Glittering Sword
Not every game can be rated solely by screenshots. It’s like a human’s essence that can’t be measured by a staged photo. And thus Glittering Sword is not the kind of game that some may think judging by screenshots or trailer. At the first glance, it looks like a typical action-adventure, like many other classic titles from the ’90s. Glittering Sword is full of spiritual references to these classical gaming brands, and its shiny and balanced graphical setting helps the player to dive into the memorable adventure. Best way to describe this game by the phrase: «fantasy adventure set in a cozy world with Sokoban-style puzzles». Here, each screen is the individual location with traps, enemies, portals, and switches, and the player needs to learn the exact order of completing things the right way. The more you play Glittering Sword, the harder it gets with traps being more and more deadly, and the enemies become tougher. We hope that players who are addicted to adventure games will fall in love with this small but very entertaining game.
Roombo: First Blood (Xbox One X Enhanced)
Hack smart-home gadgets like lights, doors, and various appliances to set up traps, or improvise weapons from objects around the house. Hide under furniture, set your trajectory, and plow into your enemies, knocking them over with such force that they go flying, then munch them up when they’re down. But make sure you don’t leave too much blood on the carpet because you’ll need to make sure the house is clean before the family gets home. Only you can save Christmas and show these burglars that justice sucks.
