Xbox Game Pass

Looks like it could be the original Life is Strange - the full season is available on Game Pass now.

Great game if you haven't played it yet. Completely thought it wasn't going to be my cup of tea, but got totally hooked - went out and bought Before the Storm instantly after finishing it and will get Life is Strange 2 (when the season is complete - I can't be waiting from episode to episode!)

Grand... Life is Strange 2 (Episode 1) is now in Game Pass, with the rest of the episodes coming soon - they're just not released yet.

Before the Storm is also there, too. (Don't know if the Bonus episode is included, though, as I already owned that)

Farming Sim for me...

I finished Mutant: year zero today. A bit sad now, as I really liked it.

They better hurry up with second one!

Did anyone played below properly? I only gave it a wee go, but it is very confusing. I have no idea what I am doing or where am I going.

No, I started it and was enjoying it but it kinda got confusing and it felt like they over complicated some aspects of the game. I haven't gone back to it since. For an Indie game, it is massive aswell.

How many hours to complete? Its a great game but with so much to play on games pass etc I have to try prioritise games based on length.

I dont know to be honest. Its one of those games that does not show you played time in achievement and progress section.
Thing is, I played it on hard, but no ironman mode. It was not too lengthy game thats for sire as even I was able to finish it. Hard difficulty definitely increased my time. Was worth it though. Normal difficulty would strip a lot of stuff that makes this genre so good.

ZiabR · 07-01-2019 03:55PM

How Long To Beat states about 13 hours for the main story with 16 hours for main story plus extras. I must finish it!

Very much depends on what you have and haven't played to date and what games you are in to.

For example, have you played all the Halo and Gears games?

As said, it depends on what you like.

Had a quick look there, and I'd recommend:

Forza Horizon 4
PUBG
Ori and the blind forest
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Doom
Hitman

No particular order there, and they're all different genres as well.

Hitman 2? Don't think that's available

It's not, sorry, it's just Hitman.

Had been looking at 2 recently, must have had it on the brain.

You should still be able to get the legacy pack and play it in 2 though afaik.

Cheers, FH4 is definitely going on this weekend. Been hearing great things about it.
Ori and the blind forest is another on my list.
Haven't played PUBG. I need a keyboard and mouse to be in any way good at 'competitive' fps.

Any good online co-ops?

Gears of War co-op can be good fun.

d31b0y · 11-01-2019 10:13AM

Sorry - started listing the co-ops we'd played already. Must have deleted it.
Gears 4
Far Cry 5
Forza
Fifa

Something a little different might be good.
Sniper Elite 4 maybe. Shooting testicles is always a bit of craic.
Haven't played a fighting game in yonks so ultimate MVC is going to get a run out.
What's Ark: Survival Evolved like these days? Big player base? Is it PvP heavy?

Any chance of A Way Out coming to game pass, do you think?

I'm really looking forward to spintires too, and hellblade! Ahh so many games :pac:
Any indies that are must plays?

A Way Out is more likely to turn up on EA Access.

Not sure if they're "must plays", but I enjoyed these for what they are:

Oxenfree
The Swapper
Shadow Complex Remastered
Spelunky

Other notable games include:

Sunset Overdrive (few years old, but still one of the best exclusives on the Xbox. Make sure to keep playing until you unlock more movement options, Double Jump or Airdash, can't remember. The game really opens up and flows once you get it.)

Rocket League (Incredible multiplayer fun, with an incredible simple premise)

Quantum Break (A mostly unique game that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Worth playing, in my opinion. Don't try to use cover like you would in other games, you'll die pretty quick, movement is life)

Stone Deaf 4evr · 11-01-2019 01:37PM

Thomas Was Alone is definitely worth a look - very funny too.

11-01-2019 08:15PM

I'm enjoying

FH4
Ashen
Mutant Year Zero
PES19

ZiabR · 14-01-2019 11:33AM

Playing most of these myself.

Mutant is very good, can be hard in spots. Ashen plays great and I like the kind of cell shading graphics.

And FH4 is just beautiful.

Buttros · 16-01-2019 03:54PM

Coming soon.

We Happy Few(17th)
The Lego Movie Videogame (17th)
Shadow of Mordor (24th)
Saints Row : The Third (24th)

We happy few looks interesting. Has anyone played it? Its a play anywhere title too so can play on my PC

I played it when there was a demo of it in the Games Preview section.
Not that bad, a bit weird, for some reason it reminded me of A Clockwork Orange, happy to see it in Game Pass, will be able to give it another go now

super_furry · 16-01-2019 04:38PM

Glad to see We Happy Few there. Been intrigued by it but not to the extent of wanting to buy it.

CatInABox · 16-01-2019 04:56PM

Shadow of Mordor is great, a lovely sense of progression, at least until you know which powers are the best to take. I played it again recently, and knowing the best ones to take meant I could walk most of it.

Of course, at least until you decide to take on one of the weaker chieftains, and then 3 or 4 rock up at the same time....

erkifino · 26-01-2019 03:49PM

This aspect of Xbox is rock solid. I could have used it when the 360 came out. I've 100 titles which I bought cheap and fooled myself into thinking.I'd get around to playing them.

With games pass I've downloaded a few games which I was interested in and thankfully I didn't waste money 'picking them up cheap'.

There have been games I've bought on sale digitally which have ended up on there which has lead me to just waiting because it looks like every game will either be on gold or here at some stage.

A few exceptions being was access titles and rockstar titles. I don't do CoD.

Overall a great purchase.
