I enjoyed the last Game Pass game of the creators of Her Story, of which I already forgot the name... to be honest. Will definitely try out Immortality - the golf racing game as well.
Wow, so many new additions when you look at it. Honestly though, I only played Forza Horizon 5 this month. I'm a dedicated Game Pass member and play lots of indie games, but this wasn't my month.
Just calling it: The Stanley Parable will be a Game Pass surprise sooner or later. And I hope it will be as well, as a playthrough is highly recommended because of the brilliant narrative.
XIII-lovers may take a look at RICO London by the way.
@Mingus Don't agree at all. The voice acting, walking around and the fights of Naheulbeuk are generic and a chore.
I disliked Tunic the first ten minutes, until a review changed my mind about the intention of the game. It's ment as a mystery, with corridors and rooms you can't really see... but are there, and make the sense of discovery great.
I'm liking the discovery and surprises of Tunic, but I'm already looking up to the bossfights, considering how hard it already is to avoid regular swordstrikes. For me, a story focused difficulty is always a plus - and it's something Tunic doesn't have. Will continue playing it, however. Great first hour.
Will probably do the weekly challenges in Forza Horizon 5 as well. Shredders, however, is a bit too simple in game design for me.
Would be fun to do this with some friends, as a desert to a Forza Horizon 5 session for example. Hope it does work better than Forza's convoy options...
Bikes? Hell no! A stunt island like the two previous games? Hmm, no, I'm good.
Honestly, I don't really have inspiration myself, but something like Tokyo would be great for drifting and intense street races - and I'd like to see some electrification as well - but I don't think it's very likely.
It looked great in IGN's preview, now after two minutes of talking (you can't make that up in a coop oriented game!) and the already repetitive action thereafter... I'm not so convinced anymore.
Also: is this the start of the game? Tens of 'critical' hits on small monsters? Bullet sponge bonanza. Meh.
@Dsswoosh I had the same! Looked forward to Steep, but was done with its clutter within half an hour. I will likely play Shredders without music, just to hear the snow and nature.
FAR looks great as well, definitely trying that out.
Will play A Memoir Blue too, and probably finish it in a single or double ride.
Not agreeing with every game on this list, obviously - so many people and so many tastes - but in my book, the first Gears of War and Forza Horizon 4 should absolutely be in this list.

Re: Three Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In August 2022 So Far
I enjoyed the last Game Pass game of the creators of Her Story, of which I already forgot the name... to be honest. Will definitely try out Immortality - the golf racing game as well.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Is 'Really Enjoying' Road 96 On Game Pass
Liked the first chapter/ playthrough, will play it again and probably finish it as well. Intriguing.
Re: Gotham Knights Gameplay Trailer Showcases Robin's Smooth Moves
Cheesy, but I don't know if it's trying to be. Hmm.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Upcoming Game Pass Launches Are You Most Excited About?
Great to see Atomic Heart get some loving!
1. Forza Motorsport
2. Atomic Heart
3. Redfall
4. As Dusk Falls
5. Starfield
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 25-26)
Ooh, after checking out the weekly Forza Horizon 5 challenges, I'll also check out some Fall Guys again. Want to try the Turtles game as well.
Re: Review: Sonic Origins - A Supersonic Collection That's Lacking TLC
Still lacking a save option. Easy cash, trash release.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Buying Forza Horizon 5's Hot Wheels DLC?
@rtr0GMR1 Yeah, this sums it up for me as well.
Re: Halo & Fall Guys Crossover Leaks Ahead Of Free-To-Play Xbox Launch
Noice. Very noice.
Re: Project Gotham Racing's Failed Reboot Helped Create Forza Horizon
And while you're at it, racing developers, make a Blur-like 2nd expansion for Forza Horizon 5. Man, that was the best Mario kart-alternative ever.
Re: Blizzard: Diablo 4 Is A 'Full-Priced Game Built Strictly For PC & Console Audiences'
Truly hope this will be on Game Pass. I find Diablo worth the money, but it can definitely help to find other players to play alongside with online.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2022?
Seen some very surprising and nice looking games!
Sad to see that Diablo IV won’t be on Game Pass, however, and the lack of Halo Infinite coop gameplay isn’t promising.
Re: Diablo 4 Officially Arrives In 2023, Xbox Gameplay Revealed
Wait, was there no mention of Game Pass for this?
Re: Poll: What Do You Think TMNT: Shredder's Revenge's Metacritic Score Will Be?
Too repetitive: 64.
Re: Forza Horizon 5's First Expansion Has Leaked On The Steam Store
Noooo!
Really hoped for something more original. Like...
ANYTHING would have been better than returning to Hot Wheels again, which is basically just a more orange version of the better user generated tracks.
Re: Video: Here's Seven Full Minutes Of Sonic Frontiers Gameplay
'Interesting' would be the most positive thing I can write about this.
It looks like a fan made tech demo rather than a proper Sonic game. It's so empty, so devoid of typical Sonic colors and elements, all so replacable.
Re: Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Xbox Game Pass Game In May?
Wow, so many new additions when you look at it. Honestly though, I only played Forza Horizon 5 this month. I'm a dedicated Game Pass member and play lots of indie games, but this wasn't my month.
Re: Umurangi Generation Special Edition Hits Xbox Game Pass This Month
This looks seriously weird. Let's try it out!
Re: Your Weekly Roundup Of Incredibly Cheap Xbox Games (May 10-16)
If you're looking for a great couch co-op experience, definitely check out Lara Croft and the Temple of Isiris.
Re: Xbox Insider Update Adds 'Reveal' Option For Secret Achievements
Nice! Currently using TrueAchievements for this.
Re: Roundup: Five Games Were Announced For Xbox Game Pass This Week
Ooh, 2 vs 2 tennis may actually be a nice coop game. Bring it on!
Re: Review: The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe - The Perfect Expansion To An Endlessly Inventive Experience
Played this and love(d) this. Such a unique experience!
Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (April 28)
Will try both, but I don't expect I'll stick to them.
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (April 25-29)
Just calling it: The Stanley Parable will be a Game Pass surprise sooner or later. And I hope it will be as well, as a playthrough is highly recommended because of the brilliant narrative.
XIII-lovers may take a look at RICO London by the way.
Re: Gallery: Xbox Japan Website Shows New Screenshots Of Sonic Origins
How are people so hyped up for Sonic collection #7651?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 16-17)
Some Forza Horizon 5 seasonal challenges no doubt, may start Memoir Blue and/or Life is Strange as well.
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give Tunic On Xbox Game Pass?
@Mingus Haha, touché.
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (March 21-25)
I'm all in on The Pizza Boy Who Saved the World.
Oh wait...
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Is Pure Single Player With No Microtransactions
HURRAH? No! BOOH! I looked forward to this as possibly the best online coop game ever.
But it doesn't have coop.
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give Tunic On Xbox Game Pass?
@Mingus Don't agree at all. The voice acting, walking around and the fights of Naheulbeuk are generic and a chore.

Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 15-31)
A Memoir Blue, if it will actually appear this month, maybe Weird West and definitely Shredders for me.
Re: Xbox Canada Has Created An Incredible-Looking Woolly Wireless Headset
Haha, awesome
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (March 14-18)
The Mooseman looks quite nice, and so does The Wanderer.
Or... are both just showing concept art?
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From The First Forza Horizon 5 Expansion?
Bikes? Hell no! A stunt island like the two previous games? Hmm, no, I'm good.

Re: Samurai Adventure Trek To Yomi Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Day One
Wait, we knew this already right?
Re: Perfect Dark And Avowed 'Probably' Coming In 2023, Says Jeff Grubb
Let's be careful to call Perfect Dark a 'massive release'. Perfect Dark Zero was absolute horsesh*t.
Re: Deals: Multiple Games Are Reduced By 90-95% On Xbox This Week
@Leuke I just looked up Beast Quest... 33% score on Metacritic. Oof.
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 1-10)
Fired up FAR: Changing Tides yesterday and liking what I'm playing so far, even though I'm not really a fan of the Limbo-like physics puzzles.
Then started Telling Lies and wow... got me hooked for three hours in a row. Amazing recent addition to Game Pass!
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 1-10)
Guardians of the Galaxy! Nice surprise! I will definitely check out FAR as well, looks amazing.
Re: Huge Forza Horizon 5 Series 5 Update Adds Sign Language Options, New Cars
I think these are the most important updates... if fixed properly this time around.
Re: Waiting For Tunic On Xbox Game Pass? Don't Get Your Hopes Up
Has anyone of you played the demo? It wasn't even remotely, even a tiny bit finished. Lost my hope on this one, actually - Game Pass or not.
Re: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Is Shaping Up Well In This 20-Minute Preview
It looked great in IGN's preview, now after two minutes of talking (you can't make that up in a coop oriented game!) and the already repetitive action thereafter... I'm not so convinced anymore.
Also: is this the start of the game? Tens of 'critical' hits on small monsters? Bullet sponge bonanza. Meh.
Re: This Xbox Download Glitch Is Becoming Increasingly Common
@Nightcrawler71 Me too, quite annoying indeed.
Re: The First Two Of March 2022's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
Not into survival games, but Flame in the Flood looks pretty great!
Re: Xbox Game Pass March 2022 List: Coming Soon & Leaving Soon
@Dsswoosh I had the same! Looked forward to Steep, but was done with its clutter within half an hour. I will likely play Shredders without music, just to hear the snow and nature.
FAR looks great as well, definitely trying that out.
Will play A Memoir Blue too, and probably finish it in a single or double ride.
Re: Rumour: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For March 2022
Whoah, pretty good lineup!
Re: 50+ Best Games On Xbox Game Pass (February 2022)
@Nf157 What Remains of Edith Finch is beautiful indeed, despite the terrible performance in the first stages of the game.
Re: 50+ Best Games On Xbox Game Pass (February 2022)

Re: These 15+ Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (February 21-25)
Hoping for a surprise relase of Istanbul on Game Pass. Would be very relaxed to play online with some friends.
