Poll: Are You Happy With January 2021's Xbox Games With Gold?

Dead Rising, Little Nightmares, and the other two
.

^{_{whoops I just realized that the second one is King of Fighters lol}}

I'm kinda saddened by the still overwhelming negativity surrounding this pretty solid offering. It's definitely a LOT better than what we've seen over the last couple of months, so personally, I'm quite happy with these four great titles.

Hate to say it, but they need to just let this go. Game Pass is obviously killing GWG now.

@ThanosReXXX I agree, it's quite a good offering this month.

Seems like a great offering. There's literally one game I haven't heard about before this and the others are supposed to be good.

@Captain_Chao5 Well, maybe for you, but not for those of us who have zero interest in and no time for Game Pass. I would like to be able to actually play games when I want, instead of for how long they're available.

And of course, with Games with Gold, you have the benefit of instantly and fully owning half of them, as we can do now with OG Xbox and Xbox 360 titles, something that Game Pass doesn't offer, seeing as that's basically Netflix for games. Just as fleeting/disposable and just as uninteresting to me...

I have no interest in these games, except for maybe Breakdown.

Really happy, Downloading them now.. little nightmares 2 is coming out soon so really glad to pick these up..

If you haven't, play Breakdown. Back in the day it was amazing. Still waiting for the sequel that will never come.

@ThanosReXXX
My point was the GWG titles have been pretty poor since Game Pass gained popularity. I totally agree with your comment and I wish the 'free games to keep' were better.

@Captain_Chao5 Ah, okay. It seemed like you implied that GwG needs to go away already.

Mind you, I think it's fair enough if Game Pass is a superior service for other people, so fair enough in that regard, but for me, with a very busy private and professional life, I just don't have enough time to be able to play all these games for rent, especially not when the attached service decides when and for how long I can play them, so it's just not for me.

@ThanosReXXX yeah I'm actually really looking forward to these, I enjoyed the first Dead Rising back when it came out and haven't played it since. I love the old King of Fighters games, so I'm looking forward to that. Never played Breakdown and that looks really interesting and I'm playing a lot of games from that era at the moment, I might give the other one a go as well and with The Medium at the end of the month I'm gonna have a great time with my Series S without spending another penny

@carlos82 If you like first person action adventures/shooters, then you'll probably enjoy Breakdown. I still own the original, and the story and gameplay is actually surprisingly solid and in my opinion still holds up pretty well, regardless of the obviously aged graphics.

But if the story grabs you, you'll probably forget all about that soon enough and then you'll just enjoy the game for what it is: an arcade adventure in a sci-fi setting.

I just bought Little Nightmares today...nightmare!

I’d be happy if games with gold were all Xbox/360 games from here on out. Love me some backwards compatible games

I think the Xbox One games are weak, simply because I already got Dead Rising and Little Nightmares doesn't interest me, but the 360/OG games are very solid choices.

@Nermannn Same, especially since the 360 giveaways work as a free purchase of the game.

I wish the F.E.A.R games and Condemned 2 would get on XSX compatibility list.

It's the best month since what seems to be an eternity.

I'm particulary excited about KOFXIII : I already have it on PS3 but I was seriously looking for an xbox 360 copy in order to play it on my Series X. No need to find one anymore, that's great.

And this offer should naturally boost the number of players avalaible online, which is great !

Wouldn’t mind giving Breakdown a go, plus haven’t played Dead Rising for years so happy to replay that one.

May try Little Nightmares. Maaay try Dead Rising 3's online coop mode.
