A Critical Review of Xbox Showcase Titles

This episode takes a deep dive into the aesthetic, emotional, Ghibli-inspired world of Neva, the second Nomada Studios game after the beloved Gris. It has the same fantastic watercoloured art and emotional tone, and adds some more video gamey elements like health, combat, and fail states — for better, and for worse.

In the roundup: Cat Quest 3, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine II, the latest Xbox showcase, Wheel World, The Legend Of Baboo, FBC Firebreak, and more.
