Wobbly Life Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 9d

REVIEW: Wobbly Life by Jamie Collyer

"it’s not something to play solo, but Wobbly Life, with co-op buddies, can be a surprising amount of fun"

@wobblylifedev.bsky.social

www.xboxtavern.com/wobbly-life-...

Out of early access, and boasting more content for players to explore, can this wobbly world prove worth exploring?

Heading Out Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 12d

REVIEW: Heading Out by @badgercommander.bsky.social

"Heading Out has a clear sense of style and carries the whole experience. It falters a little with the driving model and some small bugs"

@crunchingkoalas.bsky.social

www.xboxtavern.com/heading-out-...

AJ is Heading Out, and he is happy to be coming home with a review

Arctic Awakening Review - Xbox Tavern

1 1

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 15d

REVIEW: Arctic Awakening by Corey Lyle

"Arctic Awakening does fine, and I'd hear an argument to include it within top contenders. For me though, what holds it back is the length and the slowness"

www.xboxtavern.com/arctic-awake...

Corey chills out to Arctic Awakening but does it snowball into something deeper? His review will give you everything you need to know!

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 16d

REVIEW: Platypus Recycled by Jamie Collyer

A challenging shooter that will test even the best shmup players

Bad Cheese Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 19d

REVIEW: Bad Cheese by James Davie

"Bad Cheese is definitely a solid effort despite the sense it could be tightened up and improved in terms of gameplay"

@feardemic.bsky.social @badcheesegame.bsky.social

www.xboxtavern.com/bad-cheese-r...

The public domain strikes again in this rodent-fused horror title

Zoe Begone! Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 20d

REVIEW: Zoe Begone! by Jamie Collyer

"Zoe Begone!’s controls proving too big a hurdle in getting to the fun for my tastes"

@retchyyy.bsky.social @pmstudios.bsky.social

www.xboxtavern.com/zoe-begone-r...

Bullet hell x run'n'gun misses the mark

Echoes of the End Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 25d

REVIEW: Echoes of the End by @badgercommander.bsky.social

"hard to be in this position where a game has sumptuous graphics, solid story and voice acting, but I just found myself disengaged and annoyed"

@deepsilvergames.bsky.social
www.xboxtavern.com/echoes-of-th...

AJ screams into a cavern and what returns is Echoes of the End.

REVIEW: Indiana Jones: The Order of Giants DLC by Jamie Collyer

"newer players who will have it folded into their organic playthrough are in for a tough but enjoyable addition"

www.xboxtavern.com/indiana-jone...

Is it too tall an order for this bite-sized mission to get players back on board?

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · 28d

Luto Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · Sep 8

REVIEW: Luto by @Enaksan

"a strong debut title and easily makes its case as one of the better indie horrors in recent times"

@selectaplay.bsky.social

www.xboxtavern.com/luto-review/

Psychological horror that is equal parts tense and obtuse

Robots at Midnight Review - Xbox Tavern

Xbox Tavern @xboxtavern.bsky.social · Sep 6

REVIEW: Robots at Midnight by @badgercommander.bsky.social

www.xboxtavern.com/shinobi-art-...

Sega's revitalisation of my youth continues with Shinobi!

REVIEW: Mafia: The Old Country by James Davie

"is definitely worth taking in, but when gameplay is king, you may feel underwhelmed that it spends more time focusing on its visual and storytelling qualities"
