@thenewguy @Trmn8r Agreed! I played it through already but I missed a lot of achievements so I may be dipping in again once that enhancement comes out! It was one of the first games I played when I got my One S and it really set the bar high.

I’ve been addicted to Knockout City! So fun! I’ve also rented Sekiro Shadows Die Twice to try out since I’ve been interested but didn’t want to purchase something so outside my normal picks so we’ll see how that goes. Have a great weekend everyone!

I’ve been immensely enjoying my time spent playing this lately! Also think it’s quite addictive!

Could you imagine another sword fighter joining the ranks? The Smash Bros diehards would loose their minds.

I’ve been playing Fallout 4 but I’m not sure how long I will play it. It hasn’t grabbed me like The Outer Worlds did with it’s over the top characters, humor, interesting and colorful world. I feel like there’s a story here but I’m just plodding along waiting to see if something develops.
Have a great weekend everyone!

The Messenger is a great game if you haven’t had the chance!

So you mean Xbox saved E3? I’ve always loved Nintendo (only in the past year and a half grown to love Xbox) but that was a horrible E3. I will say that Metroid game looks pretty cool and I suppose it may scratch the itch until Metroid 4 comes out. As for Breath of the Wild 2… I love Zelda but I’m dubious that I will see that game until 2023.

I’ve finished up Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I hope there’s a new Tomb Raider game in the works soon because I really enjoyed the reboot trilogy. I did end up buying the old games in a sale some time ago so I might try them out and see how they stand for me. I just started playing Little Nightmares since I wanted something smaller before I jump into another larger game- maybe Fallout 4 since I started it for that extra MS Rewards last month and was intrigued.
Anyway enjoy the weekend everyone and here’s hoping for some cool news this weekend and Tuesday ( Nintendo Direct!).

I’ll be continuing my adventure in Shadow of the Tomb Raider in all it’s 4K glory 😁. Happy gaming everyone!

Sadly none since this challenge never showed up to me. Maybe next time..

I couldn’t resist starting up Shadow of the Tomb Raider and I’m glad I did. Just fantastic!

I finished up Alan Wake the other day and haven’t started a new game yet. I was thinking Mafia 3, Immortal Fenyx Rising, or Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Hmm...
On a side note I managed to give the It Takes Two demo a try and am surprised to say it’s quite great.. I will probably buy it if I can get my wife to commit to playing with me.

I may just go ahead and start this up since I’m in between games at the moment!

I can’t find this is it a regional thing?

It’s my favorite so far! Reminds me of Splatoon and the yellow joycons!

I’ll be continuing with Alan Wake before it leaves GP! I started Episode 3 and am interested in where the story is going!

I should have time to finish my play through of Alan Wake before it leaves GP. Just started Episode 3.. I don’t know how many there actually are I guess I’m assuming 5 like Telltale games.

I guess I’ll start playing Alan Wake then! Surprised because I didn’t think it’d been on Gamepass that long.

I’m still chugging along in Journey to the Savage Planet. I initially started it thinking it wouldn’t be a long experience but that seems to be incorrect for me. I’ve finally entered the spire and I think I’m at the last boss. However I still have so many upgrades/ collectibles that I haven’t come across so I’ll be continuing on with this.
I also am going to pick up my new copy of Pokémon Snap today!

Biomutant and ME are on my list but I have so much to play right now I can probably hold off for awhile while I play the games I’ve already purchased 😅

The last 2 few months I’ve made enough to cash out for a $25 card / month. I just put the last reward toward my new electric volt controller. Probably once my prepaid Gamepass runs out in July I’ll start putting my points towards GP unless the 3 both cards go on sale again.

I bit the bullet and ordered this one. I’m excited to see what it looks like in person!

I finished up Halo 3 (awesome!) the other day so I thought I might get back into Journey to the Savage Planet before too much time goes by and I forget it... I’m wanting to play Halo 3 ODST though lol.

Yay! I would love to be picked but this at least means everyone’s closer to playing on their iOS devices..

I’m enjoying my play through of Halo 3 at the moment! Have a great weekend everyone!

Well while I was figuring out my cheapest option to buy Journey to the Savage Planet I started playing Knights and Bikes- which I am almost done with! It’s actually pretty cute and much better in a single player mode than I expected since the AI is good. I also have a few things to do for rewards so I’ll be giving Minecraft Dungeons a bit of time and probably start Halo 3.. I think I really have too many gamesI want to play right now 😁
I will also have to check out PAC Man 99 on Switch at some point because it sounds awesome!

Good news! I just picked this up during the Spring Sale after eyeing it awhile.

I picked up Journey to the Savage Planet and the dlc since I didn’t get to finish before it left GP. Pretty sad to see Overcooked AYCE was at a larger discount than when I bought it 3 days before the sale.. I have my eye on a few more things but I don’t know if I’ll bite since I’ve got some Switch preorders to get.

I enjoyed playing Deliver Us the Moon! Definitely a quick play.. Wargroove is the only one I haven’t tried but I’m not in a rush since I own it on Switch.

I’m glad I haven’t traded in my copy! I didn’t know there was dlc on the works- it’ll be awesome!

