@FraserG Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark releases on June 6

@Kaloudz You can do everything even after playing the ending.
Btw, how do you type spoilers on this site?

@Kaloudz If you didn't beat Simon, then you surely have even more "main side content" to do. I don't mean superbosses like the flying serpent, but actual cutscenes/story content. The game lets you go straight to the ending on A t 3, but there is a lot of story content around the world.

Monster Train 2

I totally forgot this was a thing lmao.

Excellent news, they deserve this success and much more.

@TheUnrestCure I'm loving the new tracks 🔥

@Nic-Noc20th-C It's much simpler than many people think: brand power + momentum following the success of the PS4's early years. Plus, Xbox's marketing has been poor, to say the least.

Tainted Grail: Conquest has beautiful worldbuilding and very good voice acting, so that's what I'm most looking for in The Fall of Avalon. I have it pre-installed on my Xbox for when I get out of work.

Xbox's attempt to fix its interface could end up being a longer battle than the FTC's case against Microsoft.

It's a great sequel! The deployment phase significantly improved the game flow.

Monster Train 2 let's go!

I pray everyday for this to happen.

I'd say it's a 7 so far (chapter 5).

SMT V: Vengeance and Doom TDA

Absolutely!
You can't really beat the value that the Series S + Game Pass combo delivers.

I loved Lost in Random, so my initial reaction to this game's genre shift was cautious, but I'll still give it a fair chance.

Played the first chapter, so far so good.

As long as they keep using some of that money to fund passion projects like Kunitsu-Gami, I'm happy.

We'll see at least one FF at the next showcase (VII/XVI), maybe even a "shadow drop".

Always wanted to play it but didn't find the time, now I'm glad I waited.

I hope Todd keeps at least as involved as he was on S1.

I liked Hellblade 2 but Hellblade is more focused and that makes it a better experience.

This is awesome!
@dreadful I agree, crossplay should be standard.

Short answer: Gears of War 2

Nothing really changed on my playthrough after this patch. The nerf won't impact the majority of players because the damage this skill did was absurd. It's nothing at all like the balance changes that Elden Ring had, for example.

Police Simulator looks fun!

I was expecting this game for 2026 anyway.

@Sketti I loved the minigames. It sounds like a "you" problem!

Clair Obscur and it's not even close!
Blue Prince after that, and Oblivion just because Todd=God.

Looks rough sadly

I wanted to start IXION, but I'm finding it really hard to pause Clair Obscur!
@somnambulance It's very dark and sad at some moments and one character even remarks that on the campsite, so it's not like the game isn't aware of itself.
The setting's gloominess is justified given the state of their world. I think the game is pretty transparent with this.

@jesse_dylan Same but because I don't play on PC anymore. I couldn't be happier with this generation's trend of porting strategy games to consoles.

I loved the world from Tainted Grail: Conquest so I'm counting on The Fall of Avalon to share the same vibes.
Monster Train 2 is the one I'm most hyped about on this list.

@Fiendish-Beaver What article?

Almost 30 hours so far.

I can't recommend Little Kitty, Big City enough!

I'm not surprised. The last trailer was in December 2023!

@Stamnoso It runs decently (30fps but no lag at all) and looks beautiful on my "2k" display.

It gets even trickier when you are a movie fan as well! I usually play after work, and watch films/series at night.

The release of GTA 6 (who knows when) will "affect" almost all games because it has no competition and will sell a lot just because of the brand.

@Ricky-Spanish Evolve had a fun premise, but the devs didn't handle its support very well.

Easy top 3 for sure.

I'm glad people are starting to pull the plug early on projects they know will fail instead of lying to the players, to the investors and themselves and then bombing hard. The big example of this was Hyenas, which lost Sega money but saved them more in the long run + their image was not damaged as it could have been if it launched.

Game Pass is one of the best things that could have happened to most gamers. You can still buy the games if you want. It's a win-win for the players.

Hyped for Monster Train 2!

The trailer looks good. I like the boss theme.

It could benefit a lot from mod support.

I wish all developers were as committed to optimization as Ubisoft.

@FarmDog08 THAT moment hit too hard
