Has Me Hooked
I think that's because it's barely a JRPG. 🤣
Re: MindsEye Launches Later Today, But Dev Warns Xbox Players To Wait For Day One Patch

I'm there with you my man. Somewhere along the way it seems that everything that's not an 8/9/10 is pure garbage.
I remember comments like "there's too many good games to play this" on a 7 out of 10 game (which is always subjective, too).
I love my not-perfect games. You get to see the potential and cool ideas you wouldn't otherwise.
Sometimes it can be really fun and enjoyable. You don't always eat gourmet food after all.
