Indiana Jones Order Of Giants DLC Launches To 'Mixed' Feedback In First 24 HoursIt seems good, but there are grumbles about price and length. It's now been over 24 hours since the Indiana Jones Order of Giants DLC first launched on Xbox and beyond, and just like in the case of Hollow Knight: Silksong , Bethesda didn't send any review codes out for this one ahead of time. We've started playing it here at Pure Xbox (look out for our impressions hopefully next Monday), but we've only come across one finalised review from an outlet so far - that's from Game8 , which has given it a very impressive 86/100.

Review: NHL 26 - The Best Hockey Game Of The Xbox Series X|S Generation, Despite Feeling Overly FamiliarFree trial available now via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. With EA's NHL 26 getting a free trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members today (via EA Play), I thought I'd take a look at the latest entry in the series - courtesy of a review code from EA Sports - and the result is a fun hockey game! However, the NHL series is in a weird place these days, with fans feeling like EA isn't putting as much attention on the franchise as it perhaps should, and that admittedly comes across in NHL 26. The game itself is really good, the changes they've made this year are largely positive, and yet it still feels like a lot more could be done. Read the full article on purexbox.com

Silksong Players Really Want to Pet the Dog-I Mean, the Bell BeastHollow Knight: Silksong is out now, and seems like it's pretty good so far if our review-in-progress is any indication. But it commits one terrible, unforgiveable sin: Silksong won't let players pet the dang dog-er, well, the bug that's like a dog.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Has No Reviews Yet, So Here's What The Players Are SayingSome very early impressions. Right, we've already seen all the hubbub about Hollow Knight: Silksong breaking various storefronts including the Xbox Store today, so clearly this game is massively in demand - which makes it strange to see no reviews at launch. The reason for this is apparently because Team Cherry (the studio that developed it) wanted to honour their Kickstarter backers and other players, as well as reduce their workload, by not distributing review codes ahead of time.

Hirogami Review – Brittle YearningsVisual distinction is a frequently instrumental aspect of game design. While some, and even I when I was younger, considered art direction and graphical fidelity as shallow motivators for reaching new crowds, the fact is that they matter. Besides standing out for prospective players who don’t possess an inherent interest in the genre at hand, [...]

Digital Foundry's Helldivers 2 Review Is Here, And There's A Weird Lighting Issue On XboxPerformance is good, though. Helldivers 2 has now been out on Xbox for a full week, which means lots of players have had the chance to try the game out and see what they make of the first PlayStation-published title on Series X|S . Of course, that also means that the folks over at Digital Foundry have put the time in to deliver a tech review - which has just landed for our viewing pleasure. We've thrown that analysis up above, of course, which contains some good comparison shots between PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Resolution and frame rate figures are pretty much as you'd expect - but there's a strange lighting issue that's specific to Xbox consoles. Basically, the game looks really washed out on the two Microsoft machines, and it's something that doesn't occur on PS5. Read the full article on purexbox.com
