"The Poland-based indie games publisher and game developer Klabater today announced with great pleasure and joy that their real-time inn management sim "Crossroads Inn" is coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox One consoles (via the Microsoft store) on May 19th, 2021." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Richard writes: "Unfortunately, there are some glaring issues in Crossroads Inn on Xbox that prevent it from being recommended in its current guise; notably that it’s not suited to a controller and is badly optimised. There is a roadmap planned for the rest of this year with new expansions and patches that hopefully fix the issues such as console optimisation and even the missing scenarios. But as it stands, it is best to avoid this one."
Neil writes: "There's a pretty high chance that you know a thing or two about pubs. But aside from the local ales and high priced wines, do you really know how they work? Crossroads Inn is here to teach you the 'inns' and outs of the fantasy themed tavern business as you look to build and run your own drinking hole."
I like management games. Theme hospital, roller coaster tycoon, all that. I WOULD try this but it shows the double edged nature of gamepass. On my PlayStation I see a game I want and I check to see if it’s only on PlayStation. If so I buy it immediately. If not I check to see if it’s on gamepass. If not I buy it. Now conversely if a game is only on Xbox I DON’T buy it because I’m thinking what if it pops up on gamepass. I literally can’t see myself buying a game for my series X unless it’s a 3rd party next gen exclusive. Gamepass is great for me. It’s also bad for devs like this because I would have bought the game if it didn’t exist, or it was only on PlayStation or on PlayStation first.
Crossroads Inn is a production from Warsaw-based Kraken Unleashed Studio, which brings an original gameplay formula – it puts the player in the role of the manager of an inn located by the key trade route in the fantasy world of Delcrys.
