The year 2020 was tough in all meanings – COVID restrictions and business problems. Before we created Boxville, I tried to cope with all this stress by diving into immersive games, but not suspense ones, rather those which give a feeling of safety and coziness.

In its most recent Q2 2023 earnings release, Activision Blizzard reported that Overwatch 2 “engagement and player investment” had declined over the past quarter.

The former USSR was presented to us in the West as a place of misery, poverty and, at times, evil. During the cold war, the USSR was the bastion of the villain in movies and books. Look at Rocky IV to get an idea of what I’m talking about. But we never really knew about

I may well have said it before, but one of the joys about writing for an outlet such as TheXboxHub is that we cover pretty much any game going. No matter how many “A”s are slapped on the end of it, we will usually get a review out there at some point. This can often
