All those 50 games so many in one month and so many that will faded into nothing. Don’t know how some developers survive.
Anyway Far Cry 6 for me day one.
Back 4 blood on gamepass and riders Republic looks pretty decent but not 100% sold on it yet
For me it will be Guardians Of The Galaxy and Fatal Frame.
I'll wait for the usual Ubisoft price drop when Far Cry 6 will be £30-35 by December. LOL
I'll be giving Back 4 Blood a go on Game Pass.
Back 4 Blood, obviously.
Guardians of the Galaxy maybe...probably.
The Crysis trilogy I'll add to the wishlist and wait for a sale, not much else interests me. Which is fine, Diablo 2 and Castlevania Advance collection will eat a lot of my time, and I've spent a lot on accessories since I haven't been buying a ton of games. Finally snagged an Elite Series 2 controller (and wow, nice controller BTW), plus upgraded my TV audio with a sound bar, sub, and surround satellite speakers.
Damn! So many games I'll end up buying, most this month, though getting through all of them will be tough...:
Phoenix Point (which I kickstarted way back when!) - I'll play this on the GamesPass
BPM: Bullets Per Minute
Disco Elysium
Alan Wake
Disciples Liberation
Riftbreaker
Crysis 2
Crysis 3
Guardians of the Galaxy
Atom RPG
Iron Harvest
I will get Far Cry eventually, but I'll wait for a sale. I didn't enjoy 5 that much. so I want to see the reviews this time round. Just have to hope that the reviewers aren't so enamoured with Giancarlo Esposito that they don't lose sight of the overall game quality. After all, he won't be around for most of the game...
I'll probably pre-order most of these, but I won't have chance to play all of them this month, so I'll probably just prioritise those that have pre-order bonuses. Gonna be an expensive month!
@Clankylad Good catch, Disco Elysium somehow got missed off the list! Added now.
October is looking packed for me probably the busiest month of the year in terms of gaming.
Fatal frame
Far cry 6
Alan wake remastered
Back 4 Blood
Guardian's of the galaxy
Away the survival series
Super mario party
Neptunia x Senran kagura
Caligula effect 2
So hyped for Phoenix Point, Back 4 Blood will get some play time with the lads too. Thanks Game Pass.
Will probably pick up Disco Elysium and maybe NHL 22 if the change in engine has made a significant difference, I'll wait for reviews. Guardians of the Galaxy can wait.
Super Monkey Ball (All getting that on my Switch) and Fatal Frame for the Xbox.
My biggest criticism (if it can be called that) right now is that there are more games than I have time to play on Game Pass. Regrettably many good games get missed.
A nice 'problem' to have.... but still get FOMO.
What would I have done with Game Pass in my teens or student years when I had time to kill? I don't think I would have left the house and would have failed my exams
The biggest thing is Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water because it entails the resurrection of a fan-favourite horror series.
