What Is Hauntii?
Xbox Game Pass members who enjoy experimental experiences won’t want to skipHauntii, which is a textbook example of such an offering; the debut title from Moonloop Games mixes puzzle-solving with twin-stick shooter elements into what’s promised to be a one-of-a-kind experience. It also stands out from the competition with its distinctive hand-drawn visuals, althoughMoonloop saysHauntii’s art style was chosen for purely practical reasons.
What is Galacticare?
Standing in stark contrast toHauntii’s gameplay formula isGalacticare, which is a management sim with a sci-fi twist. Specifically, thisday-one Xbox Game Pass titletasks players with building, expanding, and managing an intergalactic hospital. Setting the game in outer space gave British studio Brightrock Games a wide creative license to come up with a bunch of wacky species and illnesses, on top of other elements that makeGalacticare’s setting unique. The technology that players have at their disposal is as futuristic as one would expect from a sci-fi management sim, with the game featuring everything from short-range teleporters and subspace portals to holographic doctors and robot surgeons. Aside from a story in which players can embark on a mission to save the galaxy,Galacticarealso features a sandbox mode.
