Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game. Brutal?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game X35 Earthwalker

Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is a choice based adventure story game developed and published by ‘Supermassive games‘. Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is said to be coming out the 12th of May 2026 on the Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker tryout enjoys a choice based story game that’s done properly and real well. Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is looking to make this their hardest and most punishing game yet of this type. Let’s take a look.

The story of Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is actually interesting. The Earth is dying because of course it is. “Humanity is running out of time”. A colony ship called Cassiopeia crash lands on a planet. This all takes place in Tau Ceti about 12 light years away from what they call home. So already things are looking real bad in the grand scheme of things. It does get worse though. the planet they landed on… they are not alone…

Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game X35 Earthwalker

More on that later but let’s remind everyone that the developers of Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game are also the creators of Unreal Dawn and The Quarry. So come on, gamers should know what to expect from games like these. Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game is another one of those games where you are watching a story play out in front of you and must make decisions. These decisions is where the action is at. These choices you make, matters. One simple decision can get everyone killed. Trust us on that.

Remember that we said the cow of the crashed ship are not alone. There are aliens here (no Amanda Ripley). A alien organism that has the ability to mimic its targets… or should we say prey. So everyone’s life is in danger. So make all your choices count and not just the meaningful ones. There’s off course multiple endings as well. Now will gamers play honestly and do a no undo play through where you must live with your choices, or will cheat like some pathetic streamers and youtubers who undo, restart or get help from their chat.  

Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game X35 Earthwalker

It seems like Supermassive games are going for an actually difficult game this time. We want a choice based game that’s ruthless. With many surprises and makes players never feel that safe. Caught off guard. A mixture of obvious and not so obvious. All these other similar games, even from other developers are all easy mode. We want truly difficult. They are dealing with mimicking aliens where they must rely more so on intelligence to survive. High stakes like risking everyone on earth to save themselves. It needs to be hard. You miss one fast quick time event and someone dies. Be cruel this time.

Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some gameplay and it’s what we expected. They have their style still clearly in this game with a some awkwardness but it’s nothing major at all. Definitely has a serious tone. The surface of the planet looks barren and bad weather. Only dangerous things live on this planet. The design works here. Of course it’s best to keep things secret and mysterious. X35 Earthwalker himself likes to be surprised, especially with games like this. The less you know, the better.

Overall Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game looks like it’s going to be great. Games like this are usually fun and bring players for a good ride. Paying attention to the details to know what choices to make. Exploring everywhere to make sure to find important items. Paying attention during chase scenes to hit those quick time events and fail nothing. It’s actually hard to mess up games like this. The developers ‘Supermassive games’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now Directive 8020: A Dark Pictures Game may have deceptive aliens but they can never fool… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Aniimo. Ultimate Creature Catcher

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Aniimo. Metropolis sky city. X35 Earthwalker

Aniimo is a creature catcher adventure game developed and published by ‘Pawprint Studio‘. Aniimo is said to be coming out late 2026 on the Xbox Series X/S and PC. In the future Aniimo will be on the Xbox Helix. Another Xbox exclusive. The date 31st of December has been thrown around but the plans can change. X35 Earthwalker is definitely hyped for this game and awaits its arrival. Aniimo is definitely looking different from everything else. Let’s take a look.

Aniimo is another creature catcher game. A next generation action role playing game (ARPG). We can clearly see that. the action in Aniimo takes place on a continent called Idyll. This place is large and described as “expansive”. Expect loads of areas to explore, traverse and get busy in. Idyll has puzzles, battles, characters and creatures. Players will need to get exploring and see for themselves. Have their own adventure.  

Aniimo. Player fights aniimo with aniimo X35 Earthwalker

Just by looking at Aniimo you can tell it was next gen. Simply by how good the game looks. The looks, designs and details easily puts Aniimo above pokemon and even Palworld. Aniimo is doing its own thing and standing out. The main stars are the Aniimo themselves and they look awesome. Look at Scorchhowl. This thing looks cool, strong and fast. It then has multiple forms. Normal, prismana and thunderstorm. Thunderstorm adds an additional type to Scrochhowl making it fire and lightning. Then you got cute little guys like Nimbi who’s basically a fluffy sheep. If it puffs up to the max, it can actually float into the air and look like a cloud. The ultimate sheep! Nimbi is a wind type but in the rainstorm form it becomes wind and lighting. So cool.

