I love the creative weapons and the feedback they give when you're shooting baddies, I like the creative worlds and even the platforming elements - the first time a shooter nails it.
Honestly, Eurogamer's 'Avoid' on this title is their s***tiest review in ages. High on Life is like a first person Ratchet & Clank - it's a fun fest.
Honestly? I think it’s Halo Infinite that’s gotten to its actual form with the brilliantly implemented online coop mode. As it’s not in the list, it gets the remaining 1 point from me:
1. Elden Ring
2. Deathloop
3. High on Life
4. Tunic
5. Halo Infinite
Bonus point? Beacon Pines. Completed and loved it.
I loved Bulletstorm the first and complete playthrough I did with it, and I see the new version has online coop. If only I could find someone interested enough to play this with... with Halo Infinite and Far Cry 5 being on Game Pass as great coop shooters already.
Ghost Recon seems like a nice online coop game, but is it just me or is it very hard to find friends who want to play games coop for a longer amount of time?
It plays like a charm, but I would have really liked it to play against friends on the same Xbox. Sadly, you can't login to the game with Guest accounts, so it's a lot of hassle.
I'm actually done with it. Playing on the recommended Highly Skilled level, you can just select a quick enough car and crash your way into victory. It has little to do with racing...
The racing itself isn't interesting to me honestly, and in the first B Class-tier everything feels very easy, even on Highly Skilled.
However, did complete all missions in the tier, and will want to complete the next tiers as well. It's great to tick some boxes and have some missions in Forza again.
To be honest, Hot Wheels' structured mission setup could work great for the entire game!
@Stoned_Patrol Strongly disagree. The regular Horizon (4 or 5) has a certain sweetspot between arcade and precise racing, but you won't see any of it back on Hot Wheels-like tracks. That wasn't the case in 3's DLC and wasn't the case in the user generated weekly Hot Wheels-esque tracks so far.
Motorsport is boring to me. I can't get enough of Horizon's sweetspot - but Hot Wheels certainly doesn't do it for me.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is on sale as well, for as low as $3. Rarely discounted and one of the most fun instalments in the entire Lego game series if you ask me!

Re: Review: The Witcher 3 - One Of The Greatest Action RPGs Upgraded For Xbox Series X|S
@ParsnipHero My point exactly.

Re: Review: The Witcher 3 - One Of The Greatest Action RPGs Upgraded For Xbox Series X|S
So, what I'm not getting.
Halo Infinite gets its bloody brilliant online coop and replayable missions update which upgrades the entire game. Silence.
The Witcher III gets a visual update. Everyone reviews it again.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Reveal At The Game Awards 2022?
Judas and Diablo IV have my interest, but the sequel to Jedi Fallen Order is my favourite out of them.
Re: Far Cry 6 'Lost Between Worlds' Expansion Looks Nothing Like Far Cry In Gameplay Intro
It looked to be very original, breathtaking even from the trailer. But seeing the actual gameplay...
Re: Elden Ring Brings Free 'Colosseum' Update To Xbox Consoles This Week
This will be fun... to watch on Twitch.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (December 6)
Just continued playing the beautiful and rather brilliant Jedi Fallen Order, and it seems I'll throw in another Star Wars game into the mix.
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (November 29)
Soccer Story has a nice chill vibe, fun to play too. Hope to play Insurgency in coop as well.
Re: Review: Gungrave G.O.R.E - Addictive Arcade Action That's Definitely An Acquired Taste
@GamingFan4Lyf It's okay, you can press Y when you have a Beat score of 50 or more to wildly shoot around you, aiming at everyone there.
Re: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 3 On Xbox Series X, Two Performance Modes Confirmed
@EliJapan Why would it? The DLC is very expansive anyway, no reason to hold back for 2 pounds extra right...
Re: Here's Your First Look At The Witcher 3 On Xbox Series X, Two Performance Modes Confirmed
Awesome, awesome fan service by Projekt Red.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 19-20)
Halo Infinite in coop! It's bliss. It's the way it should be - with 1 or 2 friends. Sooooo good.

