Been gaming casually since the SNES as a youngster but found my true passion for games on the Playstation 1 (the forbidden word ooo). My addiction grew to its pinnacle with the purchase of an Xbox 360 & Xbox Live Service. A recovering GS hunter that will still play literally any game.

0
It’s that time of the year again, so TheXboxHub team is shining the spotlight on Gamescom 2023 and specifically Opening Night Live. There’s also an exclusive interview regarding Kentucky Route Zero in TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 176. You won’t want to miss this episode!

Cube Airport Review

0
Unfortunately, Cube Airport is not very innovative, so even though it won’t take much longer than an hour to finish, it feels tedious.

RIDE 5 Review

0
RIDE 5 is perhaps the most welcoming motorbike game to date, while retaining the exciting and challenging gameplay the series is famed for.

Death Becomes You Review

Death Becomes You is one of the better visual novels currently available on Xbox and easily has enough positive aspects to warrant a purchase.

Fluffy Milo delivers a wholesome Sokoban puzzler that’s easy enough for most to get to grips with.

I’d only recommend Dead Ground as your next tower defense venture if you dislike towers and prefer to take matters into your own hands.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series – Episode 1 Review

0
Don’t write off The Expanse: A Telltale Series yet, however a mediocre first episode is far from ideal.

Venba Review 

0
Don’t be too concerned about the shortness of Venba, for its fascinating story and cultural delights will certainly make up for it.

Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon Review

0
Drill Deal - Oil Tycoon comes with the tools to make it a success, but it’s plagued by issues and repetition.

SOULVARS Review

0
SOULVARS tries its best to create a unique world and theme, yet falters, and has to rely heavily on the turn-based action instead.

Embraced by Autumn Review

The intro promises some future dramatic, potentially even salacious turns, but not one of the four different stories delivers. It’s all too tentative. In the end, Embraced by Autumn could have done with just a little more confidence and sass.
