I got this the day it shadowdropped last week. I’ve played a little bit into chapter 2, and this game is legit. A lot of it is walking so far, yes, but that gives you more time to appreciate the world you’re in. It’s freakin gorgeous. The music is fantastic. I had my first encounter with the enemy in this game, everything gets instantly dialed up to 11. Very well made game from what I’ve seen. Please buy if you like more chill and atmospheric games!
(For the quick resume bug, I recommend just playing this game old school and manually saving during parts like when you get to where you are supposed to be for your quest. If you continue off of quick resume, your game can’t manually save. So if it gets closed, you’ll have hours of progress gone.)
I expect this is the beginning of Microsoft adding big games to try and justify game pass’s price jump. This is a good start, but it doesn’t really make me want to renew my subscription after I turned it off just before the price increase. If they can really get the ball rolling and add more high value games from the activision blizzard backlogs, I guess I would consider returning
Well it looks like the sale hasn’t officially been added on my Xbox store, but all the actual games are discounted so I’ll have to manually search for which games are on sale until at least tomorrow when they make it official lol
Rayman origins is an underrated game in my opinion. I got it from the game pass deals selection for about 1 dollar, and I was stunned by just how good it looks. The art style and the gameplay hasn’t aged a day, despite the game being from the 360 era. Other games I’ll shout out are Bejeweled 2, all the 360 Halo games and Metal Gear Rising/HD Collection, but there are tons of other ones that still look phenomenal
This game had a few issues. The massive content drought was probably the final nail in the coffin for this game. RIP the ‘smash bros killer’. Ironic isn’t it? I mean, this game returns next year but I don’t think interest will soar the way it was during launch season. For a live service game with battle passes and cosmetics, you’d think the updates would have stayed consistent. Smash Ultimate wasn’t even live service, yet it had supported dlc waves and spirit board updates up until 3 years after its release date! Multiversus had quite a bit of potential too.
Such a stupid idea. As if there wasn’t enough games that wanted you to blow your money further with a battle pass. Games need to move on from this at some point, it’s been the norm for far too many years now. At this point, I’d prefer drip fed free dlc
