It's become an annual tradition at this point for Xbox boss Phil Spencer to pick out one or two Xbox Game Pass highlights from the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, and this year he's picked The Last Case of Benedict Fox.
Spencer shared his thoughts on Twitter last night, commenting that the lovecraftian metroidvania catches his eye "as something I'm really interested in personally", calling it something he "can't wait to play":
"There are always a couple of new games in our showcase each year that catch my eye as something I'm really interested in personally. This was one for me this year. Can't wait to play."
The Last Case of Benedict Fox is coming to Xbox Game Pass in Spring 2023, and is described as a game where you'll "fight demons, explore the subconscious, and solve elaborate puzzles in a labyrinthian adventure".
Last year, Spencer chose to highlight the snowboarding game Shredders as one of his highlights from the Xbox Games Showcase 2021, along with the 2.5D action platformer Replaced, which is now targeting a release window of 2023.

I can't say this jumped out for me. It looked 'interesting' as a story but the game-play looks very dated. Its not a game I'd have on my 'purchase' list at all - however, its on Game Pass so I may well give it a try if it reviews well...
Great taste Phil. This was one of my highlights too. Right up my alley along with Silksong.
This kind of game isn't my thing. These kind of metroidvania style games tend to be very challenging and i dont like challenging games at all. The art style of this game looks amazing though and im sure the people love this kind of game will understans that Phil picked this one.
To me it looked like Ori, but as a Victorian noire. Not a bad thing, but not an amazing thing.
This game looks awesome and I will definitely play it but high on life is my most anticipated game. It just looks like a good time all around....the triple I indie game.
So a game from the XBOX & BETHESDA showcase he's picked out & it isn't made by either lol
Might be good. I’ll try it when it comes to gamepass.
Same game that intrigued me