@RBRTMNZ Thanks for the tip! It’s a bit disappointing about not having a map since there’s a lot of nooks and crannies but maybe that’s what the game intends.

I’ll have to buy Savage Planet to complete it.. it’s hard to tell how far along I am but these collectibles are time consuming and I have yet to find get a map if that’s a thing.

Great review! I’m going to try out the free level via the friend pass before committing to the full game- sounds good!

I’ll be putting some more time into Journey to the Savage Planet before it leaves GP. I’m not too sure about it but I’m going to give it some more time.

I did buy Overcooked All You Can Eat on a whim yesterday 😅 Even though I’ve purchased the games before - more than once I might add. I just love it and am curious about the upgrades/ changes they’ve made as well as the dlc only available in this new package ( ridiculous but I’m seeing it worked on me).

Also still working through Cat Mario collecting the last few character stamps. We’ve gotten character completions on all the regular levels just need to work on the unlocked harder levels.

I held off on the cool red one released recently in hopes of a green controller so I’ll be getting that awesome green one. Good timing since my old white controller is making some weird noises..

I’m going to work on finishing up Max and the Cursed Brotherhood. I’m getting close- I just found the brother. I’m enjoying my play through immensely. After I finish up with that I’ll be starting Journey to the Savage Planet- hopefully I can finish that up before it leaves GP.
Also the odd bit of time playing Cat Mario- just unlocked Crown World!

I’ll be downloading Journey to a Savage Planet then 😁

@KilloWertz Agreed - about the back to back loading screens. I wish it had been planned better or done a little differently. Those instances where you essentially had double loading screens were terrible- never mind any times you go through a door like that on accident.

This game is ridiculously overhyped IMO. I think the characters themselves are great but if I read about what a treat this game is... I still shudder thinking about playing the final boss on my Pacifist run when I forced myself to finish the game to see if there was something I was missing with all the hype. Needless to say the one play through was more than enough for me.

@KilloWertz Those load times were something else! I would hazard a guess that a substantial amount of my playtime was loading screens. I thought they showed that this game had drastically reduced loading times just playing on Series X when they were showing off the console. I haven’t tried it out myself yet but I thought about jumping back in for the dlcs.

I just started Max and the Cursed Brotherhood because of a Gamepass quest and it’s pretty good so far so I’ll be playing that some more.
I’ve also started Okami recently and am enjoying that as well.
Happy gaming everyone!

I’ve enjoyed the Life is Strange titles so I look forward to seeing that! Sounds cool overall - I might just tune in!

This would be cool if they got it on Switch. Since I already own these I would not buy this - seriously the first one was $3 not too long ago! A steal! I haven’t played the last yet but the others are fantastic.

I finished up Star Wars Fallen Order yesterday.. Good game and would recommend it to someone who likes Star Wars or adventure games. Also at the price of being included in Gamepass it’s hard not to justify trying it out at the very least. I have some chests/ unexplored areas but I really thought that once I beat the game some sort of fast travel would be unlocked which was not the case. I definitely think it’s a missed opportunity since some of the areas are quite large and getting there AND back to the ship is tedious especially since every heal resets all the enemies.

So now I’m going to decide my next game.. I picked up Immortal Fenyx Rising gold edition- traded in my Rewards points and being on sale I spent $25. I may start that, Mafia 3, or maybe Okami.
Have a great weekend everyone!

@Insightful I imagine I wouldn’t get very far at all in Dark Souls 😅. I’ve heard terrible things about the difficulty.

@StonyKL @Insightful when I first started Jedi Fallen Order I was pretty underwhelmed- the game was beautiful, the Star Wars universe was well crafted, and the inklings of a story were there but I had a hard time with the combat and it was frustrating to keep losing without a clear idea as to why or how to get better. So for me the combat system was pulling the whole experience down. I started on “normal mode” and was able to get through a little but decided to try a lower difficulty to at least try to get the flow of combat down. That made all the difference for me- I could get a grasp on the combat, each hit was not so punishing, and I was actually able to get some experience points to start getting skills which are so necessary to do well in combat. Also without that added frustration I was able to enjoy the story/ everything else more. I did end up going back up in difficulty once everything else was going more smoothly and it’s still difficult but more manageable.

@StonyKL It does suck when things leave GP. It’s hard to plan what games to play when if you’re using a service like GP that shuffles games fairly regularly. I’d say a good idea is to keep in mind most games might stay a year (if it’s not a Xbox exclusive) some games like GTA5 were on for maybe 2 months. I don’t think I’ve seen a game come back to GP once it’s left ( I’ve been a subscriber for about a year and a half).

I might give Bloodstained a try since I’ve been curious about it but ultimately I’m not too sad.

I’ve been wanting Gamepass on my Switch since I’ve heard about it! I’ve had it pointed out to me that most likely Xcloud would be more doable since you don’t have to download the titles. Here’s to hoping... and now that I can program my Switch buttons to mimic the Xbox button layout.. sigh

I just cleared 20,000 from starting in February. These rewards are awesome. I can’t say they take a huge amount of time and I only complete the Gamepass quests I’m interested in.
