The Outer Worlds 2 — So Far, So Good I’m honestly really enjoying The Outer Worlds 2 so far. Usually, I get bored with games pretty fast, but this one keeps me interested. There’s a ton of variety — different planets to explore, funny dialogue options, cool weapons, and plenty of choices that actually feel like they matter. One thing I really like is how easy it is to craft and upgrade weapons. You don’t have to spend hours grinding for parts or figuring out complicated menus — it’s straightforward and fun to mess around with. The game has that same sarcastic humor from the first one, but it feels more polished this time. The world feels alive, and I keep finding little details that make me want to keep playing. If you liked the first game or just want an RPG that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this one’s definitely worth checking out.

Mafia: The Old Country tries to recapture the magic of the series, but unfortunately, it falls short in key areas. While the atmosphere and setting do a decent job of evoking the classic Mafia vibe, the gameplay – particularly the shooting – really drags the experience down. Combat feels sluggish and unresponsive, which makes the action more of a chore than a thrill. For a game that leans heavily on gunfights and tense encounters, this is a big problem. It’s disappointing, especially considering how much potential this game had. Overall, Mafia: The Old Country isn’t terrible, but it left me underwhelmed. If you’re a die-hard fan, it might be worth checking out – just go in with tempered.

Cyberpunk 2077 – A Second Chance That Pays Off I recently picked Cyberpunk 2077 back up after some time away, and I’m blown away by how much the game has improved. With the major updates and Phantom Liberty expansion, Night City finally feels like the living, breathing dystopia it was always meant to be. The exploration is where the game really shines now. Whether you’re following main story beats or drifting through side gigs, there’s always something strange, emotional, or downright fascinating around the corner. The city rewards curiosity—wander off the main path and you’ll stumble across datashards, hidden lore, and eerie little side missions that flesh out the world in a way that feels organic and alive. The gameplay has also seen real refinement. The addition of Relic abilities (if you’re diving into Phantom Liberty) adds new depth to combat and build variety. The reworked police system and vehicle combat make the open world feel more reactive and dangerous in the best way. If you left Cyberpunk early on or just never dove deep into it, now’s the time. It's not just a redemption story for the developers—it's an entirely new experience. Night City is finally worth getting lost in.

Not for me this. Game is clunky and too much to think about. Graphics are mediocre and feels slow and boring. Game refunded by Microsoft.

I just wanted to share my excitement and thoughts on the latest Assassin's Creed game. I’ve played every single one in the series, and I have to say – this is hands down the best yet! The game is absolutely stunning, and I can’t get enough of it. The world-building, especially with the dynamic weather and environments, truly takes the experience to a whole new level. I’ve seen some negative reviews floating around, but honestly, I wouldn’t let those dissuade you. This game is a masterpiece, and it’s definitely worth playing. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds!

Make sure you level up in the main game before buying this.

Seriously, ignore the negative reviews. This is hands down the best Fifa yet. I'm playing it on Xbox Series X and its amazing. Everything feels right, its hard to explain. I've had every Fifa since the Brian Plank days. My only negative is the price, it's far too expensive for Series X.

I have played every Fifa from 94 with the great Brain Blank of Germany! This is hands down the best. The passing is crisp, the movement of players and the pace is just right, Its really responsive as well. I am just enjoying playing it to be honest, its actually fun to play. Forget all the FUT rubbish, just enjoy the game for what it is and don't take any notice from the negative reviews. ENJOY 😉!

Amazing game and that's my honest opinion. It's so addictive. What more do you want, it's on Xbox game PASS. Fantastic game and thanks for Xbox yet again for adding this beauty to game PASS.
