Why don't reviews point out the TERRIBLE performance on Xbox One? It stutters, janks, glitches.

But mostly, the way your missions build up is a bit meh to me, right from the start. 'Gather your own spaceship parts!' 'You won't get a part before you do this mission!'

Wow, quite a few games I put a few hours in disappearing this month. Nights in the Woods, Ikenfell, Forza Motorsport 7, Drake Hollow and especially Hotshot Racing. Loved that last little arcade racing gem.

All this time, I haven't seen a concentrated racing track. Hope they didn't overlook those in their scope of bringing a wide world.

Honestly, I'm a bit scared FH5 will be a bit style over substance.

Wow, Bulbasaur really has grown in Mulaka, hasn't he?

Expected scores likes these (okay, well, not 10/10's, but really high scores still) the first moment I saw footage of this. Everything about is just feels and looks clever and outstanding.

Why is every Spencer fart an article on this site?

WOW.

Bigger isn't always better, to say the least, but I'm really interested now...

Read a lot of reviews that I would like this even although I don't like roguelikes.

It plays fantastic.

But I still don't like roguelikes.

So when I'm tired of the same candy-colored art style already seen in that game with the hole and two pets attached (forgot both titles haha, blame Game Pass!), this has absolutely nothing going for it. :'-)

I've jumped on this game a day after these problems, and wow, I'm enjoying it.

I know it can have a different effect on basically any headphone, but how does 'Superhearing' increase the localisation of sound effects like footsteps and gunshots? Does it create a bigger soundstage? Does it emphasize higher tones? Is the sound still doable when higher tones are emphasized - or does it easily oversteer like with many cheap headphones (including the ones of Turtle Beach itself), creating harsh, painfully bright sounds?

I think you haven't described the best feature of this controller: being able to change the volume of the game sound and chat sound independently from each other, straight from the controller.

After all those reviews stating this is the roguelike for people who hate roguelikes... IT HAD BETTER BE TRUE.

Hades may not be my cup of tea, but with so much hype, I can't skip it right? Also want to play Art of Rally.

It's not Tetris Connected, but had a few nice sessions with Lumines again already.

• Lumines! Don't think I already had this version, so great to dive into again
• Twelve Minutes
• Psychonauts 2
• Hades
• Art of Rally

And willing to try Curse of the Dead Gods too, looks pretty good actually. Nice month!

@John117 Not true, as Recompile is Series only.

The original. By a landslide. All those weekends of 8-player local LAN parties. Unforgettable. Also, the singleplayer campaign was the most intense as well.

• Psychonauts 2
• Twelve Minutes (another promising story driven game so soon after Last Stop!)
• Hades

Definitely have my interest. @PureXbox, in list like these, it's convenient to mention of a game is Xbox One compatible still.

The Artful Escape looks great!

Enjoyed completing the first two worlds of Omno. Didn't even get around to playing Last Stop beyond the first three chapters, but definitely want to. Same goes for The Ascent. And Raji.

Great summer line-up!

Great you're giving this some attention. Last Stop is also worth checking out - not much gameplay perhaps, but a gripping storyline!

Just going to say it: these games didn't age well. Oof.

Looks great - like the stylish Cartoon Network-look on this one.

Nice list, will definitely try out

• Omno
• The Ascent
• Last Stop
• Cris Tales

Would I have tried any of those games without Game Pass? Probably not!

Waaaaaat! Didn't see this comming!

Not much Zelda going on here really, but wow, this looks good.

So looking forward to this after having collected over 500 cars in FH4...

Nice, will surely try this out.

Looking forward to the Halo Infinite singleplayer/ online coop campaign. There will be one, right? Less so towards the online multiplayer part.

Forza Horizon 5 may be the game I'll play the longest... but let's not underestimate Back 4 Blood here with a couple of friends...

Tunic. Played it just before this weekend, but it's too alpha to make a good first impression. Especially the lack of a gripping musical score and sound effects, left me unimpressed.

Strong Gameboy Advance-shovelware vibe here.

This looks great.

That's quite nice, and may in fact be a good way to motivate players to download DLC themselves too.

Hmm, will try Tunic.

Seems nice. Will definitely try it out!

Atomic Heart looks great, Forza Horizon 5 looks awesome - and it seems that Game Pass will be filled with tons of fun coop games. I need to get more friends to get an Xbox.

Scrolled through my recent YouTube videos in channels, saw all those trailers ending with Game Pass mentions. Incredible - such value in that service. It makes up for missing out on variety in the games itself for me.

But what's Halo about it? Could have been a Destiny Xbox just as easily.

Loved this game. Beautiful storytelling - although you do get a lot more out of it when you show interest in characters in the village you're returning to.

Oh, that's a great theme for a game like this.

Calling it already, after a ton of bad 3D Sonic games:

This will be absolute sh*t.

@FraserG Good additions, thank you!

I don't dislike the looks of this controller, but I feel this review is a little limited. How good is the D-pad for Tetris and fighters? And you may not be audiophiles, but it's worth checking the sense of space and detail around you in a multiplayer game of Warzone with the same headset normal controller vs this controller, right? Very curious what your findings are!

I hate the design of this game, but it does work... and I liked the training modes as well. Perhaps I should just dive into an online game then...

Will launch Psychonauts this weekend and start up The Wild At Heart too, because I like the style. Don't expect to be grabbed by the gameplay however.

This is a Go Big Or Go Home situation.

Wait... does this shed new light on the 'A UbiSoft original' approach?

I'm loving the first game more than I did back in the days. So much originality!

Hope they won't ruin the pure-mad-fun action. Let's go!

Still... it played better than any 3D Sonic game ever.

Aaaaand... I just remembered all the timed-based missions combined with those controls.

Nevermind.

Joy Ride Turbo is worth a try if you have kids, and even though it already looks a bit repetitive already, I'm willing to give The Wild At Heart a try. Like the shark game.

Not much else for me here. Happily, a friend and I just discovered Sniper Elite 4 on Game Pass is a lovely, lovely online coop game.
