I’m on a bit of a run with smaller titles on Game Pass at the moment. Recently played through The Gunk & Far Changing Tides.

Two very good games which were a nice change of pace. Each had character, lovely visual style, some great animation work & were more concerned with atmosphere, rather than elaborate combat systems (though The Gunk did have a little bit of that). Had a good time with both.

Now I’ve become obsessed with something else,

This is a game which recreates part of the experience of moving into a new place, when you have a look around your new space, then unpack your boxes & put all your stuff away. Seriously, that’s it & my word is it strangely satisfying :laughing: I’m spending ages putting things in the perfect place. It’s relaxing & feels genuinely rewarding when it all clicks together.

Game Pass obviously is impressive when you consider the big first-party AAA stuff that launches day & date, but I’ve really enjoyed a lot of the smaller titles which builds out the library. I’ve discovered quite a few smaller gems through the service now (Omno was another notable one last year) & I find a lot of value in them.

I recently finished The Gunk as well and absolutely loved it. Probably the game I enjoyed most from the last couple of years. Although it did commit the sin of the injured character level that I despise. At least it wasn’t too annoying.

No idea what you mean with that? :slight_smile:

Light spoiler if you haven’t played The Gunk, but I’m pretty sure it’s this,

There’s a part of the game when the player character is injured & can only move slowly for a short time afterwards.

No need to laugh at me please just answer my question. How long till they drop the new games ?

What about fifa 22? Will we see the full version?

If any of those three games it would the first Dying Light, ER or DL2…zero chance.

It’s not even guaranteed we’re getting another big AAA game this month, relatively newish like Guardians or old like a Mafia DE for example. In my opinion ideal would be at least every month one AAA title whether old or new(ish).

But if not AAA in the second half this month …it’s still a damn good one with Guardians.

Not laughing at you friend. Just laughing at the idea those games you suggested could be on GamePass this soon. Honestly thought you were kidding.

Microsoft wants a billion subs. They aren’t going to do this by having old third parties and first parties only hit Q4 every year.

I can see them adding atleast 1 third party AAA brand new game every month minimum

I think you’re way off base. But glad you’re so positive. Maybe your vibes will result in the result you seek.

The goal is clearly 50+ studios so every month a first party release on GP every year, and when they can’t meet that due to delays etc a third party can hit day 1.

Heres another prediction. Stranger of Paradise hits day 1 GP this Friday.