Re: Lots Of Games Reduced By 90% In The Xbox Black Friday Sale 2022
@Lup Haha, why would you buy a game you don't really like?
Re: Talking Point: What Kind Of Review Scores Do You Think Sonic Frontiers Will Get?
6/10's coming in... at best.
Re: 'Destroy All Humans: CC' Is Now Free On Xbox, Complete With Achievements (1000G)
That's a nice surprise!
Re: Multiple Games Reduced By 90-95% In Xbox's 'Deep Discounts' Sale
Hope Abzu makes the next deal of insane deals!
Re: These 10 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (November 1-15)
Slow month so far. Pentiment and Somerville do look nice.
Re: Chivalry 2 Brings The Fight To Xbox Game Pass This Tuesday
Ooh, I'd love to coop this!
Re: Hands On: Prodeus Is A Fantastic Retro Shooter That DOOM Fans Should Not Miss
Came back to this article to just say: it's that good. Hell yeah.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In September?
1. Prodeus
2. Beacon Pines (finished and completed)
3. You Suck At Parking
Of course, Assassin's Creed and Deathloop are the real showcases here, but I just like these games even more.
Re: Six Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 15)
Tried Metal - Hellslinger, and while it's nice, I can see it getting boring quite quickly as well.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a great addition, but I bought it before and stopped playing it.
It doesn't matter that much though. I'm having a great time with You Suck At Parking.
Re: Humble Games Announces Multiple New Xbox Game Pass Titles
Prodeus looks quite ace.
Re: 'Atomic Heart' Gameplay Trailer Provides Fresh Look At Its Bonkers World
I have the feeling this shooter will be one of the very greats. If it plays as well as it looks, whoah. Just whoah.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed At The Future Games Show (Gamescom 2022)
Benedict Fox and Phanom Hellcat look quite nice. Guess I'm still a sucker for some 2D gameplay - even though I never seem to finish a platformer.
System Shock also looks great.
Re: Who's Your Daddy?! Is Still One Of Xbox's Most Popular Games
Could be short fun with four players... the same way Goat Simulator is to some people?
Re: Pick One: What's The Best Racing Series In Xbox History?
1. Forza Horizon 4/5
2. Blur
3. PGR2/3
Re: Apple Arcade Exclusive 'Little Orpheus' Is Coming To Xbox Next Month
Looks nice. Hope it has a bit more gameplay than that guitar platformer published on Game Pass last year.
Re: Gorgeous Cinematic Adventure 'Planet Of Lana' Hits Xbox Game Pass Day One
I'm a bit too nervous of a gamer to really enjoy a game like Limbo or Inside, but as it looks so pretty, I'll definitely give this a try.
Re: These 8 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 16-30)
Tinykin and Immortals Fenyx Rising are great additions!
Re: Xbox Game Pass Shooter 'High On Life' Confirmed For Gamescom Showcase
Haha, I'm all for this!
Re: Rumour: Immortals Fenyx Rising Could Be Coming To Xbox Game Pass
Liked the demo. Expect the full game to be a bit of a grind-and-repeat like every UbiSoft game, but will definitely give it another spin.
Re: Calico Gets Review Bombed On Xbox, Dev Calls For 'Better Moderation'
Just a quick question: is there anyone here that DOESN'T check the Metacritic score of a game before buying something?
Re: Soapbox: Forza Horizon Is Spinning Its Wheels, So Let's Bring Back The Best Racer On Xbox
BLUR.
The best alternative to Mario Kart ever. What a fantastic 4-player couch game.
Re: Deals: 400+ Games In This Week's Stacked Xbox Sales (August 2-9)
@Dusk_Actual An upvote to point out the best deals in a list. Cool idea!
Re: Another Five Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (August 15)
Boyfriend Dungeon actually entertained me for about three hours I fired it up just to try it... haha
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 2-11)
Ghost Recon seems like a nice online coop game, but is it just me or is it very hard to find friends who want to play games coop for a longer amount of time?
Prefer to dive into Far Cry 5 coop anyway.
Re: MultiVersus Is The Most Popular Free-To-Play Game On Xbox Right Now
It plays like a charm, but I would have really liked it to play against friends on the same Xbox. Sadly, you can't login to the game with Guest accounts, so it's a lot of hassle.
Re: Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels Hits 1 Million Players In Under 2 Weeks

Re: Skull & Bones Developer Claims The Game Lacks Depth In Every Area
I lost much faith in UbiSoft after the last Rainbow Six... they literally had no intention of making that an enjoyable game in any way.
We should take this signal seriously, I'm afraid.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Forza Horizon Expansion To Date?
Fortune Island. Loved and completed it.
Re: Your Xbox Series X|S Will Soon 'Boot Up' Even Faster
That's nice, but what I'd really like is a fix of the Quick Resume. It doesn't work well EVER.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels
@Royalblues Yep!
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 21)
@Dusk_Actual Does it have online coop by any chance?
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels

Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (July 19-29)
As Dusk Falls on the same day as the Hot Wheels FH5 expansion? Tough choice - and I still have some hours of Road 96 ahead of me as well. Nice!

Re: Here's Your First Look At The Map In Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels
The Hot Wheels tracks just have so little to do with regular racing and cornering.
Re: Lots Of Games Reduced By 80-90% In The Xbox Summer Sale 2022
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is on sale as well, for as low as $3. Rarely discounted and one of the most fun instalments in the entire Lego game series if you ask me!
