Sounds like you better strike...

Looking for something different? The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has delivered with this crafting game developed by the newly-minted Bontemps Games and published by the prolific Humble Games. While it looks like a side-scrolling adventure game from yester-year, this title is surprisingly free of any combat. Instead, the entire game revolves around exploring and completing quests for various townsfolk, mostly by heading back to your forge and crafting the items they need. Will the mandated hour of this game loop prove addicting or feel like a real chore? Tom and Chris have picked up their hammers and crafted you an episode... let's find out if you should join them over in Ellian!

The fifth in the franchise! Who knew?

The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has put Tom and Chris behind the wheel once again, this time in Codemaster's 2022 racer. For the first time in franchise history, this model comes loaded with a story-focused career mode! Will suiting up as the curiously named Driver 22 complete the package, or will our hosts discover that those resources could have been better spent elsewhere? With over 100 vehicles to drive and over 130 tracks to race, there's no way our hosts will be able to experience them all within their time limit. Will they want to keep driving after their hour is up or will they be content to park this back in the garage indefinitely? Let's find out!

A fairly fishy mystery is afoot.

For this episode, Tom and Chris take on the narrative adventure game developed and published by Slow Bros. The titular protagonist lives aboard a spaceship that fled Earth centuries ago seeking an idyllic new planet, but that dream died when the ship crashed on a decidedly subpar aquatic world. The chief scientist hasn't given up hope, though, and as her slow-witted lab assistant, you must do your best to help her turn things around. With an art style lifted from stop-motion animation and a sense of humor that's decidedly British, will this game deliver a compelling story nested within solid gameplay mechanics? Join our hosts as they hang up their tool belts and sit down to decide if this quirky indie excursion is worth another shift.
