There’s something for everyone in the latest batch of new titles released on Microsoft’s Xbox One console with game genres such as fighting, roleplaying, and puzzle all getting their fair share of the spotlight.

Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign is a puzzle game that has been experiencing quite a bit of popularity on touch devices and has now made its way to consoles. The game consists of a basic match-3 mechanic that’s easy to pick up and play but the real appeal is the character levelling system, roleplaying game elements, and storylines written by Marvel Comics’ writers. Also, unlike LEGO: Marvel’s Avengers and Disney Infinity which exclude characters such as the Fantastic Four and X-Men, Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign contains almost all of the popular characters from all of the Marvel films and even includes a wide variety of comic book characters such as the Squirrel Girl and the new Ms Marvel.
