BALL x PIT answers the age-old question, “What if you mixed Breakout/Arkanoid with Vampire Survivors-like bullet-heaven madness?”. The answer, to the surprise of no one, is a crazy mishmash of genres that works beautifully, and it’s Day One in Xbox Game Pass, although it lacks the longevity of the titles...
