Sure, on the surface it's clearly a game about mining, but is the title also foreshadowing something else? Our hosts have been tasked with descending into the dark to harvest precious metals and locate the source of some unsettling noises in this action-adventure, roguelike game by Thorium Entertainment. What will they unearth as they spend an hour with the game? Will this random Xbox Game Pass title turn out to be a real gem? Will there be even worse puns in the episode or was this all of them

If you thought we took a break from games to watch a horror film... you probably googled the wrong title. On this episode, our hosts talk about their hour-long experience with the single player adventure game developed by the very indie studio Infinite Fall. Originally funded on Kickstarter, this game has made its way on to Xbox Game Pass and was randomly selected by the "Surprise Me" button for review. Will this game live up to prior expectations? Will an hour of game time reveal enough of the

2021/05/20

The fuzz is out to stop reckless racers in this twentieth(!) installment of the famous racing game franchise. Our hosts might be considered "rivals" of a sort, but will they feel "the need for speed" while playing this arcade racer developed by Ghost Games? The Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button is clearly interested in the answer because it has selected this particular title from the myriad of options included in the game library. Will Tom get lost in the car customization? Will Chris just get

What do you get when you combine acclaimed comic book artist Joe Madureira with a turn-based RPG? For this episode, the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has landed on an interesting choice. Both Tom and Chris are certain to bring some amount of unconscious bias to their hour with this turn-based RPG developed by Airship Syndicate and published by THQ Nordic. Will they be able to look past their personal attachments and deliver a fair review? Will Chris finally get the Battle Chasers ending that

It's time for shootin' and lootin' in a post-apocalyptic world filled with punks and marauders... If there's one thing we should all know by now, it's that the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button sure likes to make Tom and Chris experience the apocalypse. On this episode, the guys review their hour of play time with Rage 2, an action-packed first-person shooter developed by Avalanche Studios in conjunction with id Software. Will it matter that our hosts have never played the first game? Will they

"Dungeon" sounds promising, "Endless" not so much, especially when we only have an hour on the clock. For this episode, Tom and Chris found an hour to join up and tackle this random selection from Xbox Game Pass together. How will the two of them feel about this roguelike tower defense game developed by Amplitude Studios? Will the bias of playing cooperatively taint their review? Will help from random strangers boost or hinder their desire to keep playing once the hour is up? There's only one way

Horror is on the menu at this fictional pizza chain and Chris is less than thrilled about it. Nevertheless, the Surprise Me button on Xbox Game Pass has randomly selected Five Nights at Freddy's by Scott Cawthon for this episode and so... play it, he must! Will he be able to get past his aversion to jump scares and find some joy during his hour of game time? Will Tom discover that he has been totally missing out on this popular franchise?

Did you know this game's plot revolves around blood? Well, it IS the first bullet on the ESRB rating. Also "vein" is in the title, so that should have tipped you off... It looks like the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button landed us on another post-apocalyptic title, but this one has an anime twist! Will this action role-playing game developed by Bandai Namco feel like Dark Souls and Final Fantasy had a spiky haired love child? Will an hour be enough time for us to make our characters and still get

Space is always an enigma... but for how long? Ever wonder what it would be like to be the Artificial Intelligence of a spacecraft? It's probably not something you have considered, but in this plot-driven puzzle game developed by No Code, you can find out! There's no doubt that the Surprise Me button built into Xbox Game Pass has selected a truly unique experience this time. Just one hour is all we get to decide whether to keep unraveling the mystery or leave this one unsolved. Give this episode a

What does this special episode have to do with a teenager's coming of age party? Nothing, actually. It turns out this phrase has a completely different meaning in the sports world and we are using that definition here! Let the games begin! On this VERY special episode, we have our dear friend Eric from Game Positive (http://linktr.ee/GamePositive) join us to recap the first 16 games that we've played here on 1H1D.

If you ever wondered why your train was late... this might help you understand. Train Sim World 2020 is apparently the fourth version of the simulation game developed by Dovetail Games. Just like Killer Instinct before it, TSW has seen many revisions since its inception and has now been randomly selected for us by Xbox Game Pass. Will the allure of riding and conducting familiar trains captivate us? Will we develop a better appreciation of mass transit? Give this episode a listen to find out! What

2021/03/18

Are we allowed to say "bastards" on this show? It's probably okay if it's in the title, right? What do you get when you mix a science-fiction first-person shooter with a roguelike? Yes, you read that correctly. This title developed by Blue Manchu and published by Humble Bundle is a fusion of two genres that don't sound like they pair well together. That said, the one rule of this show is that we must complete an hour of gameplay before pronouncing judgment. Will this pairing be more like french

What do dinosaurs, robots, skeletons, werewolves and elemental creatures all have in common? Apparently a desire to punch and kick the crap out of each other. This reboot of the 1994 arcade fighter was developed by Double Helix Games and published by Microsoft as a free-to-play launch title for the Xbox One back in 2013. Over the years, numerous things have been added to the game and now it has been randomly selected by Xbox Game Pass for this episode. Have the years been kind to this over-the-top

Where we're going... we're gonna need clean underwear. Tom has been planning to play this survivor horror title developed by Creative Assembly since it was published by Sega way back in 2014. Chris has been doing his best to avoid its jump scares for just about as long. Needless to say, the two were quite surprised when Xbox Game Pass randomly selected it for the show.

Waste of time or enjoyable experience? Let's dive in! Perhaps you are noticing a trend. Xbox Game Pass seems to enjoy having us face the aftermath of the apocalypse. How will this crowdfunded sequel to 1988's Wasteland stack up against the rest?

Roguelite? 2D Twin-stick shooter? Daft Punk style pixel concert? Yes. We each take one hour of our busy lives and devote it exclusively to playing this 2D platform shooter created by Veewo Games. Will the retro feel of this title appeal to our old school roots? Will the neon tantalize, will the abyss consume? Will we demand our time back? We've heard that nostalgia is a heck of a drug, let's see what kind of role it plays in our decision to keep or trash this game. What do you think? Let us

Guns and politically incorrect jokes, what could go wrong? Can we put a disclaimer in here? Playing this shooter developed by Devolver Digital‬ was not our decision and we place all blame (or perhaps credit) on the "Surprise Me" button included in Xbox Game Pass. Like Fallout 76, we took the opportunity to play this one cooperatively and it was a doozy. Will we be allowed to keep creating podcasts after this one airs? You better listen to it while you can!

This one was NOT random, because we are two very big Toriyama-Stans! We were both interested in trying this Square Enix action RPG and it conveniently arrived on Xbox Game Pass. We could not squander an opportunity like that, so we gave the Surprise Me button some time off and made our own fate for this episode. After an hour of game time, will we feel like we made the right decision? Listen and find out! What do you think? Let us know! Hit us up on Twitter at https://twitter.com/tc1h1d Drop us an
