Hello there fellow gamers.
An Xbox game that I want to shout out to is Dungeons of Hinterberg.
Been playing the game on both my Series X and PC every now and then, whenever I´m not playing Metaphor or SF6.
It has a very charming setting, unique visual aesthetics and the gameplay mechanics are pretty solid, alongside some interesting puzzles.
And it has a similar Persona Calendar and Bond system, although very casual friendly in a good way. It´s pretty good.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Just want to wish a Happy New Year of 2025, full of great games and amazing experiences.
Here´s hopping this Hobby of ours (Passion for me personaly) never ends and keeps on improving with memorable moments of excitment and joy all around.
Cheers everyone and happy 2025 gaming to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
I bought quite a lot of games for my Series X this year, but I would say that 60% of them were digital since there were some great deals this year.
I got 10 physical games and 12 digital games for Xbox alone.
Will probably get a few more digital games because of the Christmas deals on both Xbox and Playstation.
Wich means, the backlog keeps on growing....... But some of these deals are to good to miss out though, so yeah, there is that.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hello there fellow gamers
I actualy finished more games on my Series X than I tought I would.

• Assassins Creed Origins (second time tough, the first time was on PS4);
• Assassins Creed Odissey (started on PC, but finished on Xbox);
• Lies of P (started on 2023, but finished on 2024). Great game in a list of other great games;
• Assassins Creed Valhalla (also started on 2023, but finished in 2024);
• Cocoon. Great puzzle game;
• Hellblade 2. Not as good as the first one in my opinion;
• Assassins Creed Mirage. A more traditional but fun stealth game;
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Awesome beat em up game. Had a lot of fun wiht this one;
• Metaphor Refantazio. Amazing RPG and the final game that I finished on my Xbox Series X.
  All and all, a pretty good year. Wish I had more time to play and finish my other Xbox games, namely:
• Cyberpunk 2077;
• Scarlet Nexus;
• Alone In The Dark;
• Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden;
• Sea of Stars;
• Unknown 9 Awakening;
• Alan Wake 2.
  Oh well, I´ll play and finish them eventualy...... I hope 😜
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Just want to wish to the Pure Xbox staff and to everybody a Merry Christmas and Happy Gaming Holidays with your loved ones.
Cheers everyone and all the very best

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend will probably finish Hellblade 2 and continue my Metaphor Refantazio journey on my Series X.
On my PS5, I´m currently playing Black Myth Wukong and more Street Fighter 6...... And maybe will play more Clive in Tekken 8.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Cakefish Hello there friend;
"NAMELESS KING IS IN THE TRAILER, WHAT?!?!?!"
That was my reaction also. Still have his two phases movesets memorized from the many atempts 😜
I even saw the DS3 Fire Keeper as well.
Elden Ring with flying mounts, parkour, Sekiro deflect mechanic and Crazy Bosses? YES PLEASE and THANK you.
I guess I´ll add more 100 hours to my already 300h. No biggie.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers;
On this weekend I´ll continue playing the following games:

• Metaphor Refantazio, finaly have the last party member with 78 hours played. Don´t really want it to end as I´m loving the game;
• Cyberpunk 2077, who knew I would have so much fun just exploring Night City. Another game were I never use fast travel;
• Street Fighter 6, new game balance patch means more reasons to play the game. And there is Also Giant Atack Boss Sirn Bison on Battle Hub wich is fun to fight and somehow, not as difficult as Sirn Akuma was back then.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

  Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

@GeeEssEff Hello there friend.
I´ve been doing this kind of thing since forever.
Two of the most intersting ones:

