Forgotten Xbox Series X Game Is a 10/10, Claim Fans

by

Some Xbox fans are now calling a previously overlooked Xbox Series X game a perfect 10 out of 10. This highlights a common trend in gaming: games often gain a better reputation over time. When the game first launched in 2024, it received a respectable but not outstanding score of 70 on Metacritic. User reviews were a bit better, but not exceptionally high – for example, it has an 83% approval rating on Steam and scores of 4.1/5 on the PlayStation Store and 4/5 on the Microsoft Store. However, the game is receiving much more praise on the Xbox Reddit page.

I was browsing the Xbox subreddit and saw a post raving about Harold Halibut. Apparently, this narrative adventure game from Slow Bros is a serious contender for one of the best games of this generation – at least, according to the person who posted. They really seem to love it, and it definitely caught my attention!

“One of the Best Games I Played This Generation”

I recently finished this game, and it’s easily one of the best I’ve played on my Xbox Series X this generation. It’s incredibly unique and a bit strange, with a deliberately slow pace. While some might not like that slower speed, I found it charming and stayed hooked throughout the entire experience. It was definitely a favorite game of mine this year.

The game starts quite slowly, which might frustrate players who prefer fast action. If you enjoy a more relaxed pace, though, or don’t mind a slow beginning, you’ll find a lot to appreciate in terms of charm and overall quality.

One player described the game as starting out ordinary, but quickly becoming captivating. They finished it in just a few days and gave it a perfect 10/10 rating. Another commenter highlighted the game’s long development process – over a decade – and expressed gratitude for the immense effort put into creating such a phenomenal story. They felt lucky to experience a game made with so much dedication.

On Sale on the Microsoft Store

With fewer than 1,000 reviews on Steam, Harold Halibut is a relatively undiscovered game. If you’ve heard good things about it, now’s a great time to try it – it’s currently $21 off! Usually priced at $34.99 on the Microsoft Store, you can get it for just $13.99 until January 8th.
