This drop might not seem exciting, but it’s a sleeping giant of sorts.Tales of Vesperiais worth playing if you haven’t experienced it before, and it feels right at home on the Xbox 360: a former bastion of JRPGs and the one to welcomeVesperiainto the world originally.Katana Zerois also a great way to get sucked into an afternoon if you enjoyedHotline Miami.

There’s a lot to choose from! It’s the calm before the November 10 Xbox Series X storm.