• Metal gear Solid 3 Snake Eater. For some reason I decided to stop playing the game while I was fighting the Sniper Boss The End..... And those who knows, will know how weird it was when I got back to it;
• Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. Still remember loading the game and seeing that I was at 90% and that made not want to continue, because I was having so much fun playing it.
  I didn´t want it to end, you know?
  Eventualy I finished both games and have finish many others, but there will always be one or two that I just stop and eventualy go back.
  You said it though, we must be a little weird 😜
  Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll probably go back to the amazing Cyberpunk 2077 and finaly play The Phamtom Liberty dlc.
Will also go back to play the also amazing Metaphor Refantazio. One of the best RPGs out there.
I do tend to stop playing games when I get closer to the end. Weird, right?
And will probably play some Street Fighter 6 online.
There are so many games in my backlog, that I don´t even know what to do sometimes. Oh well, not a bad problem to have 😜
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
Hopefully both Everwild and Blade turn out to be really good games.
It´s been awhile since Rare has made a singleplayer game that does feel like a Rare game, so we´ll see.
As for Blade, in Arkane Lyon I trust fully, even though this will be their first third person action game. But they do have the talent, so let them cook.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´m all about Metaphor ReFantazio on my Series X and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5. Been having a lot of fun online matches with some pretty good players in SF6.
Also, it has been awhile since I´ve been so enamored with a turn based rpg like Metaphor and I do think this will be my game for the next months.
Although, I do want to finish at least one playtrough of both Sillent Hill 2 and Alan Wake 2 as well.
So many good games to play. Gamers are eating good.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing Astro Bot, wich is the best game ever, more Street Fighter 6 online matches, learned some new Ryu combos, gotta do them in a match and continue Kay Vess Star Wars Outlaws journey all on my PS5.
I´m putting my Series X on rest until I get my physical copies of Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition, Metaphor: Refantazio and Assassins Creed Sahdows...... Or until I decide to play Control or Lies of P again 😜
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Cheers

@BowsersBuddy Hello there friend;
It is quite fun and the feeling of being inside the Star Wars Universe is definitely there.
Also, I agree with you about the side missions. They do feel more part of kay´s progression and evolution as a Space Scondrel.
I might also becoming slighty addicted to Kessel Sabacc 😜
Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers;
It seems I´m one of the few that´s really enjoying the game.
It is a Star Wars game that feels like Star Wars, it has the vibe, the ambiance, the style and many references to the source material, has it should any adaptation have.
I do think the highlights for me are the actual Space exploration and Space combat as well as the different factions that may get in favour with some and not so good with others.
Does it have it´s flaws? Oh yes, it does have indeed.
Gunplay could be a litle better as well as the games stealth.
But overall, it´s a pretty good game and more importantly, I´m having a lot of fun with it. Isn´t that what matters the most?
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing Star Wars Outlaws and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5 and replaying Control and Lies of P on my Series X.
I´m really enjoying SW Outlaws, there is a lot to like and enjoy, plus it is a Star Wars game that looks and feels like Star Wars.
Don´t understand the negativity surronding this game and others for that matter.
People should just enjoy playing what they like. That´s what I do.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers,
Another very interesting brand new IP from a new game studio is great to see. And it looks amazing to boot.
I totally get what @FarmDog08 is saying. Lost Odissey did had a mechanic were, when it was your character´s turn to attack, if you let go of the right trigger at the right time, you would do more damage. Made every battle way more engaging.
But this game takes it to a completely new other level.
Can´t wait for this one next year.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finishing AC Mirage, a really good stealth game and finally finished the amazing Lies of P, I´m now currently thinking of playing Alone in the Dark and maybe, probably play Control for a third time on my Series X. I just love that game, it´s so fun.
Although I do want to replay Lies of P for all the achievements.... And because the game is that good.
Will also dable in Rise of the Ronin and some Street Fighter 6 matches on my PS5.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
That is a though question. Only three Xbox games Huh?
Okay. i think I got it:

• Mass effect Legendary Edition. I have played this trilogy 7 times already, so...... what´s another 7 more;
• Street Fighter 6 or Tekken 8. Both are amazing fighting games and have been my main fightin game focus has of late. Plus they both have really good singleplayer content;
• Elden Ring with Shadow of the Erdtree DLC included.
  Might just be my ultimate open world action rpg to have.
  Although, has I´m currently playing AC Odissey, that one is another really good contender, alongside AC Valhalla.
  Yeah, very difficult to only chose three. Should have been six at the very least 😜
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