Aniimo. Unique and cool aniimo. X35 Earthwalker

A unique feature of Aniimo is that you can “twine” with your Aniimo. So basically you become the Aniimo and experience things through their eyes/senses. This is very cool and easily reminds us of another game that has something similar. Cassette Beasts. In Cassette Beasts you literally become the creature you recorded. So this is familiar to X35 Earthwalker but Aniimo has the 3D world so this will be a different experience. The combat isn’t turn based but real time like Palworld. Meaning the players knowledge of the Aniimo, decisions and reflexes do matter a lot. Maybe even the use of the environment. So much to think about.

Aniimo. Many cool Aniimos. X35 Earthwalker

We will say this now as we have said on the X35 Earthwalker podcast channel. Animo will be a Xbox exclusive as it will be on Xbox and PC. Hopefully they stay that way. The biggest mistake that Palword made was going to playstation. the moment they went to playstation all momentum they had just disappeared. they stopped even celebrating their numbers as the growth from playstation was basically zero. If Aniimo does wonderfully well on xbox, which it will, then it needs to think carefully before deciding to be multiplatform.

There’s so far a good level of diversity in the environments. ‘Sea of flowers’ is like the fantasy lovely flowery hills where you are suppose to skip, run and jump. Peaceful looking. ‘Echoback Landing’ is coastal area with pink barrier reef like designs and there’s even a giant remains of a massive creature. Forest of Falling stars is a forest… what did you expect? Hollowed out logs to climb through. Blitzwood, Nimbus fields and Mistwood. Get to it. 

Aniimo. New egg with pals and players. X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some Aniimo gameplay and it’s what we expected. The combat is fast paced and real time. Like Palworld you can get involved in the combat also, truly making it a team work. Some Aniimos can evolve and obvious become better, stronger etc. If you spend time and train your Aniimo you can actually stories. So there’s more purpose to catch them all. There is a variety of biomes to visit and explore which also means different Aniimos. Find treasure, wade through streams and more. There’s even basically a city in the sky. Just have fun.

Overall Aniimo is looking like a fantastic game. Graphics are fantastic, animations are fantastic as well. The details like the fluffiness of Nimbi wool are top tier. The world is looking real interesting. There’s even an RV for players and they can use it to return to the homeland and decorate their abode. Make it unique to them. There’s a lot going on. The battles are quite epic and you know things will get more deep. Now, will there be any sexy or attractive creatures like Lovander? Or will the whole thing be friendly disney land type. The developers ‘Pawprint Studio’ have done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are definitely looking forward to this game. Playing it guaranteed. Now Aniimo may have the best looking creatures but they aren’t as good looking as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

PowerWash Simulator 2 – Adventure Time Pack is such a wacky expansion pack. Anyone who knows Adventure Time should automatically know what this is about and what players are getting themselves into. Simply put, the land of Ooo is about to get real clean… squeaky clean. This is a very creative expansion. Remember that this is PowerWash Simulator 2’s first dlc. A great start by the looks of it.

PowerWash Simulator 2 - Adventure Time Pack. Clean up. X35 Earthwalker

PowerWash Simulator 2 - Adventure Time Pack. Penguin. X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some PowerWash Simulator 2 – Adventure Time Pack gameplay and it’s what we expected. Grab the water hose, the cleaners and whatever else you need and get spraying, washing and scrubbing. We like the fact that Jake is truly helping out by becoming a lift for the diligent cleaners top use for height. It adds that Adventure Time charm. So, yeah, more cleaning.

