Halo Infinite and The Gunk 🔥. Chorus also looks nice
The Gunk is coming on my birthday? Awesome!
Halo, The gunk and among us. Three games worth the gamepass. Can't wait to try the gunk, and of course, Halo
Halo Infinite, obviously, and for me it's a drop everything in life moment. I have only a mild interest in the multiplayer, indeed, I've not played any of it yet, but for me, Halo has always been about the campaign. I've only ever played every campaign solo, and gleam great satisfaction from beating them all on Legendary in that way. I look forward to doing the same with Infinite too...
I will also be playing The Gunk on the GamesPass, as I will Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. I usually buy every Warhammer game on console, it'll be nice to play this one on the GamesPass, and thus avoid the burn I occasionally get when buying the games...
The other one that I'll be picking up at some point is Grim Dawn. I've played through most of it on the PC, and it is a great game. Happily play through it again on the Series X...
I'm looking forward to playing the gunk.
I'm undecided on halo infinite, I haven't played the previous halo games (properly) and don't have the time to play them all, so do I jump into infinite or give it a miss. Do i even need to know what happened previously
Looking forward to Among Us coming to Xbox. That's been a long time coming.
I'm still playing all the other Halo games so I won't get around to Infinite for a couple years I'd wager.
No offense to the rest of the games coming next month but yeah its all Halo Infinite until at least February!
Totally justified to put The Gunk in the spotlight. Looks nice!
Halo obviously and The Gunk! Few others I’ll keep an eye on but there’s currently too much on Game Pass to play to look any further
Can't wait for Halo Infinite campaign, I'm also really interested in the Gunk, It's a great month for Xbox..
I'll be all over Halo. Nothing else will get a look in until I've Solo'd it on Legendary!
I guess Halo is the one for me as have gamepass.
I’m a single player campaign guy and like some honest preview write ups are a bit concerned.
I hope we have just seen little of the exploration environments, so far ok but stagnant and a little lifeless and very well just the same.
Hope there is variety in environments night and day system and weather effects and some little environment interaction.
It’s obvious there won’t be a top end eco system but a bit of something would be good.
I know Microsoft have mentioned some of this but until I see in game I won’t believe it.
So far it’s definitely no top end looker and some previews mentioned as of yet in the small previews no big Halo moments as of yet really.
“It is time” (said in the voice of rafiki from the Lion King).
Rune Factory definitely isn’t for everybody, but as a fan of the original 3DS version who sadly missed out on the Switch port, seeing RF4 Special on Game Pass is exciting, and definitely saves me a purchase I was otherwise gonna make.
