These Four Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 12-18)

Excited for still wakes the deep and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a few shadow drop games on Sunday so a great month so far with octopath traveler dropping today

I thought The Callisto Protocol was good, until the last two hours. It just became annoyingly difficult at that point.

@FraserG well the 6th-13th if you don't have a pc like me lol

I really liked The Callisto Protocol.

It had a really fun story, tense combat, and I found it had its own identity despite being compared to Dead Space and "lost points" with the public because it wasn't Dead Space. The Final Transmission DLC was fantastic!

My only complaint was that somehow my save file got lost of corrupted or something and I lost 4 hours of progress (though that may have been due to whatever system-level issues Xbox had at the system level for Cloud Synch that only came to the forefront due to Baldur's Gate 3 issues). I can't exactly blame the game or the developers for that though - it was just annoying.

I can not wait for Still Wakes the Deep!

I finished Callisto in May and it's probably the worst so-called "next-gen" game I've ever played in my life. Terrible characters, generic/uninspiring story, the most dreadful combat in the history of horror games, constant loading screens, etc. I wouldn't play it again even if it was the last game on Earth.

@UltraGuy me too. Really liked the setting and crunchy combat. I enjoyed it as well.

@Romans12 The last boss was a pain.

I loved the Callisto Protocol, so much so that it's one of the only games that I decided to play through twice. I think the comparisons with Dead Space were incredibly detrimental to it as the combat gameplay is actually very different. The focus of the combat in Callisto is on melee, and if you play it on that basis, and upgrade your baton as you go, it's brilliant. If you play it like Dead Space and try to shoot everything then you're missing out on a big part of the game's design.

The Callisto Protocol was extremely enjoyable to me. I never understood the degree of hate it received. It wasn't perfect but it's a good game 🤷

Another one I bought that hits Game Pass. I can really pick 'em!

Even when I wait for big sales, Game Pass waits with me. LOL

Damn, Octopath Traveler 1 + 2 AND The Callisto Protocol? This is a dope morning.

Damn, I don't have time for all this. Between finishing Jedi Survivor, then lords of the fallen, still wanting to play lies of p, ...and now octopath traveler 2 and callisto. I'm screwed.

isonzo has a single player tag in the store, might check that out.

I thought Callisto was kinda bad, but I'm pumped for Octopath 2. Started it up last night with Castti.

Callisto has “gamepass” written all over it. I already have it via PS+ (and haven’t even touched it) but seems like to perfect game to play for free.

Remember that we also got Hellblade II this month. June has been HUGE for GamePass and more likely to come on Sunday!

Oh my gosh yes!!! I've wanted to play TCP very badly and came close to buying it on sale many times. God bless GP.

Callisto Protocol was awful. I finished it on PS4 a few months ago. It was a horrible experience, especially in the final areas. The combat was not made for multiple enemies at once.

Too many games! I'll never get through what I'm playing.

I have already resigned to the fact that one gamer can not possibly play every game on GP - it’s impossible not enough hours…

Waiting for Flight Sim 2024

Disappointed Depersonalization is only on PC! It looks awesome!

@AlwaysPlaying I don't want to play them all, but I have a hard time keeping up just with the ones I WANT to play! I do try to try most everything before it leaves, though.