Overall PowerWash Simulator 2 – Adventure Time Pack looks like an amazing expansion pack. This being Overall PowerWash Simulator 2’s first dlc sets the standard for what else is to come. Overall PowerWash Simulator certainly like their crossovers. Think of what else they could do. The developers ‘FuturLab’ have done an amazing job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what this expansion do for the players. now Overall PowerWash Simulator 2 – Adventure Time Pack may have Jake and Finn but they aren’t cool enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

GreedFall 2: The Dying World. Big changes

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
GreedFall 2: The Dying World location and scenery X35 Earthwalker

GreedFall 2: The Dying World is an action adventure rpg developed by ‘Spiders’ and published by ‘Nacon’. GreedFall 2: The Dying World is said to be coming out the 12th of March 2026 on the Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Early access was on PC but literally no one cared when that happened. Consoles is where it’s at. X35 Earthwalker is looking forward to what GreedFall does next. Let’s take a look.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World first of all has some confusing going on. On the official website it says “GreedFall 2: The Dying World” but almost everywhere else it says “GreedFall: The dying World”. What’s up with that? Sort it out Greedfall. Now the story of GreedFall 2: The Dying World takes place 3 years before the events of the original GreedFall. This sequel is in fact a prequel. This does allow for a lot answers to be given to the players and off course more history and the state of the mainland continents etc.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World. War, politics and plagues ruin this world. X35 Earthwalker

In GreedFall 2: The Dying World, players control a native of Teer Fradee, who was taken from their home and brought to continent of Gacane. The same place where the colonists are from. Nothing is rosey and cherries here as war and political scheming are big here. The factions are trying to hoe each other and get out on top. Trust is almost at an all time low. Worse of all though… the Malichor is here. Yep, the same plague that haunted players and people is right here… claiming cheeks.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World also changes the very gameplay itself. It’s no longer straight up live action. It’s more of a tactical give commands, sort of like XCOM style. You need to see for yourself. You don’t have full control over your character. Watch gameplay we leave here to see for yourself. This is a big change and we will have to see what fans say about it for real in the real thing. This off course allows for more tactical might in combat and more relaxed too. This is a risk off course.

GreedFall 2: The Dying World has multiple companions. X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some GreedFall 2: The Dying World gameplay and it’s off course not what we expected. It’s a whole different combat style and system for starters. Regardless it’s got the GreedFall flavour and formula in terms of decisions being made, companions who make a difference and the world itself. Heck, even companions can abandon you because you upset them really badly. Things are more volatile here, the stakes are said to be higher as well. There’s more places and locations to explore and get down in. This is certainly a bigger game with more going on. On a technical level, GreedFall 2: The Dying World is superior obviously but there’s more to a game that.

Overall GreedFall 2: The Dying World is looking like an excellent game. We like to see developers try new things but we hope they execute it nicely. GreedFall was good fun and unique adventure so we are always looking forward to more. The graphics and visuals are easily a 2 step up. Not the highest but good enough. The music is suppose to be crazy. They made some serious moves concerning music to suit what it going on. The whole situation concerning our character is tragic. Easy set up. We truly hope that GreedFall 2: The Dying World is actually a big enough step up overall. The developers ‘Spiders’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are going to keep our eyes on this one. Now GreedFall 2: The Dying World may be a prequel but it’s not before the effects of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Scott Pilgrim EX. Finally! Comic action

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Scott Pilgrim EX new enemies and characters are here to play a role in the situation.

Scott Pilgrim EX is an action adventure game developed and published by ‘Tribute games‘. Scott Pilgrim EX is said to be coming out the 3rd of March 2026 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox Rog Ally X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and PS5. X35 Earthwalker is a master of ‘Scott Pilgrim vs the world’ and longed for this new game. Scott Pilgrim EX is trying to bring in that comic nonsense charm. Let’s take a look.

Scott Pilgrim EX is FINALLY on the way. X35 Earthwalker waited forever for this game to come. So many years. Well it’s about time.  The story in Scott Pilgrim EX is simple as it should be. Basically Scott’s bandmates got kidnapped… or should we say abducted by some “shadowy forces”. So Scott himself kicks into action to save his friends and technically all of Toronto. Oh and by the way, there’s some space and time shenanigans going on… yep, comic book nonsense is back. 

Scott Pilgrim EX has a whole new map with more locations and secrets

Scott Pilgrim EX is already looking to be above Scott Pilgrim vs the world. For starters, there’s a much bigger map with more locations and things going on. Chaos theatre is here, the beaches and even the vegan police headquarters. Players should remember that omelettes aren’t vegan. 

