For fans of the Fable games, the potential for Microsoft to produce another mainline entry in the series, instead of outings like Fable: The Journey and Fable Legends , is certainly exciting. Bringing back this Xbox-exclusive franchise could be a great move for Xbox, especially as it enters into a new console generation. If Microsoft plays its cards right, Fable could end up being the Breath of the Wild in Xbox’s portfo
Aside from minor nitpicks, I found myself smiling from ear to ear playing Bug Fables . Yes, it is definitely coasting on a major wave of nostalgia, but it feels fantastic. It absolutely nails the combat, the visual style, and the general tone and vibe of the Paper Mario games. It’s a little awkward in places, but that honestly didn’t stop me from enjoying this game immens
Bug Fables has a lot of side quests you can take on for extra money, stealth mechanics improvement medals, or items, but it doesn’t have an efficient way of tracking them. When you accept a side quest from the various mission boards, you sometimes have to talk to the NPC to start them. Except once you speak with them and they tell you where to go, the side quest doesn’t update in your logbook and it doesn’t appear on your map. So, if you happened to decide to save a side quest for later or turn the game off, it’s easy to forget where you were supposed to go. This means that you might have to wander around until you find the missing NPC, which seems like something that could have been avoided by placing some markers on your
Escape does seem pretty intriguing as it isn’t your regular multiplayer. Players are to form up in teams of three, infiltrate a hive, plant a bomb and then try to get the hell out of there in one piece.
Metroidvania games rarely offer co-op options, which is part of the reason why Guacamelee 2 stands out from the pack so much. Letting players experience the exploration and platforming elements associated with Metroidvanias in a co-op space is a lot of fun, though it helps that Guacamelee 2 is a fantastic game at its core, too. Guacamelee 2 ‘s unique brand of humor, appealing art style, and non-stop action will keep players glued to the screen for the long haul, making it one of the best local co-op options on Game P
If the rumors are to be believed, Fable 4 is exactly the kind of game that the Xbox One should’ve had in droves; an expansive and innovational RPG that takes the ideas behind the original trilogy and uses them to create a truly next-gen experience. Better yet, it’s also proof that Xbox wants to create long-lasting and investable franchises that, much like PlayStation has done with God of War , can alter and evolve with the ti
With no prior announcement, Microsoft surprise-launched the beat ’em up Streets of Rage 4 on Xbox Game Pass. While some may have been concerned that Streets of Rage 4 wouldn’t live up to the legacy of its predecessors, the game has proven any doubters wrong. Streets of Rage 4 reviews have been mostly positive, with fans praising the game’s retro-style local co-op action. Streets of Rage 4 ‘s main story may be a little on the short side, but the game otherwise has a lot of content for fans of the genre to sink their teeth i
However, fans want the promise of fantastic games from innovational franchises as they look towards Xbox’s future and what better way to establish that than to show off an enhanced reboot of the Fable series running on next-generation hardware. No matter if it releases two years into the console’s cycle, the promise of a game like Fable 4 would do a lot to convince fans they should invest in Microsoft if revealed in the next few mon
There are multiple reasons why a next-gen Fable should be a reboot instead of a continuation from Fable 3 . First off, a non-numbered Fable is much more welcoming than a numbered entry that continues a series that had its last official entry release ten years ago. Players can jump in without having the question about whether they should have played earlier entries to be able to even understand this new g
Bug Fables is weaponized nostalgia. Moonsprout Games set out to make a game that would bring you back to the mid-90s and early-2000s, and if you played RPGs back on the SNES or N64, then this is going to unleash all the tingly feelings of your childhood stored at the back of your br
There was nothing over a new Forza game either but Forza Horizon 4 has been given an expansion. Playground’s rumored to be working on another big project outside of the racing genre so you could well imagine what that is.
Meanwhile, Microsoft can’t boast the same number of significant system sellers. Halo: Infinite is undeniably a massive draw, but it’s far from something entirely new for the franchise, especially with Microsoft continuing to pump out fairly frequent Halo titles over the past decade. Naturally, Xbox could provide followups to titles like Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, and Recore, but very few of these games managed to impress players or build giant fanbases when they launched during the Xbox One’s life cy
