Bargains from the latest Xbox sales

Heidi

Heidi — Carto

The first thing I noticed about Carto was the beautiful hand-drawn storybook art style, but Carto then holds your attention with its main mechanism: you solve puzzles and explore the world by rearranging the pieces of your map to create new areas. to make. It’s an engaging gameplay mechanic, and Carto doesn’t let it linger long enough to get boring – the game should take you between six and eight hours to complete. Usually when I like a game I wish it didn’t end, but six to eight hours seems like the right length for Carto’s story, and it was quite nice to have a game that was so easy to pick up and without shame on you for not remembering endless world-building details or bits of half-forgotten knowledge. That shorter playtime might make me hesitant to recommend it at full price, but at 50% off, Carto can be a great option if you’re looking for a fun, relaxed adventure and puzzle game.

Luke

Luke – The Jackbox Party Pack 6

My friends and I really got into the Jackbox games during the lockdown, as they turned out to be a great way to virtually hang out while we played a selection of easy-to-pick up party games that anyone can understand, and play remotely or follow on any device. Since previous packs proved to be a hit, I picked up The Jackbox Party Pack 6 to spice things up, and it contains some of our favorite games in the series. Trivia Murder Party 2 is, as those two suggest, a sequel to one of my team’s Jackbox favorites, so an improved version of the horror-tinged quiz game would always be welcome. Unlike TMP2, which anyone can jump into, Role Models requires a group of fairly good friends to run properly, as it involves dividing your friends into a number of different strange categories. But with the right audience, it’s a fun time. Joke Boat, meanwhile, is great with an extroverted group that’s willing to throw in on its fast-paced stand-up comedy nonsense, but might fall flat on a more reserved group, or one that constantly falls back on the exact same low-brow stuff, which can grow old quickly… isn’t it, Cards Against Humanity?

Dictionary is another series favorite of ours, and the way the process of assigning meanings to made-up words, making up synonyms, and using them in sentence streams can make for brilliant organic jokes that can either snowball or spin in totally unexpected directions. . Best of all, it even keeps an evolving dictionary for you of all previous winning definitions, which is fun to revisit from time to time for some free laughs and great memories. Finally, Push the Button is one that wasn’t played much at the time, because the among us-esque cheater game just works much better in person, and that was kind of frowned upon at the time. We’ve been playing ever since and it’s crazy fun, so if you want to call your friends sister in something new, it’s definitely worth a try. All in all, I think this is definitely one of the stronger Jackbox packs overall, although the Jackbox Party Pack 6 achievements tend to be complicated – many will make concerted efforts to unlock and are extremely unlikely to happen during natural play. will pop. Still, at least there’s no feat that requires you to be a top streamer or open 1,000 browser tabs at once in this…

Tom

Tom — Chernobylite

I don’t need a sale to recommend this FPS horror RPG from The Farm 51, but if you buy Chernobylite at even the slightest discount, you’re getting an incredible deal, and playing on Xbox Series X or S, you’ll be even get current generation upgrades with it. The game follows the story of a physicist who searches for their missing fiancée in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where supernatural activity is now taking place as a result of the Chernobyl disaster 30 years earlier. As you carry out your quest, you’ll have the chance to make friends to help you and enemies who will try to thwart you, build and customize your own base of operations, and a simulated 3D vision of the real Exclusion Zone and Pripyat. You will also be hunted by an entity known as the Black Stalker, which plays a huge role in the game’s storyline, which is full of twists and turns. We don’t have any new Chernobylite achievements yet, so the game remains a pretty simple, but very exciting completion that I’m sure you won’t regret, especially since it’s currently discounted by 25%.
