This week we’ve got a game that might scratch that Squid Game itch, a new addition to a majorly successful racing series, and a new WWII first-person shooter.

Here’s a breakdown of the four games coming to Xbox this week

Tunche – Tuesday, November 2

Tunche is a beat’em up with roguelike elements and includes hand-drawn animations as well as a co-op mode with some shaman witchcraft for good measure.

Players can choose from one of five characters who each have their own skill sets and ultimate abilities which will help you defeat bosses while uncovering the secrets of the Amazonian jungle.

The game apparently focuses on engaging the player with high-risk, high-reward combat as well as a ‘stylish’ grade system that presumably measures your performance in each level.

Each hero caters to a different playstyle so it’s probably best to experiment with each one before fully committing to travelling through the four different worlds in the game.

Bloodshore – Wednesday, November 3

Bloodshore takes a very unique approach to interactive gaming in that it’s more like an interactive action movie.

The movie televised follows a battle royale between high-profile streamers, entertainers and death row inmates.

Players will take on the role of Nick, a washed-up actor who is fighting to win the life-changing cash prize.
