Last week, we got a look at the five Indies coming to the Xbox over the next two years. They are all in different stages of development, but we saw the gameplay for everyone, and asked the developers all our burning questions.
In the winter, bro, outbounds, Hela, and Moon Litter 2: Looks like endless vault as they fill the niche of a comfortable game, while the choice of vomiting is a choice -based RPG. They all bring something different to the table, though, presenting a well -varied variety of Xbox’s upcoming indi titles.
Bill in winter
TBA 2025
I had the opportunity to play Winter Bro in the game work last year, but the latest preview is a bit ahead of the game. The winter bro are billed as a “comfortable” survival game, and its offer is definitely available. However, during the presentation, we were repeatedly shown all these methods that the cute little mouse could die (frozen, starve to die, lose fighting), so this is not without danger.
The gods have described the winter bills as it meets the animals found in the script, so you are looking at the screenshots, the team is not trying to hide that it is a game of survival, in the core part of it. This is far more smooth than your usual survival rent. You have less to focus more on the search for the area around you – in terms of both requirements and resources. Overall, I can see that this is a great game pass release, appealing to people who are kept out of more strict survival games, but they want something deeper than your normal comfortable game.
Outbound
TBA 2026
The next is a game in which I will not label Kozi enough, but, instead, left behind. Outbound is about to get out of the city to stay in Campproin, which gives you an open world to discover. We did not find a big sense of the world’s scale during the demo, but this is not the bridge here. Instead, it is a system of crafts and customs.
Outbound has a day and a night cycle, and when the sun goes down, you stand on the camp site. From here, this is a matter of standard craftsmanship, but the thing that attracted my attention was the mini -house custom menu. By opening your van, you find a small area to make your residential place, and the limited size reminded me to challenge the Challenge challenge to make small houses in Sims. It looked incredibly satisfactory in the outbound, and even more like you can build both inside and above the van.
Charge on your van and a couple like a couple for your own health, but it seems that this is a very comfortable game as a whole.
Another sales point is that it can be played in a multi -player, with you and three other players who are sharing the van together. I can see that this is a better way to play, because you distribute duties and make your portable home together.
Hea
TBA
The hella comes from the windup games, a studio created by Davis that was brought to us, and it certainly appears. I do not mean that anything like a hala molecule looks like a lot, more, more exciting – but it is attractive uncertainty, even if the setup is quite different.
In Hela, you play as a rat, and you are influenced by the rural areas of Scandinavine and loose a world. You are familiar with the witch, and your mission is to handle its different tasks while he is unable to do so. In practice, it is really just an excuse that you find and solve different puzzles. With, platforming mixtures and game physics creatively use.
Hella is both single player and a multi -player. Some puzzles require a number of players, but if you are playing alone, you can make your own clone.
In one example we were shown, this player needed to go through a crowd of flies. So they drag the cake from a table, which causes them to move towards it and liberate the way. The gods say that Hela will be full of unique solutions, calling it a “playground to experience” where you will be encouraged to “find and find the magic around you”.
Shift
TBA 2025
This game is not like anything else in showcase, but honestly, it may be said for any showcase where it has its characteristics. Ever since I talked to his star, Alex Jordan in the game last year, the reversal has been on my radar. Here, Jordan plays… OK … all.
The basis is that our superiority, John Dolsky, has to create a staff to help it get off a disgraceful planet on which it crashes. Catch? The staff consists of several clones of itself. Although they are not the same – these are the versions of the changing people who have made different life decisions and thus they have their own abilities. This also means that they have many different personalities, and they will clash, which is exactly what I am mostly waiting for.
When we saw some gameplay – a base was trying to develop a plan to avoid the planet – we also saw the lower aspect of the changes through the dialogue system. These dialogue trees like RPG allow you to try to find a common ground with their changes, and we have been told that we can do elections that affect the story.
One of these choices is that you choose to create. We have been told that we will be limited to eleven changers, and that we cannot make all the possibilities in one game. I am fully looking forward to seeing how it runs when changes begin at the end of this year.
Moon Light 2: Endless Walt
TBA 2025
This sequel, like your predecessor, is a store keeper Rogeliak mesh. However, this time, Dev tells us that they want to move further on these two aspects of the game, so if you like the first Moon Litter, you are getting something more from what you drawn.
However, there is a big difference – to 3D. Although we have the same setup to loot the adventures, what we get from the risk we want to dive more and more with each run, this time Danjons will be more to throw us on us.
Rogualic elements are not limited to the combat part of the game, because when you find your search, you can also find random heat. When you get out again, the money you make is spent on better items, so it looks like a satisfactory loop where the pathogenesis elements bleed into everything you do.
Overall, it has always been an indis that is marking my Xbox Game Subscript. Hell, I remember 2022 hobbies, because in a triple release release, the drought tried me to try to play a game like a forgotten city, sarcasm and citizens’ sleep. With further work along the way, it shows that the Xbox is still placing the releases that work very well on the game pass, and hopefully, when they manage to stand by the crowd this year and next year.
