Hellblade 2 Enhancedis a brand-new updatefor the eye-popping action-adventure game that adds a Performance Mode, Dark Rot Mode from the original game, new photo mode options, and developer commentary. It doesn’t offer much reason for those that have already played throughHellblade 2to return to the game, but those that have yet to check it out will be in for a more fully-featured time than those that played at launch.
As far asGears of War: Reloadedgoes, it is a remaster of the originalGears of Wargame. The originalGears of Waris playable on modern Xbox consoles through Game Pass and backward compatibility, plusGears of War: Ultimate Editionis also available on the service as well. However,Gears of War: Reloadedis a huge graphical and performance upgrade that may make the return trip to Sera worth it. Not only that, butGears of War: Reloadedfeatures the game’s beloved multiplayer mode, which makes it an even more exciting prospect.
