Underrated horror games?

Hey, so I'm new to Xbox, I don't really know any horror games on here besides the ones everyone knows(Soma, deadspace, silent hill, etc) I've been into horror like literally my entire life too, so I HAVE seenalmost every popular horror game. I'm kind of picky too though For reference I'd pick silent hill over resident evil any day of the week(no shade to RE I'm just not into the whole government official stuff, though I have played biohazard and Village they were greattt)

Give me your grittiest, angstiest, psychological horror PLEAAASEEE. I love it when horror games overstep heavy boundaries with edge or whatever(as long as it makes sense and is actually good plot wise)

Backwards Compatible List Incomplete/Missing Games in Store

Anyone ever noticed how the backwards compatability list is missing games?

For instance Nier and Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge Of The Sith are not in the actual list they provide in the store.

Instead you have to search separately for the games to buy them. It's extremely annoying to have to already know some of these games and search for them instead of them just being in there list.

Where is the backwards compatibility store page located at?

There was a short cut on the game page but it's gone now. I went through the tabs and couldn't find it. I can find the games if I search individually but not the page self. Please help me obi-wan Kenobi, your my only.

How "online" does a Series X have to be?

Background: The wife and I spend a lot of time at our cottage during the summer which is very remote with very little (if any) Internet access.

We'd like to pick up a Series X to keep there, for gaming obviously as well as to watch movies on Blu-ray for those inclement days/nights.

If I pick one up, get an account setup, all the updates and games loaded at home where I have connectivity, will it function offline? As such, when purchasing games, will they need to be disk based vs digital?

Curious to know if anyone has tried anything similar and what stumbling blocks they encountered that they had to overcome.

Thanks all.

Looking for crossplay games for 4 people.

Hey guys! I'm looking for crossplay games where myself and 3 of my friends can all play together.

Here is where it gets tricky, im on Xbox series X, 2 of them are on Switch, and the other one is one PC.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of games that we would be compatible to play together?

Currently we are playing Fortnite, which is great but would love something more along the lines of elder scrolls online just to switch it up. Thanks for any suggestions!

Phil Spencer just completed the Fallout 76 quest Officer on Deck. This quest must be completed to launch nukes. It looks like Phil is preparing to launch a retaliatory nuke against players for nuking his camp

Handheld gaming; Razer Kishi vs backbone vs Gamesir G8

I’m going to be travelling a lot with work soon and I’m considering picking up a handheld gaming system.

Am I right in thinking that with any of the ones I’ve named I can play games from my Xbox library on my iPhone with the relevant controller attached?

Which one would you buy if you were getting one today and why?

Cloud gaming is massively under-appreciated and incredible value

One of the reasons I love Xbox and Gamepass is cloud gaming, and it feels like it’s a feature most people don’t use. The mass market also doesn’t seem to know about it. The fact that you can just pick up your iPad or phone or work computer and just play wherever you are is simply awesome. You can just pick up and play a new game or continue the game you played at home right where you left off. I used a Gamepass solely through cloud on my iPad for a year before I got my hands on the Series X, and it was great to play games I didn’t have anywhere else there. I think for many casual gamers who don’t play a lot, cloud is enough.

It’s also stunning how good it works, considering you’re actually streaming a game and control it in real time. Sure, the resolution is sometimes a bit low and you get occasional stuttering, but for casual gaming it’s simply incredible that you can play AAA games on your phone or iPad even when you have a weak WiFi connection.

Microsoft needs to educate consumers that this exists with some serious marketing. People still spend ridiculous amounts of money on buying sh*tty mobile games, when they could be enjoying full AAA titles on the go if they wanted to, or play many of the simpler games we get on cloud with great on-screen controls. I especially like playing adventure games on cloud, as I prefer doing it in an armchair and sitting back relaxed with the iPad on my lap, in a room where I don’t have my Xbox.

Moonscars, Blasphemous 1&2, Lost Faith and others like it

Is this the beginning of a new trend in gaming, the launch of a sub subgenre of Souls-like games, these new 2.5D sidescrollers set within a gothic world with clearly similar art styles and inspiration?


I’m curious if the similarities of all these new(ish) gothic-inspired 2.5D sidescrolling action heavy Souls-like games released recently -- ie Blasphemous 1 & 2, Lost Faith, even Grime to some degree, as well as older titles like Moonscars, Salt & Sanctuary/Sacrifice, Slain: Back From Hell, (others?) -— are flooding the market with too many similar games, somewhat akin to all the Vampire Survivor clones out now.

Are there too many already? Do you know of more slated for release?

And will they cannabalize others within this sub subgenre of souls-like sidescrollers since many seem to offer, at least at a glance, art and gameplay that, again at a surface level, appear interchangeable, all offering this Bloodborne-Inspired gothic setting and art direction, paired with Souls-like mechanics and gameplay.

Of those mentioned here, do any stand out? Or are they all so good (and with a rabid fan base that loves this art style, setting and challenging gameplay) are we seeing the launch of a new more permanent sub sub-genre of gaming: the Gothic-Art Souls-like 2.5 Hack N Slash Sidescroller?