@Jenkinss Hi there friend.
I absolutely agree. That whole fight with Bayle the Dread and Igon hyping you up was PEAK Fromsoftware Boss fight for me personaly.
It was so Hype and Spectacular in both visuals, music and character. Utter briliant.
Cheers

Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finished the amazing Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on my PS5, now I´m back at playing Assassins Creed Odissey on my Series X.
I´m pretty late to the party with AC Odissey and I don´t see why the game got so much flak. It is pretty great in my opinion.
I´ve been pleasantly surprised by the narrative and beautiful Greek landscapes. It is a BIG game, that´s for sure.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
There were some very nice games in the Xbox Showcase, but my number one has to be Expedition 33.
It looked absolutly amazing, in both presentation and combat. Good to see more turned based rpgs being made.
The other games I´m interested are:

• Assassins Creed Shadows;
• DOOM: The Dark Ages;
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard;
• Fable;
• Gears of War E-Day;
• Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater;
• Perfect Dark;
• South of Midnight;
• Stalker 2;
• Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
  So many games, so little time to enjoy them.
  Probably one of the best problems to have as a gamer.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.
It´s all I can think about right now, playing this gem of a game.
And Nothing Else Matters....... Until I´m done with it.
Then, I´ll probably go back to AC Odissey and Rise of the Ronin.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Lup Hello and thanks friend. I´m enjoying it very much.
Good to know that more people like AC Odissey.
It is a very different AC game, but it is, so far a pretty good open world stealth action rpg.
And Bramble and the Mountain King is quite a interesting game,
that´s for sure.
Cheers and have a good one

Hello there fellow gamers.
Since I have finished AC Origins (again) and both dlc (for the first time), and I am still in the mood for these type of games, I just started AC Odissey last night, so I´ll be playing that one on my Series X.
As for my PS5, I´ll be playing more online SF6 matches and maybe I will finally start Rise of the Ronin.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Scummbuddy Hello there friend.
Honestly? I saw the Pure Xov Bingo Card that mentioned Blue Dragon Remake, so that is why I put it there alongside Lost Odissey, wich are two of my favourite JRPGs of all time and I just want more people to give it a go...... And maybe get Sakaguchi-san and Uematsu-san to join together again and make sequels of both games. That is all.
Cheers

Hello there fellow gamers.

• Fable gameplay. Yes, please. Let´s see what Playground is cooking with this very dormant franchise;
• Blue Dragon Remake and Lost Odissey Remake, because why not? Yes and Yes, please and thank you;
• Forza Horizon Japan. Could be very cool;
• Doom Dark Ages. Doom Guy/Slayer shooting demons in medieval times? Yes, please;
• Clockwork Revolution. Yes, with a release date of course;
• Hollow Knight Silk Song. We can only hope, but Yes;
• Marcus Fenix Collection. Absolutely Yes. It is probably the announcemnt that I´m most looking for;
• South of Midnight gameplay. Very curious with this one;
• Gears of War 6. I mean, it´s been way to long. Coalition has to show it off..... Right? Hopefully so;
• Something Brand New that excites people.
  Those are my wishes and predictions. We´ll see waht we get.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Don´t miss out Bramble: The Mountain King.
It is a very interesting and grim adventure game set in a world inspired by dark, Nordic fables.
Worth checking in my opinion.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
Seems I´m not the only one with very fond memories of the original Test Drive Unlimited on Xbox 360.
That game paved the way to games like Forza Horizon and The Crew franchises.
I loved exploring the Island of Oahu with both cars and bikes.
The game was just fun and chill.
Hopefully TDU Solar Cown has the same spark and the same style the original had. We´ll see.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
For this weekend I´ll continue my AC Origins second playtrough, this time on my Series X with both DLCs to play around and online matches in Street Fighter 6 on my PS5, sice Akuma just droped and, surprise, he is very fun to play and very fun to fight against.
I love what Capcom did with Sirn Akuma Giant Attack Boss fight in the Battle Hub. The game needs more of this stuff.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
For the last two months I´ve been in a Open World Action RPG frenzy with games like FF7 Rebirth, Horizon 2 Forbidden West on my PS5 and AC Valhalla on my Series X.
And now that I´ve finished AC Valhalla and finally got my 1Tb Expansion Card, been installing more games and one of them is AC Origins, one of my favourite AC and favourite Open World Action RPGs, sooooo......... I decided to play the game again, but now on my Xbox and sweet 60 FPS.
I don´t know how long I´ll keep playing these type of games, since they take so much time, but as long as I´m having fun, I´ll continue indulging myself.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
This seems about right. We haven´t heard much from id software in a long while and the rumours for a prequel game could also be true.
Kinda excited for the nex Xbox gaming showcase.
Xbox really needs a WIN and needs to excite fans with great GAMES. A lot of people are in bad funk as of now and they really have to bring some positivity and excitment.
Wich may prove difficult, but not impossible.
Fingers crossed for it to be an amazing one.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
As of now I´m just currently enjoying my time with Assassins Creed Valhalla on my Series X and Lies of P on my PC.
Have already finished the main game of AC and now doing the dlc expasions.
And Lies of P is becoming better and better the more I play it.
So yeah, those are the two games I´ll be enjoying.
After those, I might jump to some of my new PS5 game purchases, wich are quite a few.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
This are some really bad news. For gamers, developers and Xbox in general.
I can understand Arkane Austin to a certain degree, because one bad game, does not make the whole studio bad. They made Prey. And it´s awesome.
And then there´s Tango..... I mean REALLY? Their one and only japanese developer? Who has some pretty good games under their belt, some that could/should probably get sequels?
What a tremendous disapointing decision by the Xbox game division administration.
Hopefully, the developers that will unfortunately be laid off by this, will find either other studios to work with or start a brand new studio and continue to do their passion.
All the very best for them. Cheers

