"Xenosis" is a student project from USC Games. One of the first things students should be taught in game development is that 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid 1990's with dedicated 3D cards like the Voodoo3 and the ATI Rage. But the students were deliberately mistaught that's it's okay to release obsolete 2D games in the 3D era of gaming... certainly any professional developer seeing a prospective new hire who doesn't even know about 3D gaming probably isn't going to give them a job. The remarkable part about this garbage Metroidvania ripoff is that the faculty at USC Games, I am not making this up, sat down a bunch of students in 2023, the year that right after Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2 came out, and told them what game development business want in hiring game developers is game developers who can only make pixelcrap ripoffs of Metroid. I cannot imagine how hard the recruiters laughed at the students when they honestly presented this garbage during an interview.

I loved this 100% free game and the looks of the main hero was awesome, too! They looked kinda like a Samus/Megaman/Shinobi hybrid. Worked even fine with my Atrix Ps4 controller, but 26 minutes are quite short of course. Your decision if you wish to play a short, but fun jump&run game fast.

A very short game. I think for being a game made by university students, it was well made. It have a nice ambient and the platform part is very nice. Short, but i enjoyed my time playing it. Un juego muy corto. Creo que, para ser un juego hecho por estudiantes universitarios, está bien hecho. Tiene un ambiente agradable y la parte de plataformas es muy buena. Es corto, pero disfruté mucho jugándolo.

Honestly it's basically a demo, and not a very impressive one.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
