That being said, the gameplay & graphics were absolutely top-notch
I agree graphics and gameplay are top notch for sure also ran perfectly with no lag or any glitches but i could never really get into it.

Keep in mind it is a rogulike game so make sure you like those type of games before you buy it.

Also it starts of pretty hard but after you play it and start to understand it, it becomes much easier. For reference, It took me about 10 hours to get through the first level /boss and another 10-15 hrs to get through the other 5 lvls/bosses combined.

If you end up playing it and start getting frustrated with the challenge feel free to pm me and ill give you some great tips that will for sure help you beat the game.

Halo Infinite absolutely crushing it.

Just imagine if they didn't cut 2/3 of the content and not release the game without co-op, forge, firefight, and lots of game modes.

Hades for sure, dropped for ps4 this year but has been on PC since 2020.

RE Village otherwise.

I'm going with It Takes two.

Simply because it's fresh as ****, and has good couch-coop. It's a travesty that couch-coop isn't as popular now as it used to be.

Friend who is a hardcore RE fan told me to wait until it's on sale. How good is it against the most recent titles released?

Yeah Halo Infinite is almost a perfect game. It probably is on Xbox where it's better optimized. On PC it's like a 9.8/10.

I want to play RE village, but since the last one was on game pass I assume this one will be eventually. Given all the other games I don’t have time enough to play, I can wait.

Exactly. Game pass is GOAT. So many games and not enough time

RE Village looks pretty cool though. Nice setting

I'm not playing it until it hits game pass next year, but it sounds so intriguing to me.

Yeah i thought that game looked interesting and i'd like to play it but wont pay $60 for it. Don't regret spending $60 for RE Village though. I'd buy Elden ring full price as well too.

It's fawking great. Story, graphics, action, set pieces is all dialed in to where it's basically roller coaster ride. There's only one place to go at any time but that lets them constantly shock and surprise you.

It's less scary than other RE games but there's an absolutely terrifying section too. The theming is all over the place so you're always doing something new.

Don't sleep once it hits gamepass you and Avalanche are in for a treat.

Can confirm, at least so far. Picked it up when it was $30.

the way they use audio/sound in the environment to manipulate your fear/suspense is incredible

Games like 'hades' and 'ori' are not normally stuff that i would go for, but i'll give them a chance since they're effectively free cheers. Already played gears 5, fight night, and grim fandago (way back in the day though!)

this is a good resource to find stuff.https://gamepassport.net/

you can sort by scores, release date, etc.

Based on your single player comment I'd say Hellblade, A Plague Tale.... you already did Gears 5 but did you do the Hivebusters single player dlc? Halo. Wasteland 3 if you like rpg's.

Thanks i'll check it out, that's very useful lol

I haven't done hivebusters yet but i guess i want something a bit different, i've played every gears game up to gears 5 on release lol. Of course i'm a halo nerd so i've already completed halo now

I've heard a lot about hellblade so maybe i'll try that. This is why game pass is awesome though, i've pretty much been uninterested in gaming for around 5 years but game pass (and halo) has really piqued my interest again. My friend also keeps bugging me to play fallout new vegas which i've already downloaded but can't find the motivation to play (i've never played fallout though so maybe i'm missing out)

My pick and it's not even close.




It's no wonder so many people finish this game in only 4-6 sittings. I would get so engrossed in it that time would absolutely fly by. The only other time I've ever experienced that is when I play Civilization games.

With that said, this year I played and completed Hellblade, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Tribes of Midgard, Ratchet & Clank PS5, Res Evil 7, Greedfall, Cyberpunk, Sniper Elite 4, Humankind (as much as such a game can be completed), Sea of Thieves (likewise), and MK11 Ultimate.

I suppose Ghost of Sushi comes in second place. But it's a distant second.
