Knockout City is good fun, played a few matches over the weekend. Fast paced rounds, easy to pick up and play but a bit of skillto it as well.

A little bare bones on content side, hopefully they have decent support and expansions lined up

If you set the console to offline mode it works doesn't it?

If you initially connect and then switch to offline the games will play but if you leave it offline and turn the xbox off when you try to play again it won't.

Anyone know is 3 years the max amount of time you can add to your Game Pass sub? Think I heard that before. Have a friend working for MS and can avail of their employee discount so thinking of stocking up.

Are you an employee or how does one get access ?

No I'm not. But employees have this friends & family thing they can share with people, so you can get employee prices up to a (fairly low) spend limit.

Subnautica- great game so far, about 10hrs in. Tried Dragon Quest Builders 2 and liked it so much from what I played I've ordered it for Switch, seems a perfect time sink for a portable system

Went back to Ark for a bit, mainly playing Apex Legends.
I did play a bit of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey which I really liked though it is only single player and I much prefer online survival games
Played Subnautica while it was in Preview and its gotten better since then

Played Subnautica a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed it but I got to a stage where I couldn't progress the story and ended up giving up.

The Outer Worlds plus the two DLC which are all free to play on Gamepass. Sychonauts is good also and on Gamepass.

Ah! I didn't know the DLC was free on gamepass. That'll do nicely!

Well unless I'm going mad and bought the season pass but afaik I never bought it.

Can't stop playing Deep Rock Galactic at the mo. Brilliant Co op game, super addictive and just oozes charm. It's even fun solo but hopping in and out of games with randoms is fine, probably the most chilled out online game I've ever played tbh.

Be warned though, you'll find yourself wanting to greet people in real life by shouting "Rock and Stone!!" at them.

Looks great, id say its a blast in Coop with a few mates.

Man-eater was added, didn't even know they were adding it, delighted as I kept thinking of buying it

Birneybau · 25-05-2021 12:09PM

FFX and Control myself. Had almost finished the latter on the brother's PS4, had played the former years ago. Also installed Psyconauts.

25-05-2021 01:33PM

Razer Kishi has arrived. Pretty impressive, mobile is now my go to for playing Minecraft Dungeons. I haven't even bothered installing it on my xbox.

Would absolutely love diablo to come to cloud.

25-05-2021 02:56PM

Dipped back into state of decay 2 last week, really like that game and today I played the first section of Nier Automata.....wow fantastic stuff. Had heard lots about it before but never played it or saw very much gameplay before.

Nier Automata is probably my favourite game last gen. Soundtrack is immense too. Tried SoD2 ages back but might give it another go as there's been a lot of updates since I last played

Your links a bit messed up. I went for the official xbox version, although I've read the cheaper non xbox.version works fine. I still opted for the xbox version mainly because I wasn't sure if the regular android version had clickable thumbsticks.

This is the one I got: https://www.razer.com/eu-en/mobile-controllers/Razer-Kishi/RZ06-02900200-R3M1

Works great on Samsung Galaxy S10+

They have the Kishi controller reduced in Argos at the moment. The standard Android one is €70 if you search for the product code 782/7932
