Microsoft has officially announced May 2021's Xbox Games with Gold, giving us a look at four more games we'll be able to play at no extra charge with our Gold memberships next month.
In case you missed it, the games are Xbox One titles Armello and Dungeons 3, along with Xbox 360 (backwards compatible) games LEGO Batman: The Videogame and Tropico 4.
The first games will be made available as soon as this week (likely this Friday), so we want to know how you feel about next month's selection, as well as which title you're most looking forward to below.

It's an all right selection. Can't say I am particular excited for any of them; but I will claim them anyways.
One of these days I will actually start playing the one of the many LEGO games I have received via Games With Gold with my daughter.
Lego Batman made this pretty decent
The only game that has 'any' appeal to me is Lego: Batman - but I already have that and completed it so I am not 'impressed' with the selection of games on offer at all. In fact, I won't even bother to add them to my Library in some 'pointless' effort to say I am so disappointed that I won't even 'purchase' these games to add to their statistics - not that individually it will make a difference at all...
I do wonder what MS would do if no-one 'purchased' a game. Would they take note and not offer a 'similar' game in the future? With all the positivity around Game Pass and other aspects, a small vocal group criticising MS's Games with Gold offerings are making NO difference - even if/when Sony get more 'positive' PR with their PS+ offerings..
Will reiterate here that both Armello and Dungeons III have 9/10 positive ratings on Steam. Armello in particular is a great game.
Sad that people don’t consider less well known games to the “worthy” of downloading. Their loss.
I’m quite happy with this selection and would rather have smaller games than big hits that I’m likely to own already.
Not bad but not great either. I already played Lego Batman and got all the trophies years ago but I might play it again.
No, if anything I'm getting tired of claiming and not playing them. I personally think it's baffling how ps users get ps5 games and a regular quality last gen game while we have to do with this.
As I said in the other article, I'm good with these titles. Dungeons is probably we're ever getting to dungeon keeper on Xbox (Hint War for the Overworld devs hint)
This looks like a really fun selection of games. I've never heard of several of them, but for the first month in awhile, I plan on checking them all out. I always trigger the download so I "own" them, but usually cancel/delete most them. Looking forward to trying out some new stuff (at least new to me).
@Cherip-the-Ripper Gamepass is your answer, Xbox are only going to push that from now on and don't seem too concerned with Gold. Where as Playstation almost seem to want PS Plus rather than PS Now to be it's competitor
Overall I give it a 2/10
I think it's alright, but I can understand people not being happy if they only have gold and are comparing to ps plus. But let's face it gold has been absolute junk compared to ps plus for sooooo long. I think gold should be free and they should drop gwg
Lego Batman is pretty decent but I really don’t have the time to play all the games I already own and want to play on game pass so I don’t really care I get my value for money with game pass anyway... So anything extra is a nice bonus, people will complain about anything lol.
@carlos82 you're absolutely correct, just wish gamepass didn't have to be the answer to ps plus.
Said it before and I'll say it again: Game Pass already gives me access to more games than I feasibly have time to play, so I don't lose sleep over the GWG offerings being stuff that's less desirable.
Best month in a while but still well behind both what the service was at its peak and the competition
Lego Batman! Thats made it good for me as i've been looking to play one on the xbox for a while.
The chances of me playing the 1st two are next to nil. The batman game maybe and Tropico 4 looks alright.
Not looking forward to any of them. Just meh.