Hello there fellow gamers,
Man, this games were my childhood on both PSOne and Sega Dreamcast back in the day.....
And just like @el_pieablo and @Chinesus mentioned, the voice acting is still very cringe....
Wich is kinda part of the game´s charm, I guess.
But these are two rpg gems from the past.
Great to see them on Xbox and Playstation.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
This thing also happened to me.
Yesterday I turn my Series X on to check some games and play the Original Dead Space and had no games on my wishlist.
Went to do it again and had the same result.
Hopefully they can fix this anoying glitch.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
These past few days have been quite something in the Xbox side of things.
As someone that owns a Switch, a PS5 and a Series X (and PC, mostly for work, but games as well) the only thing I care about is having amazing gaming experiences to play and have fun with, regardless of platform.
But I´m not going to mention that exclusive titles don´t matter, because they do matter and they always will.
This is the main reason people have different gaming systems. To play the interesting exclusives on each platform.
It is funny though how over the years, both Xbox and Playstation have lost some exclusive titles over each other.
Games like Tekken, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid and Devil May Cry were for the most part of them PS exclusive games.
There came the Xbox 360 and Tekken 6, Final Fantasy XIII, Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid HD Colection were on there.
And what about games like Lost Planet, Enchanted Arms, Eternal Sonata, Bioshock and Mass Effect that were Xbox 360 exclusive games at the time, would eventually come to PS3. Even if Mass Effect took longer because it was published by Microsoft and later aquired by EA.
So this kind of thing is not really new or bad in any way.
Even if some games from Xbox portfolio will be made available in other platforms, that doesn´t change the many Xbox exclusives is already has and will have in the future.
And Xbox does seem to have a bright future full of great games and new hardware. Excited for the June showcase for sure.
Sorry for the long post. Just my two cents on this matter.
And @kaloudz, my friend, keep posting. Your positivity and excitement for games is almost as good as mine 😉
Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers
From that list I have to go with Hellblade 2. Very curious what will they do with both story and gameplay combat mechanics.
As for other first party titles:

• Gears of War 6. Really want a new Gears of War game;
• Clockwork Revolution. Looks super good;
• New Halo. Give us a good Halo campaign 343, pretty please;
• The new Fable game by Playground Games. Hope they can nail the style, setting and humour of the old games;
• Indiana Jone and The Great Circle. It´s an Indy videogame by the makers of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay. Enough said.
  We shall see what the future holds.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