There’s also more enemies and new enemies. In fact 3 new enemy factions. New weapons also including some straight up wacky ones too. Scott Pilgrim EX is off course like the previous game. The action you remember, the style and what the games about is all familiar. They just upgraded everything. More of everything. You like to see it.

Scott Pilgrim EX Robots are with us this time in the combat.

Scott Pilgrim isn’t alone here as not only does he have Ramona Flowers by his side but some new unlikely allies are here. Robot 1 use to be an enemy but is with us now. His attacks are charged and mechanical. Very fitting. So this robot will face other robots. X35 Earthwalker approves of this. 

Scott Pilgrim EX nhas Lucas Lee, Roxanne Richter and more.

Crazier is that Matthew Patel is here on our side too. The deadly fighter is here with his mystical powers and demon companions.  This guy is cool. On top of al this, Roxie Richter and Lucas Lee too. This is wild! Roxie got the sword while Lucas is big body. Way bigger than the previous game.

Scott Pilgrim EX with beautiful new characters and npcs

On top of everything. Scott Pilgrim EX has all new npcs and characters. Look at this pretty and unique lady who has all this food for the players. Love to see it and also love to see that the vendors are back for us to chow down. Pork Burrito and Steak Quesadilla please. There’s just so much to look forward to. You just know that this game will be perfect for the Xbox Rog Ally X and Xbox Rog Ally.

We checked out some Scott Pilgrim EX gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s overall superior to the previous game in basically every category. New combos, new music and series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley is on the case. This means long time fans should be happy and recognise his touch in the game. There’s special items to equip, badges and food to improve stats and abilities. Customise your character and get creative with your builds.

Overall Scott Pilgrim EX is looking amazing. Players may encounter ‘events’ in a level, similar to what Towerborne has. The best part of Scott Pilgrim EX is that all this action and comic book nonsense is local co-op as well. Just like the last game, you can brag family and friends and get into the action. Local co-op is the best and more games need it. The developers ‘Tribute games’ have some an amazing job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to playing this game for sure. Now Scott Pilgrim EX may have bigger and more action but it’s still too childs play for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot. Dropping in!

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Aerial_Knight's Dropshot. First person falling shooter X35 Earthwalker

 

Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot is an action shooter developed by ‘Aerial_Knight‘ and published by ‘Aerial_Knight games’. Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot is said to be coming out February 17th 2026 on the Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker took notice of this drop. Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot is dropping in hot. Let’s take a look.

Aerial_Knight's Dropshot. Use the finger gun. X35 Earthwalker

Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot is dropping in hot… literally. That’s the story of the game. Players basically are falling from the sky. With 4 enemies. You all are racing to get to the parachute first so you don’t fall to your death. By the way… it’s the ONLY parachute. It’s a fight to the death. It don’t get more heart pumping and fast paced than this. Oh and watch out for Cows… yeah… totally normal cows.

Aerial_Knight's Dropshot. Falling with style. X35 Earthwalker

So of course you are fighting for your life in Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot. You must avoid enemy fire, sky obstacles and dangers and even know when to outfall your foes. You aren’t defenceless as you have your hand dandy “Finger Gun” to gun down enemies, trigger objects and more. Take aim and shoot. We must emphasise the take aim part as you have a limited number of Finger gun ammo. Remember that.

Aerial_Knight's Dropshot. Freaking dragons! X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot gameplay and it’s what we expected for the most part. You aren’t just falling in clear skies. There are dangerous to annoying traps. There’s powerups to take advantage off. There’s multiple things trying to take you out for real. Even freaking dragons! Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot has some tactics too as you can use the slipstreams of enemies too increase your speed.  

