A Cursed Realm
Now available on Xbox consoles – a first foray onto console for a game that has previously only been PC-exclusive – Tunguska: The Visitation is heavily inspired by the novel Roadside Picnic, and sets you slap-bang into the middle of all of the panic that came with the Soviet era.
You are a Ghoul Hunter in a long-abandoned Soviet Exclusion Zone, which has come a cropper after the mysterious Tunguska event of 1908. Your goal? Figure out the mystery behind this terrifying and dangerous area, avoid the monsters that aim to kill you without a second’s thought, and perhaps make a bit of a fortune in the meantime…
The console edition of Tunguska: The Visitation just so happens to be the Complete Edition. This means that your hardcore survival experience will come bundled in with a ton of previously-released DLC that PC players must shell out extra for.
This includes New Game+, additional modes such as Slaughterhouse mode, additional weapons in the Shadow Master DLC, and story-based additional content such as the Ravenwood Stories DLC. You lucky, lucky Xbox player!
