There’s Hollow Knight which is a good fan favorite. There’s also Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth- and that game is ridiculously good but also not too long of a game, you could finish it 7 or 8 hours but I still highly recommend it. Both of them are on Game Pass.
It’s not on Game Pass but it’s Xbox BC with the 360 version. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is something I would definitely look into as well if you haven’t played it yet. It’s considered one of the best metroidvanias period.
It was Among Us with my brother and his two sons just now.
The big one will be Halo Infinite campaign. I’ve only played the prologue at release and was still busy with other games. Probably going to switch it up with Psychonauts 2.
Record of Lodoss War was one of my great surprises from 2021 end. Didn’t finished yet but I played enough to recommend. I want to play Touhou Luna Nights as well because of this game.
Guacamelee 2 isn’t good, you can skip this IMO. The Castlevania Advanced Collection and Mega Man ZXs are also available on Xbox.
And if you want a very good twist on metroidvanias, take a look at Yoku’s Island Express. I don’t like pinball, but this game is very good.
This year is the year I will get around to completing Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I will also play new vegas again, like every year.
I’m going to stay away from multiplayer games this year aside from some halo here and there, this year is the year of completing the backlog and playing through some incredible games I’ve never gotten around to. Maybe I will do a Bioshock trilogy playthrough because I’ve never really played those games. I’ll also hop onto Fallout 76 for The Pitt expansion.
The evil within 2 because I loved the first game and haven’t gotten around to it’s sequel. Dishonored Death of the Outsider, and maybe Oblivion because people keep calling it great.
In terms of Xbox Game Studios titles I’m going to finish up Psychonauts 2, probably going to not touch Forza Horizon 5 much because it’s one of those titles that I can throw too many hours into. Maybe finish my Fable 2 play through if I get inspired to from a new Fable trailer. Pillars of Eternity is something I might be able to jump back into but I’ll need a cheat engine, I just don’t do good in cRPG combat.
I’m probably gonna skip Elden ring at launch, not a big from software fan. Their games are an awesome value because it’s got the perfect difficulty, but you need to sink a ton of time into those games.
2022, the year of the backlog and wait for Starfield.
Finally going to start Sekiro. I’m an avid From Software fan. Been on my list for a long time just never got around to it. Can’t go into Elden Ring without beating this.
I played Halo Infinite MP after midnight so I guess that was my first
As for the first “new” game, I’m diving in deep into the backlog for the XboxEra Backlog Challenge so it will be something older but good! I have not decided yet, we’ll see tonight.
Some of those older Games with Gold titles, lol maybe I might play through that Indiana Jones original Xbox game they gave out a few months ago. That way I can see how it compares to the Machine Games Indy title.
Yessirrrrrr, just a tip, don’t treat it like a souls game. Unlearn those habits of dodging and running away from combat because attacks track you wherever you go. Instead focus on staying on the enemy and deflecting. Essentially becomes a rhythm game after a while. Either way, Genichiro will in one way or the other beat this into you. Good luck!
Funny thing is, I got that achievement just yesterday, yet I didn’t even use a Ravager. My teammate was the one who got the kill with it. I honestly have no idea what happened there, but I’m not complaining.
of 2022 was “Sick Burn”.
