Reviews of Xbox Game Studios Games
Review South of Midnight (PS5) - The Most Beautiful Simple Game
Into the Deep South
South of Midnight is the kind of game Microsoft would have had to consistently publish to make its Xbox Game Pass subscription truly succeed. This is a relatively straightforward 12-hour adventure with little in the way of gameplay innovation, yet it ships with such stunning presentation and design that you feel compelled to...
Review Avowed (PS5) - Overlooked Xbox RPG Arrives with Some Big Upgrades
Green with Envoy
Avowed first released on Xbox and PC just over a year ago, and now having played through it ourselves on PS5, we can't help but think that it deserves a bit more recognition.

Stick the landing
Once the exclusive domain of the PC, demand has seen hardcore sims like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 land comfortably on consoles like the PS5.

Review The Outer Worlds 2 (PS5) - Mechanically Fantastic RPG Struggles to Be Memorable
In one ear, Outer the other
The Outer Worlds 2 is Obsidian trying to rediscover the role-playing magic that once defined it as a juggernaut within the genre. And in a lot of ways, this bigger, and generally better sequel accomplishes its goals. Compared to The Outer Worlds — and indeed, compared to many other modern RPGs — the game provides...
Review Ninja Gaiden 4 (PS5) - A Bloodthirsty Action Game Ripped Straight from the PS3 Era
Stark raven mad
Ninja Gaiden 4 feels like a game that came out 15 years ago, and we mean that as a compliment. This blood-soaked, hard-as-nails action game eschews many contemporary design decisions, instead giving players a traditional, linear experience that's refreshingly straightforward. A collaboration between action specialists PlatinumGames...
