The game stirs up some interesting arguments about AI, privacy, and loyalty, and has a fantastic set of characters along solid execution of its plot, that make it worth a purchase. Along the way, you’ll piece together what happened in the hours and days before Tacoma’s inhabitants fled. You’ll explore the various areas within the ship, such as the medical bay, engineering, and even the personal spaces of the now evacuated staff. You’re in the role of Amy Ferrier, a contractor tasked with retrieving Odin - Tacoma’s AI - for its owner, the Venturis corporation. Much like in that game, here too, you play a solitary explorer in an abandoned environment. It’s developed by Fullbright, the studio behind Gone Home. Tacoma is a first-person narrative adventure set in the depths of space aboard a space station by the same name. That's particularly true on the Xbox One X thanks to enhanced visuals at 4K and 60fps, making it one of the better games to buy on the One X. It has none of those, and instead sticks to being one of the best single-player experiences we’ve had this generation, and that alone makes it a game that needs to be experienced. It’s an oddity in an industry that is currently obsessed with open-worlds, micro-transactions, and always online play.

Long loading times aside, Cuphead gets pretty much everything right. It has all the elements of a great shoot ‘em up- fun music, great level design, nice collection of weapons, and a rewarding difficulty curve. If you enjoy challenging games, you will love Cuphead. In these games, death follows quickly if you land just one pixel in the wrong direction, and the only way to win is by honing your reflexes to get better with each try.Ĭuphead is exactly that kind of game. That's never a bad thing, though Cuphead is really a run and gun shoot 'em up. The moment we started playing Cuphead, we were instantly reminded of indie platformers such as Super Meat Boy.
