Grounded
Grounded is a captivating survival game crafted by Obsidian Entertainment, renowned for classics like Fallout: New Vegas. Set in a backyard, players shrink to insect size and navigate through towering grass blades and towering plants. The game, released in July 2020, tasks players with scavenging for resources, crafting tools and shelters, and fending off menacing insects. With a blend of exploration, base-building, and combat mechanics, players must adapt to the miniature world’s challenges to survive. Grounded received acclaim for its immersive gameplay and stunning visuals, offering a unique perspective on the survival genre. It continues to enthrall players with its richly detailed environments and challenging gameplay mechanics, earning its place as a standout title in the genre.

Hi-fi rush
In this narrative, we delve into the journey of Chai, a young aspiring rockstar who enrolls in the Armstrong project by Vandelay. This project promises to replace human limbs with advanced robotic parts. Developed by Tango Gameworks, the story unfolds as Chai navigates the complexities of his newfound enhancements while pursuing his dreams in the music industry. As he grapples with the moral implications of his cybernetic upgrades, Chai’s path intertwines with thrilling adventures, personal growth, and unforeseen challenges. Tango Gameworks weaves a compelling tale that explores themes of identity, ambition, and the human condition against a backdrop of technological innovation and self-discovery.

Pentiment
Obsidian Entertainment, known for bold experimentation, embraces risks with each new venture. Unlike their past blockbusters, their latest creation, by their own admission, is a scaled-down endeavor. Yet, it doesn’t lack meticulous care — a unique work encapsulating the developers’ passions and experiences. Pentiment embodies precisely this ethos — an intriguing homage to the late Middle Ages, resembling an interactive painting from that era. The concept fascinated us, especially after a preview session with the developers months ago. Obsidian revealed it as an ideal fit for Xbox Game Pass, promising an original experience that resonates with history buffs and gamers alike.

The console war
Within the context of the so-called console war, dynamics of competition often give rise to toxic behaviors among fan bases. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that the true essence of gaming lies in the joy of playing and sharing experiences with friends, regardless of the platform. The notion of ending exclusives could represent a positive shift, allowing players to access a wide range of titles without system limitations. This could foster a more inclusive and less divisive atmosphere within the gaming community, where the focus is on fun and camaraderie rather than rivalry. The end of exclusives might be seen as a sign of a future where players can come together to celebrate the diversity and richness of the gaming industry.
