It's time for another round of Pick One! This weekend, considering we're reaching the end of the month, we thought we'd take a look back at Xbox Game Pass in July which brought us a whole bunch of great new additions to the service.
I've just started Escape Academy which I think I'll enjoy.
I bounced off Powerwash Simulator very quickly. Seeing a whole filthy garden for the first proper level after taking ages just to clean the van was a big nope.
Says it all when a game where ya squirt water to clean things is the best new game on Game Pass. The new PS+ extra an premium is so much better. It simply has better games!!
As Dusk Falls was brilliant. One of my favorite games this year so far. What’s funny is that I was looking forward to Stray on PS+ Extra and thought it was boring and way overrated. Thanks for As Dusk Falls on GamePass!!! Already on my second playthrough!
@sjbsixpack You mean the games that any serious PlayStation gamer has already played? Until Sony put 1st party games on there day 1 like Microsoft does on Game Pass it will always be inferior in my eyes.
@Acurisur never gonna happen. PS AAA exclusives often sell 20+ million. The hit would be huge, far bigger than the hit Microsoft take. Less money would mean less investment which would mean the quality of future games would drop. I don’t mind paying £50-£60 a few times a year for games that are on another level. Day one exclusives on Game Pass is great but lets be honest, Xbox exclusives are not on the same level as PS exclusives, Xbox realise this, hence why tgey started adding them to Game Pass day 1.
The only two that I played from the list were Escape Academy (which I enjoyed, but was really only okay), and Solasta Crown of the Magister (which I bought anyway, and which is superb albeit slow and difficult to fully understand)...
Inside for me, a little gem of a game (even if the ending was a bit meh). Tried Powerwash Simulator but just couldn’t see the attraction. Reminded me of watching paint dry but each to their own. Already own FC5 and I will give Watchdogs 2 a try. Moto GP was quickly deleted - visuals are fine but the handling is a million miles away from the Moto GP games I remember (and enjoyed) on original XB. I’ve just gone all nostalgic for those early days of XB Live!
@sjbsixpack Not on the same level as PlayStation? Agree to disagree on that point. But I do own a PS4 as well so I do understand your point. Ghost of Tsushima was my GOTY for 2020.
@Acurisur Ghost of Tsushima, TLOU 1 and 2, Uncharted 4, God of War, Spiderman, Miles, Days Gone, Death Stranding. Playstation are absolute masters of big, story driven games which happen to be my fav type of games.

Easily As Dusk Falls, awesome story
Imma go with Watch Dogs 2. I had only played Legion before. The second iteration was so much better. Too bad they messed up the sequel.

to be honest this month is worst month of the year
Been enjoying both Power Wash Simulator and Watch Dogs 2, gotta give it to WD2 though, great game so far!

@Cherip-the-Ripper @sjbsixpack ps+ doesn't have sense of humor, though 😂
Walmart has series Xs right now. $499

DJMAX was my favorite easily.
As Dusk Falls, by far. Really awesome story to echo @Zucaritas
Escape academy so far. Loved every minute of it, but haven’t played many
Road 96! (I enjoy game pass the most when playing shot and sweet indie games)
