    Seafarer: The Ship Sim Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There are so many different jobs you can try out in the world of simulation games. You can, of course, drive trains and manage railway tracks. You can fly all sorts of aeroplanes around the world and back again. You can even run an airport, or take charge of the fire department within one. And that’s without counting the many DIY sims or police games that are out there. But being a ship captain, or simply living a life on the open seas, is something that comes around far less often. That’s until

    Fear The Timeloop Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Time loops are a popular fictional device. The idea is that a lead character experiences the same moment in time over and over again, searching for a way to beat the loop by changing their actions or finding a way to break free. The classic example is the film Groundhog Day, in which Bill Murray plays a weatherman trapped in the same day. We’ve seen it used multiple times in games too, particularly in the likes of DEATHLOOP and Twelve Minutes. Now we have Fear The Timeloop, an old-school surviva

    Rivage Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Apollo 11 command module pilot Michael Collins is often described as the ‘loneliest man in history’. While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were walking on the Moon together, Collins was orbiting on the far side, completely cut off from contact with Earth. In video games, the idea of being alone in space, whether aboard a ship or stranded on a distant planet, is a familiar one. From Deliver Us the Moon to Outer Wilds, we seem to love the idea of being left to our own devices in the great unknown.

    BLACKSHARD Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I sometimes dream that I’m wandering around cities at night, walking for what feels like hours. But these aren’t normal places. They’re strange architectural behemoths where logic and budgets seem to have been thrown out of the window, with vast landscapes of structures stretching endlessly towards the horizon. Usually, I wake up after a few minutes of wandering, but it’s a place I return to quite often in my dreams, and it always leaves me perplexed. So it was with great surprise that playing B

    Bus Simulator 27 Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There was a TV programme in the UK called On the Buses, which was on in the early 1970s. It was a comedy that showed a couple of bus drivers getting up to naughty shenanigans and making it look like they had the best job in the world. In real life though? Well, bus drivers have to deal with traffic, angry customers, and pedestrians walking out in front of them. Bus Simulator 27 sits somewhere between these two worlds. There is a narrative this time around, with you getting involved with characte
