Casual gameWoodo is a gentle, well-crafted diorama puzzle game whose tactile placement loop and voiced narration carry it further than its low difficulty does. S...Good7.6Sail Forth

About the Xbox hub
This hub gathers the games in our catalogue that are released on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, each scored out of 10. Because Xbox shares so much of its library with Windows PC, many of these are games you may already know from our Steam hub; listing them here lets you browse by the console under your TV rather than by store.
Every game has one review, labelled with all of its platforms, so you can see at a glance whether something also runs on PlayStation, Switch or mobile. Use the genre and price filters to narrow the list, sort by top rated for the highest scores or by newest for fresh reviews, and follow any entry through to its review and its Xbox store page.
Scores belong to the game, not to a single console build: each review publishes its sub-score breakdown next to the headline number, and the same score is carried to every platform the game is listed on.
Get our picks when they're worth it
We'll write when there is something worth your time — our newest verdicts and the top-ranked picks across apps and games. No fixed schedule, and we will never share your address.
