I should think Hood would be a great fit for Game Pass... hint hint wink wink.
Almost definitely getting Biomutant and King of Seas. Mass Effect LE is a possibility, depending on how I’m getting on with Outriders at the time.
Exciting month ahead!
I was all for Hood until I saw it was PvPvE. That game looked liked it’d be so good as just a PvE game.
Mass Effect Legendary edition is at my top of my list to games to play..
I have Resident Evil Village pre-ordered, and just a few days to complete it before Mass Effect comes out (which I have also got pre-ordered). I've also got the Collectors Edition of Biomutant pre-ordered, though there is no way I'll be finished with Mass Effect by the time it comes out, so it'll have to wait. Plus I have Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground pre-ordered. It's a busy month for me as before I even get to play Resident Evil Village, I'll have to have finished Returnal first! It's kind of unfortunate that everything that I have on pre-order is coming out in the space of 28 days.
Mass Effect is the one I'm most looking forward to, and I'm really curious to see how it looks and plays, and what they have done in place of playing the multiplayer towards the War readiness in Mass Effect 3.
I really hope that Biomutant is good, I've been looking forward to it for so long that I'll be disappointed if it's not...
RE8 and Mass Effect are 2 of my most anticipated games of the year. This is quite the month! I'm still not sure which to play first.
I'll personnaly wait for Mass Effect to come to the EA vault (and so to the GPU) in order to try it. Maybe next year, so
I've pre-ordered Resident Evil Village and then I'll see what else comes to Game Pass this month to try out.
Was tempted to get Mass Effect Legendary Edition as well, but I'll wait for that to either drop in price or hit EA Play later in the year.
Biomutant and ME are on my list but I have so much to play right now I can probably hold off for awhile while I play the games I’ve already purchased 😅
