Top 5 games coming to Xbox One next week

Every week a handful of games release on Xbox One and many elude owners of the console due to their timid marketing. Xbox Wire makes sure you know about them but can’t provide gamers with recommendations. Additionally, their lists are usually incomplete. A lot of these titles are absolutely phenomenal and it’s a shame that they aren’t noticed. Here are some games coming out between August 7 and August 11 which you should check out. Some of the experiences are quite obvious while others may surprise you.

Blackhole: Complete Edition

When the crew of the spaceship Endera is sucked into a black hole, it seems like the end. Fortunately, the ship crashes on Entity–an unidentified object resembling a planet. After the crash, the first member to wake up is the guy who makes coffee for the crew–you! There’s no one around and your only ally is Auriel, the ship’s computer’s sarcastic AI. Together, you’ll need to come up with a plan to fix the spaceship, save the others and become heroes of planet Earth by closing the black hole once and for all. It won’t be an easy task, because the mysterious caves, lost cities, towering mountains and deep forests are full of tricky, gravity-defying puzzles and deadly traps.

Masquerada: Songs and Shadows

Set in a Renaissance-inspired city of magic, Masquerada is a single-player tactical role-playing game that involves elemental magic, gorgeous hand-drawn art, and a rich lore to let you sink into this fantasy world of intrigue and tragedy.

Apart from the games mentioned above, Xbox One is getting Jump, Step, Step. There might be other surprise releases in there too like the recent ACA NeoGeo Zed Blade. This week might not be as eventful as the last few put together, but it still includes some fun titles. All of these are great experiences Xbox One owners should try out.
