Not the German comedy series.

There seems to be no shortage of cleaning simulators these days, but this one developed by President Studio and published by PlayWay has a different hook. Instead of power-washing someone's driveway or de-cluttering someone's home, this title puts you in the shoes of a former high school janitor that must clean up after criminals so those villains won't be caught for their dastardly deeds. Mopping up blood? Absolutely! Destroying evidence? You betcha! Disposing of victims? Well, you've come this far, no backing out now. Tom and Chris rolled up their sleeves and did some real dirty work during their hour long stint as one of those "Dinner Reservation" folks from John Wick. It certainly was a novel experience, but was it an entertaining one that's worthy of your precious free time? Our hosts have been caught red handed and they're ready to spill the beans!

Take a trip to the 90's... the 2090's.

The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button delivers on its name with the selection of this retro-anime inspired FPS developed by Hammer95 Studios and published by Epopeia Games. Neither of our hosts had heard of this before it was chosen, so they are going in with zero expectations other than whatever they may associate with mullets. With an hour on their play clocks and just ten seconds to cause chaos and literally earn their (continued) living, will this fast-paced shooter stand out against the many options competing for their attention? Join Tom and Chris as they step into the shoes of Jack Banhammer and race off to score some sweet sneakers. All they need to do is mulch multiple millionaire murderbots on their way to rescue a positively popular princess! Slap this episode in your tape-deck and crunch play to hear if this one is worth your time!

Are we trading rogues or roguishly trading?

Buckle up, buttercup! The grimdark of the Imperium awaits in this turn-based tactical RPG developed and published by Owlcat Games. The studio first cut their teeth translating another tabletop game (Pathfinder) to the digital realm. Despite some early challenges there, they found their rhythm, launched a sequel, and then were tasked with taking on 40k's roleplay system. Tom and Chris previously enjoyed their foray with this franchise on Episode 166 when they reviewed Boltgun, but this is a completely different genre and guaranteed to be a very different gameplay experience. Will they enjoy this RPG as much as they enjoyed that FPS? How many other acronyms will they be able to cram into this bite-sized review? Let's find out!

Anthropomorphic Orange is the New Black?

The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button is sending our hosts directly to jail. They won't be passing go and they won't be collecting $200 on the way. Thankfully it's just part of the experience of playing the pixel-art RPG developed by Metal Head Games where the player takes on the role of a humanimal that must set things the wrong things right from behind bars! With nothing to go on but a title and some key art, Tom and Chris really have no idea what to expect from their hour-long experience with this very indie title. Will it be a break-out hit or deserving of incarceration? Join our dynamic duo as they discuss their time in this digital clink and see if it's a place they will recommend you visit of your own recognizance!

Wait, isn't that the character from Arcane?

Still completely oblivious to League of Legends outside his love for the animated show, Tom (and his pal Chris) must engage with another spin-off property, this time thanks to the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button. For this episode, the team will be investigating the digital collectible card dame developed and published by Riot Games. This game has been around for years, but thanks to its genre, it has sailed completely under the radar of our hosts. But there in lies both of the bane and the beauty of random game selection, nothing is off the table... even when that table is digital. As per usual, our hosts will play for a full hour and then report back on whether or not it's worth your precious time. Will their inherent bias (against card games) leave this destined for deletion or will some newfound appreciation (for the art and lore) grant this particular title a fair shot at a stable spot in play rotation? We've heard that... sometimes taking a leap forward means leaving a few things behind.

Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law.

If you grew up in the same era as our hosts, the source material for this first-person shooter developed by Teyon and published by Nacon is well known to you. If you are a bit younger, perhaps you caught the remake that came out in 2014. If neither of those apply, just imagine if Darth Vader was a police officer in a dystopian Detroit. Now that you understand the basic premise, it's time for our hosts to discover if this is a faithful adaptation of that source material and (more importantly) if it translates into a fun gameplay experience. Tom and Chris loaded their guns, strapped on their armor, and set their timers for an hour. Now, you have the right to remain silent... as our hosts debrief you. Thank you for your cooperation.

It's like playing doctor, but just the administrative part.

Have you ever dreamt of being an intergalactic hospital administrator? Well that dream can now become reality thanks to this business simulation title developed by Brightrock Games and published by Cult Games. Do you want to build rooms, hire staff, and satisfy the needs of alien patients? Well that's all packed in to this quirky sim. As usual, our hosts have been tasked by the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button to give it a whirl for an hour and see how it all shakes out. Does playing an hour of a video game count as "becoming a doctor" or "becoming an architect"? Yeah, probably not, but maybe now Tom and Chris can bluff it when they next talk to their parents... they'll just need to leave the alien bits out.

The original hits keep on coming!

Before Warcraft and the massive online world it would spawn, Blizzard Entertainment had a trio of hits in the early 1990s that established them as a creative force in video games. Those games are collected here (each in multiple incarnations) for modern players to enjoy. With just an hour to harness a healthy helping of highly-regarded games, how will our hosts spend their time? More importantly, will these classics live up to the hype or will nostalgia prevent an unbiased review? The stage is set, the green flag drops... let's find out!
