Before We Leave, a fun and deep city builder from Team 17 lands on Xbox today, and I have been playing it for the better part of a week. And I'll admit off the top that I was really skeptical of how this game would run on console. When it comes to strategy games on console, only two have really worked in my opinion: Planet Coaster (which I played on the PlayStation 5), and Two Point Hospital (which I played on Nintendo Switch). So the question became - could I find a equally fun experience on Xbox and love it? Let's take a look.

Only a few times in any generation of consoles do we get a title like Yoku's Island Express, a game full of charm, but coupled with fantastic unique gameplay that makes you realize you are playing something truly special.

Read MoreThe Escapists 2 is Pure Fun
It's not often you play a game with a few issues that you overlook because the game is just pure, damn fun. That is the Escapists 2 for me, a game that, despite some of its repetitions, is just too much fun NOT to play.
