    Damn, Everspace has been in my "must get around to playing that soon" pile for ages. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

    Thronebreaker, nice, looks good.

    I'll admit to having absolutely no interest in Kingdom Hearts at all.

    No Man's Sky is pretty good, but not incredible. An awful lot of inventory fiddling, something that I normally detest. Still though, explore a massive sci-fi universe, there's enough there to occupy me for a while.

    I played a couple of hours of III - I've no idea what the appeal is


    Looking forward to giving No Mans Sky a go

    Yes, I was tempted to get it a few times, I would have been really pissed off with myself if I bought both this and No Man's Sky, and then have the two arrive on Game Pass before I properly start either. No Man's Sky still hurts.

    No Man's Sky is going cross platform to coincide with the game pass release. I hope that includes cross save. I get great use switching between console and pc these days.

    I loved Subnautica, I can see myself losing many hours in this too.

    Does that mean my save on steam will carry over or is it only cross play between Windows/xbox store and console?

    Cross play across all platforms. But I dont know if cross play inherently includes cross save?

    :D When I built my gaming pc in 2014, I was partly justifying it on need to have No Mans Sky. I never bought it after the deluge of negative press.

    I will download on Xbox now, to give it a go!

    I paid less than €30 for it, and I'm determined to get €30 worth of time out of it. Not €30 worth of enjoyment anyway....

    NMS is what you make of it. It's one of the biggest (and probably emptiest) sandboxes out there, which has evolved into a nearly completely different game over time. It's a relaxing game, not an action game. I thoroughly enjoyed the 60+ hours I put into the launch title, and I went back to it a while ago and I nearly had to learn all over again. Then they released the VR update for free which change the experience yet again. And I've no doubt there's a PS5/XSX version to come, and going by HG's last updates, it will be free too. I do play solo in everything though, so if it's a MP experience you're looking for, I'm not sure how that evolved.

    Yeah, all I'll say is when you're going to warp, make sure you're full up on fuel so you can feck off from a planet if it's too stormy or barren looking.

    I just paid 13 quid for a month of GPU as my last bulk upgrade just expired. So if I buy a year of Xbox Live Gold I can still upgrade for a euro a month on what’s on the account?

    No, that offer is only available if you haven't had GPU before. If you wait on your current sub to expire you can get a year of Gold and convert it by paying full price for a month of GPU.

    Interesting. Looks like you can get the offer again.
    So, let sub expire; get gold; update to gpu for i euro.

    Just double checking as my brothers game pass as expired that you still stage a few years live and upgrade it using the €1 offer? Recent posts seem to suggest this is still the case.