Overall Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot is looking like a serious game and a unique one. Off the top of our heads we can’t think of another game like this. We like the speed, we like the pace and it’s an interesting art style that’s done well but not really one we like. The animation and effects are cool and fit the graphic style very well. The graphics are good for the type of game this is. Looks like some good fun. The developers ‘Aerial_Knight’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see what this game truly unleashes. Now Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot may have players falling from the sky but that’s not a problem when you do… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Xbox Developer Direct 2026 is huge

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Xbox Developer Direct has been announced by Xbox themselves and it’s got the gaming world talking already. Well everyone is always talking about the leafing gaming platform Xbox but now this is the main topic. The Xbox Developer Direct will take place the 22nd of January 2026. Time is 6pm for UK and 1pm for the yanks (USA). Make sure to check the time in your own zones so you don’t miss the Xbox Developer Direct. X35 Earthwalker is more than re§any for this one.

Gamers have been speculating about what games will be shown. X35 Earthwalker had his educated guesses and let’s just say he was accurate as usual. We avoid spoilers and prefer to just find out on the day watching the show. What we will say though is that yes, Fable will be present. Fable is off course the massive new game that numerous fans have been waiting for. For more information about the games and what Xbox will bring throughout the year 2026, make sure to check out our previous G-Blog on this topic for a big list, including games others don’t know about or aren’t mentioning.   

Fable. Massive rpg adventure in mystical lands. X35 Earthwalker

We talked a bit about the Xbox Developer Direct 2026 and of course we don’t have a business of spoiling things for others. It’s better to just see the show for yourself and be surprised. Playground Games is coming out swinging heavy. Remember how 2025 Obsidian was game developers of the year with 3 amazing games: Avowed, Grounded 2 and The Outer Worlds 2. Well maybe 2026 is the year of Playground Games as they already got 2 major games confirmed this year. Forza Horizon 6 and Fable. Both games will have gamers in there for hours and hours, no joke. Exciting times indeed. Amazing work Playground Games!

Forza Horizon 6. Xbox 2026. Racing in Japan. X35 Earthwalker

Now Game Freak will be at the Xbox Developer Direct and they have their own surprise going on. We want to make something clear though. A Xbox Developer Direct is not the same as a Xbox game showcase. They are very different with different goals. The Xbox Developer Direct is all about mainly the game devs themselves talking to the viewers, showing the work they have done, explaining a number of things like mechanics and ideas and what went into the game. Hence the name Developer Direct. Key word is developer. The main thing is information with game visuals of course. So prepare yourself for what’s to come. Xbox has more details if you want to know more. Use the ‘more information’ button at the bottom. Not for us though, we want to be surprised.

Xbox Developer Direct is looking to be amazing already. We at X35 Earthwalker are very excited for the show. Not only that but X35 Earthwalker will be recording a live reaction too. Remember that Xbox tends to have some tricks up their sleeves with these shows,. So don’t be surprised if they do another shadow drop or throw in some extras along the way. It’s their style. Xbox is number one and leading in gaming easily right now and they are starting off the new year with big things and multiple things. Now the Xbox Developer Direct may have millions excited but it’s no where near as exciting as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

What’s the best Xbox Hardware? Hard Choice

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Xbox has the best gaming hardware and devices. They have many and some are literally game changing. X35 Earthwalker is the top Xbox player in the world and has used many Xbox hardware and devices. So he wanted to discuss the top three. Three keeps it simple and besides, 3 is a special number. Let’s take a look.

Number 3

Xbox Series X is number three on this list. It’s the best console in the world overall. It even has better performances than the PS5 Pro with some games. This console brought in the next gen feature of ‘Quick resume’ which comes in real handy. The accessibility with the Xbox Series X is solid. The backward compatibility is far superior to other consoles. It’s incredibly consistent offering top tier performance, 60 frames stable and sometimes more, although rare to get more. Nothing truly beats playing great and beautiful games on a big tv screen with the Xbox Series X. Always a great experience. It’s literally quiet, you don’t hear no fans going, heating isn’t a problem and off course… no cockroaches like you see with the PS5. It’s not some massive device either and so easier to find space for. Updates are easy to do, features like making it your home console, linking controllers (not the same as pairing controllers) and remote access thanks to the Xbox app and how you can remotely download games etc. There’s no errors or weaknesses with the Xbox Series X. None. It’s either solid or amazing in the different parameters. Yet it’s number 3.

