I hope they bring the modern stuff back into AC. Valhalla had an amazing modern day story and then... We've got Mirage and Shadows.
Shadows is awesome but it has almost nothing that makes it an AC.

@huroma

Yeah, it's not for everyone. I can squeeze 2-3 hours a day, so I could finish a few short games, or a little less if they're longer.
For example we'll be getting Ninja Gaiden 4 (probably on the shorter side) and The Outer Worlds 2 this month. Two games I wanna play.
The Outer Worlds 2 is probably gonna be big, but I think I can manage the two.

I'll pay for a month when Ninja Gaiden 4 releases to play that, and play The Outer Worlds 2 too.

@huroma

It really depends. I don't "rush". Coming back to them is something I don't really care about. I have a 1000+ games backlog, so I don't usually replay stuff.
I understand if it's unfun to you, but for me it's cool.
I enjoy playing two games, and save close to $100.

@Tomato_Goose

I've bought it close to release to be honest. One of the two or three games I didn't mind paying top dollar for. Totally worth it imo.

Hogwarts Legacy is really good. ⚡

Does it suck? Yeah, it does. I usually just buy a month here and there, there's no rewards in my region.

For me it's still a really good deal (worse than before, of course). But if I can manage to beat two new games in a month that's like $110 I'm saving.

Honestly I have already bought most of these, but it's still pretty cool. I love Ubi. 👌🏻

I'll do the same as always. Play a little of Career Mode, remember that I don't like football games and move on. 😂

I have a ***** connection and never had trouble with this not with cloud gaming Game Pass games, but honestly I most of the games here I don't care about.

Both Middle-Earth games were great. Hogwarts Legacy was amazing.
This could be really good.

Really good month. We're eating good. 🔥

Just Digimon for me. Really liked the demo, but I'll probably wait for a sale.

I've been playing Assassin's Creed Shadows' DLC, and I'm trying Lost Eidolons which is pretty good. Basically Fire Emblem.

Happened to me quite a few times since I don't know, like 6 months ago.

One of the best metroidvanias of recent times.

@Kaloudz

Just leaving this here...

@FraserG

Deus Ex is also on the store. Pre-ordered it already.

Cool to have a date for Crimson Desert. Nothing else interesting aside from DW3R.

It looks really good! Not my favorite DW but we'll see.

Looks cool. Hopefully it comes sooner or later.

I was 100% ready to skip this one, but Dark Ties makes me really think about it.
I'll probably wait for a sale or if it ever comes to Game Pass, don't wanna support remakes of games available on current gen.

@JumpingJackson

Probably, but never learned how to use them here. 😂

Only interested in the RGG one, the indie one, and the Xbox one.

But they told me it's uNsUsTaInAbLe.

@Kaloudz

Completely different games though. One went the action RPG route and the other one it's turn-based...

Crazy that I can say a sentence like that and the turn-based one it's not FF. 😂

Finished The Outer Worlds, so I'll be going back to Sengoku Japan in Assassin's Creed Shadows now that the DLC is out. 🔥

GOTY from the GOAT Yuzo Koshiro. 🙏🏻🔥

Ah, most of these are FPS. Sadly that's a genre I'll never like, even less the retro ones.
Still, always glad less games are skipping Xbox.
Something that's more my cup of tea and released today is Earthion from the GOAT 🐐 Yuzo Koshiro.

Zero interest in this. Will probably be the second AC I'll never buy.

Not the place to say it, but I donwloaded the Digimon one, and it's really good!

Welp, gonna have to replay 3 sooner than expected.

Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, let's goooooo.

And Sworn comes to Game Pass?! Damn, we're eating good.

It's a wonderful machine and you get your money's worth.
Of course the X is more powrful but that's the point.

@Will46

I don't use Steam nor visit Metacritic. It was precisely YouTube which flooded my feed with a lot of "woke/trash game/worst game of the generation".

What I meant to say was that for each fair review there were five that were BS.
What I also meant to say is that even those fair critiques are subjective.
I enjoyed the game's narrative and I enjoyed its writing and characters.
That's why it's subjective.

And when I used the "hate" word I wasn't referring to the fair reviews which I don't think are hateful. Was referring to the vast majority of comments or reviews simply hating the game for its "wokeness" and because it wasn't Dragon Age: Origins, something that Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition weren't, so beats me why they expected that.

@Will46

That's subjective, but very well.

Was hated most of the time for stupid reasons, and sometimes was fairly criticized.*

There.

There's quite a few I'm interested in, but in my region they take a lot of time to appear on the store. You sometimes can't even preorder.

I playing the first The Outer Worlds to prepare for the second one.
Maybe I'll do the same with Ninja Gaiden, but only with 3.

I've been playing The Outer Worlds which I've never finished before. It's great. Big New Vegas vibes.
I'll jump to Assassin's Creed Shadows when the DLC comes out though.

I didn't even know this subseries existed. 😅

Seems that PS exclusivity didn't work too well for Squenix. 🤣

Was never a fan of Dragon Quest nor Toriyama's designs to be honest, but I'm glad this one doesn't skip Xbox.
I'll probably give the series another chance with the 2D ones.

Danganronpa 2 is great. That new content makes me wanna buy it again.

Like a Dragon and Shinobi are the only ones I really like.

And I've been unapologetic saying how overrated Far Cry 3 is. 🤣
4 and 5 do everything better. Can't go back to 3 or 2.

But about the multiplayer... I mean there is probably a playerbase for that, but I'm not a fan. I much prefer the single-player stuff, be it Far Cry or any other series.

Crazy how some quests took 5 years to fix.

@Nightcrawler71

I've been playing it but just a little. Like two or three runs just to try it. Didn't lose any upgrades yet, but it could be something that happens playing more?
Game is super fun, but yeah, that has me a little worried too.

I'll try Rogue Waters since it's been in my wishlist.

I've completed it 100% and it's great fun. Another game hated just for the sake of being hated.
I'd say it's a solid 8 for me, maybe even a 9.

Will definitely try the Digimon demo. There's been a crazy amount of crazy good demos lately!
