Ranking EVERY Xbox Game Studio From Worst To Best
19. Compulsion Games
Recent Release: We Happy Few
Past Highlights: Contrast
In Development: Unknown
Bought by Xbox in 2018, Compulsion is a fairly young Canadian studio that has released a handful of interesting if flawed games.
Contrast, a platformer with intriguing mechanics and gorgeous design, and We Happy Few, a unique open-world title with a great premise. Both are distinct games with original ideas behind them, but also felt lacking in compelling gameplay...which led to lukewarm sales.
Still, their alliance with Microsoft gives reason to perk up, it's a studio filled with individual talent and massive potential but struggled to get a foothold as an indie dev.
With the recent news that they are expanding their workspace and staff for a brand 'new universe', the next one could finally see their ace ideas get the proper development time and production value to see it through to its full capability.
