    I thought Fallout 76 would be on this month but I suppose they don't want to ruin the "GWG" branding.

    I generally dont mind getting stuff like that - its nice to get stuff I wouldn't normally pay money for. fingers crossed we get Jade empire / KOTOR / Crimson skies / SSX3 at a later date.

    Don't have a problem with it once it's a decent game.

    It has been X Box One X enhanced too.

    Mercenaries is arguably the best game of the lot IMO
    Correct it's also One X enhanced

    I would argue however it's a poor list overall for GWG this December

    or Ninja Gaiden! Recently played through Castlevania Lords of Shadow and it looked and played great (despite some annoying crashes here and there)

    I think Qube will be good. Like those puzzle/Portal type games.

    People complain about GwG every month but you can't expect an epic title every month.

    I think it's great value, especially when got on CD keys.

    I say this every time I see a bad games for gold list.

    I remember xbox live back in its early days one the 360 with the basic blade system no fancy netfix, music apps or sky go.

    60 euros a year for xbox live with NO free games.

    Now we can get xbox live for 38 euros a year and wait for it 48 games for free that Microsoft do not need to give to us !!!

    ITs a fantastic service even if I play 4 or 5 games from the 48 games I get a year I am happy and many others are to.

    Really? It looks like a tough game.

    It gets kinda difficult in the later stages but certainly very do-able. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has even a passing interest in platformers. TBH, the gaming press latched onto the story and how it deals with depression, but the fact of it is, the gameplay stands head and shoulders above that. I'd put it akin to Ori and the Blind forest or Guacamelee in terms of difficulty.

    Loved Ori and love platformers, so I will have to give this one a go. Cheers.

    I loved both of them, and never thought that they were too hard (that f**king tree escape in Ori aside), so I'm delighted with the month.

    Celeste is indeed topping some of the Game of the Year lists already. Delighted to get a game this good to start the year off, it'll be a nice break once I get RDR2 played through.

    Or go part though the process of purchasing and then cancel, once it lands you back at the original screen it's listed for free.

    Yeah, I couldn't understand why I already had it. It's not a game I'd ever buy, even in a massive sale, so it must have been that Games with Gold.