Xbox Series X

Number 2

Xbox ROG Ally X is literally the best hand held device. Heck, even ‘Time’ magazine declared it the 2025 invention of the year. So it has credentials already. Many have even done comparisons and said that this  it is better than the steam deck. Well obviously. X35 Earthwalker declared it would be better time ago. The main advantage of the Xbox handheld is that it’s portable. It’s Xbox on the go literally. Yes, it doesn’t have the big tv screen comfort, but the fact that you can jump on the bus, whip this device out and start playing all kinds of games is top tier. The performance is the highest so far overall when it comes to Xbox hardware. At times even going over 60 frames. Now that doesn’t truly matter but according to pc players it’s almost everything to them. so it easily can exceed 60 frames. This is the catch. The Xbox ROG Ally X is both Xbox and windows. So there are additional settings. So it makes sense to go into the settings for each game and see what adjustments can be made. This combination makes a difference. Being part windows means this Xbox has access to other game stores like Epic, gog, itch io, steam etc. So you get access to even more games all on this Xbox. Fun combo fact. You can connect your Xbox ROG Ally X to your Xbox Series X to have control on both and display your screen if you want to. Ecosystem coming in big.

Xbox ROG Ally X the best handheld

Number 1

The Xbox Meta Quest 3s is the best VR headset. Funny that the Xbox hardware are the best in their fields. The Xbox Meta Quest 3s is a fusion of Xbox and the meta quest 3s. Playing The Outer Worlds 2 or Towerborne on the Xbox Meta Quest 3s is a whole different experience. The screen you play on is HUGE! It’s massive and you can make it even bigger. Then lock yourself in a literal Xbox stadium with surround sounds and immerse. The elite strap that Xbox version has (the original doesn’t) makes a difference in terms of comfort. You can search the internet with it too and therefore access games from other places too. the main feature besides the Xbox app and cloud is the VR games with Meta. Many big amazing games and experiences on this device like Citadel, Starvault, saber beats and more. The immersive home and environments help you enter a new world and get comfortable with gaming. Since all you need is an internet connection. You can travel anywhere like family, relatives, hotel or whatever and still use the Xbox Meta Quest 3s and game away. So it’s still portable too. You don’t need the Xbox console to do that. Oh, it’s also the definitive best place to watch youtube videos too. The sirens gets even more massive for that. Low cinema level. It’s a different experience. So amazing Xbox gaming experience, VR games from Meta, portable and set the screen wherever you want, puts this device in first place. It was tough though as these three are crazy good devices. Xbox hardware and devices are the best. 

Xbox Meta Quest 3s VR headset

Number 0

What do you mean number 0?! X35 Earthwalker does whatever he wants. Number 0 will be the Xbox Magnus. This next gen Xbox console will be the dominant new best Xbox hardware. Already stated to be stronger than the PlayStation 6. This makes sense thanks to the hardware and technology that it will have. The Xbox Magnus got AMD working on it. They got some moves going on with OpenAI. This means tech that hasn’t been available to others yet. The Xbox Magnus will have a specific design for it and it only. It will be a Xbox and windows hybrid, so the advantage take that the Xbox ROG Ally X has, the Magnus will have also. Nothing is off limits. Just think of this Xbox hardware as the evolved version of the Xbox Series X. Stronger, more versatile, more stores and the best performance. This raw boost puts it above everything else. Premium console indeed. You will see. 

Xbox Magnus next gen console

Well, that’s the list with an additional surprise. Never forget that all these devices are connected thanks to the Xbox ecosystem. X35 Earthwalker has played The Outer Worlds 2 on the Xbox Series X, then the  Xbox Meta Quest 3s and then finally on the Xbox ROG Ally X. Shared progress, cloud gaming and no issues. It’s just the best way to game. Ley us know what you think. Now Xbox may have the best hardware but it’s still not as good as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Duckside. Duck on duck crime

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Duckside. duck fighting and survival X35 Earthwalker

Duckside is an open world survival action game developed and published by tinyBuild. Duckside came out the 3rd of September 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Already out on PC. X35 Earthwalker doesn’t have anything against ducks. Seriously though, what can these ducks be up to? Let’s take a look.

