Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

It really is very good indeed. Played it last Thursday with a friend and the level design and variety especially is very good. I had not realised the levels are randomised, I thought it was only some enemies. I like this approach a lot.

Guys please try Rollerdrome. This is Tony Hawk but you look cooler and shoot people in beautiful stylized cartoony visuals similar to Hi-Fi Rush’s.

It’s my next game after I complete Lego skywalker saga. The sheer collectathon that Lego is is on another level.

I’ve technically bought 2 copies of lego Skywalker now and still need to play it. Got to the palace on naboo and then got sidetracked with other games…

I thought the visuals are more like Sable actually…

Yeah, maybe, that’s just the similar style that came to mind :sweat_smile:

Absolutely love Chained Echoes a bit over 5 hours in. It evokes all the best nostalgia feelings about SNES RPGs but it notably more modern when it comes to comfort functions like save spots, movement speed or post-battle auto healing. It’s quite strategic, too.

It’s one of the best RPGs ever imo. It’s a damn shame it didn’t get any VGAs recognition because game was legit one of the best I’ve played since Persona 5

Wasn’t aware it’s Play Anywhere.

I think basically anything that hits Game Pass is, though maybe there are some exceptions.

I think they put it play anywhere once it hit gamepass.

As most games that have been on Xbox prior to the gamepass deal seem to be doing this a lot lately.

My guess is it’s a ask from Microsoft as part of the gamepass deal

Since Persona 5?

Chained Echoes is much better than Persona 5.

It’s not Play Anywhere as in Buy-Once-Play-Xbox-and-PC. It’s added to both Gamepass Console and Gamepass PC and has cross-features, but it doesn’t make it Play Anywhere, sadly.

Also, MS likes to put both versions into GP when it’s available on both platforms. There was also a bug where having a Play Anywhere game in one sub worked on other platform.

It’s great to see that so many people love Chained Echoes. It’s fantastic and everyone who likes JRPGs should play it.

Crazy that only 1 person made this game.

I hear ya, I was implying more that I haven’t felt that great about an RPG since P5.

P5 over Nier Automata ?

Edit: scratch that. Was looking at the JP release date of P5.

I’m saving for the 50xx series and to upgrade the entire rig next year. Can you believe I dont even have an SSD? :cold_face:

It’s odd as it isn’t saying play anywhere but ever feature they mention from cross save, cross purchase, cross play are basically what play anywhere is

Indeed, I double checked and it shows up as owned on PC. Maybe Play Anywhere tag isn’t added automatically in the store? I’ve checked the UWP games I worked on and they’re marked as Play Anywhere.