@Kaloudz Hey there friend.
The Bioshock games are some of the most incredible FPS games of all time. Especially the first. (and Infinite in my opinion).
This is why JUDAS is one of my most anticipated games.
If you never got spoiled, then you must play at least the first Bioshock game.
Cheers and happy gaming

@Kaloudz Hi there friend. I was about to say the exact same thing, alongside Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition.
Two great games at a low price.
Really wish both Capcom and Square Enix could remake each game.
Capcom is on fire with ultiple and really good releases, so maybe Code Veronica has a chance. We´ll see.
Cheers and have a good one

Hit there fellow gamers.
If this Xbox Developer Direct is as good as last year, then not only will we get some really good information, gameplay and release dates, hopefully, but also, maybe another nice surprise game being revealed and possibly shadow dropped? Maybe.
Very excited for January 18th.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
These are some good news for Xbox.
Quite curious with both Idiana Jones and Hellblade 2.
Avowed could also won me over, since it´s Obsidian we´re talking about.
And then there is the surprise anouncement with a possible shadow drop. There I say Silksong perhaps? Fingers crossed.
Or maybe a Gears of War collection? Who knows....
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hello there fellow gamers.
I would say my gaming resolution for this year to be try as much as possible to finish my HUGE backlog of games spread out from Xbox Series X, PS5 and Switch.
Also to only purchase games that are either on sale or a really good day one deal.
And to keep enjoying this hobby/passion of mine all year.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hi there fellow gamers.
I have always enjoyed AC since the first and especially since the second, wich is still one of my favourites, until AC3 and AC4 Black Flag wich I didn´t like them as much.
The next ones were better, in my opinion and started to showcase the next gen hardware(AC Unity is still gorgeous even today).
But I´ll say that AC Origins was a blast to play back in the day and I just love the setting and time period.
I have yet to play Odissey, but plan to do eventually.
AC Valhalla is the AC game that I am currently playing and I´m really enjoying it. The Viking setting also helps.
So yeah, I like the "Modern" AC games quite a bit.
And I am very excited to finally play an AC game in Feudal Japan. Cannot wait for it.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

@Edwirichuu hey there friend.
Have to agree with pretty much everyone here.
RE2 is a very good game(not as good as the PSone original, but still pretty good) that you can play with two characters and multiple times, wich means great replay value.
Ac Valhalla, in my opinion, is a great open world action rpg and it has become one of my favourite AC games, even though I´m only in the middle of it with 38 plus hours or so.
Both great additions to gamepass, no doubt.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hi there fellow gamers.
my favourite memories of 2023 are.

• The Developer Direct with Hi-Fi Rush shadow drop;
• Finally playing AC Valhalla and really enjoy it.
• Playing Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and loving every second.
  Hopefully, there will be much more good memories to have next year for Xbox.
  Until then, cheers and have a great New Year everyone

Hi there fellow gamers and Merry Christmas.
Hope you all have a great day with your loved ones and play some good, fun and exciting videogames.
Cheers everyone and all the best

@Lup Some great games you got there friend.

• Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons definitely leaves an impression, especialy at the end of the game. Kinda curious if there will be any changes with the remake though;
• Vanquish is still one of the best and stylish third person shooter;
• Injustice 2 Legendary Edition. Another one I got because it was so cheap even though I already have it on my PS4;
• Scarlet Nexus is another game that I own in physical media and still haven´t gotten to play it yet;
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I mean, why wouldn´t people purchase one of the very best rpg trilogys ever made.
  In the wise words of the narrator from the amazing
  Street Fighter 3 Third Strike "Yeah, that makes sense".
• Asterigos: Curse of the Stars. Very curious on that one. Let me know if it´s any good or not. Might be another good purchase.
  Cheers

@Lup Hey there friend.
Yeah, I was just waiting for an excuse to purchase and now I have it. Bought it on my Series X here, in my country Portugal.
Is the game not available outside Europe maybe? It is the 360 version if I´m not mistaken.
Game is fantastic and still holds up very well.
That´s odd. Well, hope it will be available everywere eventualy.
Cheers and have a good one
