Ball X Pit was easily one of my top ten games of 2025. It was such a unique roguelike, combining classic ball breaker mechanics with the, let’s face it, overcrowded genre. That game launched in October 2025, and little did I know I would miss a game a month later that was just as genre-bending, called Monsters Are Coming. Now, this month, as of August 2026, it got into Xbox Game Pass, which is why I checked it out. Let’s see how it stacks up a year later. Enjoy!