Duckside is a strange world when you think about it. Basically the ducks have had enough of hunters killing them. Apparently the statistics are that “over 10 million ducks get killed per year by featherless hunters”. So the ducks are now training to be able to defend themselves or just even survive better. Hence the combat trained ducks. Players are ducks. So… quack.

Duckside flying over the desert environment. X35 Earthwalker

So the action is what you’d expect. Remember that this is a “giant archipelago”. So there’s lots to explore, lots to scavenge, building to be done and off course the fighting. Defend yourself and pull out the weapons. Duck on duck violence indeed. Maybe even PvPvE. So gather materials, craft some weapons and gear off course and get yourself a base.

We checked out some Duckside gameplay and it’s what we expected. The game goes for the lighthearted silly side with serious mechanics. It’s suppose to be funny and bring some moments for sure. Ducks with custom hats, bright environments and islands and a cartoonish style. The goal is clearly fun. There’s both aerial and land fights and engagements. Equipment and tools to help with mobility. The base or nests you make stays between sessions and off course they can be upgraded. After all you need to protect your loot and keep out the scummy ducks.

Overall Duckside just seems like a silly fun game that’s about ducks. Few games out there that’s all about animals. There’s a game of military pigs that X35 Earthwalker played years ago. So it can be cool to see games like this. The graphics are good but not happy with some of the animations. We do like how funny things can be. The developers ‘tinyBuild’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what goes on with this game. Now Duckside may have duck on duck violence but it’s too small scale for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Routine. Horror lunar base

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Routine. robotic foes are after you. X35 Earthwalker

Routine is a First person shooter (FPS) sci-fi survival horror game developed by ‘Lunar software‘ and published by ‘Raw Fury‘. Routine is said to be coming out in this quarter of the year 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S and PC. Another Xbox exclusive. X35 Earthwalker likes a good survival horror game, especially sci-fi. Good to see more of these. Routine is looking to show its strength front and center. Let’s take a look.

Routine. Lunar base. Moon and space. X35 Earthwalker

Routine is set on a lunar base. That’s right, we in space. It’s also got a “1980s vision of the future”. This lunar base use to be a tourist and research complex. Now it has gone silent. No chatter or nothing. This reminds us of Jurassic park. Now off course players take on the role of a character who heads out to this lunar base. Now off course curiosity is what brought you here but repairing is what you now must do. So get your tools and get to work.

Now off course Routine wouldn’t be a horror game if it was that simple. Yes the station is surprisingly empty but there is at least something here. Something occupying the place now. It’s an intelligence. Worse, it sees you as a threat. EXTERMINATE!! It’s with this set up that Routine is aiming to set itself apart in the gameplay and mechanics. Remember that routine is first person like Doom 3: Resurrection of evil. These types of horror games tend to be scarier than third person like The Callisto Protocol. 

In this space horror the most emphasis is placed on things like exploration and investigation. Players must go around and actually pay attention. More so to the environment than the enemies. There will be environmental puzzles for you to solve will having a sense of dread thanks to the threat that resides here. Who is probably watching you… maybe even right now as you are reading this. Such is the Routine.

That’s right. Routine is about dread, exploration and slowly learning what’s going on here and what happened. You are armed with a multi purpose device that allows you to mess with systems around the lunar base, of course interact with the environment and even face off against dangerous machines. Things will be happening slowly over time with off course moments of serious danger. After all this intelligence should be aware of what you are doing.

We checked out some Routine gameplay and it’s what we expected. The lighting is top tier and makes the game scarier with the darkness. The details on the environment and around are excellent. They have to be for a game like this. The game is slower pace that others and the robotic foes are cold and behave accordingly. Routine is clearly not the horror game where you will be blasting and firing on many enemies. This more like Alien isolation in that regards. There’s lots of room for stealth too. So come with the correct expectations.

Overall Routine is looking excellent. Another excellent game coming to Xbox and day one in Xbox game pass as well, so make sure to check out and support this game. Routine will force players at times to decide between running, using your tools (limited tools) to survive or off course just hide. Routine is about the atmosphere. The developers ‘Lunar Software’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep and eye out for this game. Now Routine may have a whole lunar base but it’s all too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
