Oh Oh Ohhhh! I love a level editor... now this will be fun to return to, can't wait to see what the community comes up with.

One thing I like about games leaving, is that I always see 2 or 3 I'd like to play before they do leave haha! I should make an effort to look through the games list more thoroughly in future...

I agree, humans can be horrible. It's one thing posting opinions about the game, but when the comments are personal and rude, then that for me is going to far.

I was introduced to 'Slay The Spire' and can't stop playing, it's quite addictive. Been playing Bejeweled 3 as well.. haha!

@Diotz
To be honest, this is nothing new, it's been happening for years.
The only way is to vote with your wallet. DO NOT purchase on day one. Have patience, wait for reviews, then make your mind up. I've always had this mind set because I refuse to hand over my hard earned cash for half baked goods.

@CenturianShark
"I noticed there's a lot of Sony fans bombing this game everywhere..."

Clearly their PS games aren't gripping enough either, that they find time just to post FANBOY nonsense.

Loop Hero for me... very addictive, can't stop playing.

Think I will try Before We Leave, Before It Leaves...

@GuyinPA75
I completely agree. I used to play The Division 2 on the PS4 and played a lot. You are constantly upgrading your character and build, it's never ending. The D2 has just gone on sale again and there's been a ton of content recently, with more to come, so I'm thinking of buying for my Series S and playing again.

Game Pass for me has been a god send. I recently returned to XBOX gaming about 7 months ago and I've been enjoying a lot of older games I missed out on, so currently the exclusives have been a bonus. If exclusives where taken away, I'd like to see the subscription price a little cheaper.

Yes... The Division 2... I missed out on the last sale, so will make sure not to miss out again.

At the end of the day both EA and 2K23 are good looking golf games, and both play really well, but there's something about 2K23 I enjoy more...

Love The Division 2 so looking forward to even more content. That Decent mode sounds like a lot of fun.

The Division 2 is fantastic. I've been playing that game since it's first release and I'm still experimenting with loadouts and progression... it's never ending. Agreed, more content is required so I'm quite excited about this news.

I went with The Division 2. Progression and upgrading is never ending, I love experimenting with the weapons and build, and it looks stunning.

Oh damn, Tetris leaving! Might look into purchasing that...

I too got the new DLC for Vampire Survivors, it's a great, addictive game and deserves the support. I also bought 2K23 PGA Tour for £15. Actually prefer it over the new EA version.

It does look like a lot of fun, but I never purchase games day one. I like to wait for gameplay reviews and then decide.

I've played most of their games, so this unfortunately isn't worth the monthly cost to me either.

Can't stop playing Loop Hero, it's pretty addictive. Also tried the trial and free play of EA PGA and PGA 2K... ended up buying PGA 2K as it was on a 50% sale also preferred it over the EA version.

@Nic-Noc20th-C Was thinking exactly the same thing. I have already tried the EA Golf trial and thought "Yeah! It's OK". So will definitely give 2K23 Golf a go. I'm intrigued by the course editor in 2K23 Golf.

Downloaded Loop Hero last night... couldn't stop playing... Seriously! the game is super addictive.

Every time an update is released, I jump back in for a few days, then move onto something else.

So far I'm really enjoying it. But there are two things in sports games that can really take you out of the moment... Crowds and Commentary.

The commentary is good, but there are moments where they will go wild for a simple shot that the CPU player did, but say nothing to my far better shot. Also, the crowd reacting weird is another. On one occasion, I noticed some of the crowd facing the opposite way, clapping, or their feet buried in the ground.

It just takes you out of the moment...

I've just re-discovered how much fun Sensible World of Soccer still is. I used to play this so much on my Amiga back in the day that the floppy disc got tired and stopped reading. I had to rebuy the game.

Also a little bit of Crimzon Clover World EXplosion on switch... love me a good SHMUP.

Damn! I guess that means that The Division 2 won't be seen on Game Pass anytime in the future.

Like a lot of others, I've been playing Pinball FX since it was first released, I love pinball. I've put a lot of my hard earned cash into buying tables over the various versions, so having to do it again does feel a bit grating. I do like this new version, but it doesn't feel like there is much of a connection with the community as was talked about. They still have leaderboards, but I was hoping for a bit more of a stats page like FX3 had. In FX3 there used to be a news feed highlighting what your friends had scored on certain tables, so you instantly felt like you had to go try and beat it... I just don't see that anymore. FX3 also had a Wizard and Superscore that basically tallied up all your friends table scores together with yours, it was fun... again this is missing. So yeah, somethings just missing....

Well... I nearly downloaded the XONE version the other day as I haven't played a SIM game in ages, so looking forward to this.

@Stoned_Patrol completely agree. This is one of those games you don't need to waste much brain energy on. Just a great game for a casual gamer like myself.

The last version I played was Forza 4 on the 360, yes that long ago. I've recently moved over from Playstation, so I'm really excited about this game.

I'd love the game to have a stats page so I can actually see just how many monsters I have killed lol

I'll definitely like to re-visit some of these games over the Christmas holidays.

Whoa nice... I'll definitely be getting this. Game is so simple and mega addictive.

I watched a video on Youtube last night showing the Series S running along side the Series X, and they performed no differently. Now correct me if I'm wrong, the Series X hardware is more powerful and you get more storage, but it certainly doesn't feel like you would be missing out on next Gen gaming and features on a Series S, unless of course you care about 4K and Ray Tracing...

@Stnkygrngo Yeah I thought it was a Tekken character too

@Vepra @antstephenson Ahhh OK cool, thanks

I could never enjoy Fortnite when it was first released, I just couldn't handle the building element whilst trying to defend myself at the same time... not sure if things have changed much.

I'm a massive Star Wars fan, and have been since the original trilogy, so I'll definitely have some fun with Star Wars Lego.

@JayJ
Yeah, I wasn't that excited about my trial with the game either. Fancy visuals aside, I just didn't think it offered anything that much different from the usual open world racers we've had over the years.

Agree with all the comments here. If you strip back all the fancy visuals and art style, it really does just feel like a generic, open world racer. I personally don't think it offers anything new.

Having a lot of fun with this game. Some battles I've had are so chaotic... surrounded by smoke, gunfire, the sound of overhead chain guns from the choppers, tanks reigning down shots... no other FPS is as immersive as Battlefield when it's at its best.

Brilliant!!!! I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so looking forward to this...

Haha I'm deffo giving this a try...

I'll be trying the NFS trial for sure...
