I need Game Pass recommendations of great third party games. I already have Cocoon and Lies of P in the backlog. What else should I add?

So basically, a step too far, but the rest is okay? Well, okay then.

If Starfield hadnāt entered the conversation, PoL would be my Game of the Year. Itās fantastic. Great controls, art, story, and it even manages to pack an emotional punch in a couple of places. The latter is altogether too rare in gaming, and that feat alone makes it deserving of praise.
If you like stealth and/or sniping, I highly recommend Sniper Elite 5. For my money itās the best entry in an underappreciated franchise.

I never thought Iād see a game like this overtake Counter Strike. I was kind of joking before about MS acquiring them but now Iām sure they are actively talking about it.
At least about making deals sure, I could see if there is some sort of currency in the game or some sort of items they could give, having it bundled in with the Series S like theyāve done with fortnight and maybe rocket league. Also hopefully giving priority support on patches

Not that surprising because the player base is fed up with CS2. Game is not in a good state and you have a lot of annoying bugs, glitches and cheaters because Valve think they are a indie company while making 1 billion dollars in CS MTX.

They could help finishing, expanding and supporting the game, I donāt think PocketPair has the necessary technical and human resources for a game this big. If they can even lock-down the game from other consoles, the better, this is also a pc/console game oriented, not mobile stuff like Genshin Impact, so it would be a very strong marketing point for Xbox.

This is based on absolutely nothing but speculation, but with mobile stores moving towards opening up on Apple and Android, I honestly think Nintendo will eventually establish their own with mainline games and NSO someday (just like Microsoft seems to be planning).
What is even happening today? Two big games got reviewed with astounding success and then the whole WWE changing the landscape with new deal and a former wrestler becoming a board member.
What Tuesday is this?!

Fair, I think a big chunk of the playerbase is now enjoying Valorant instead.
Did anyone play the new Lords of the Fallen? Iām thinking about quitting it, the enemy encounters are too annoying, theyāre a bitch to fight and are always in groups 
it got worse from the last two hours played, it wasnāt like that before

Itās interesting hearing all the reasons this deal fell through from Sony financials, Zee wanting too much control and Sony wanting too much control.
My guess would be the latter.
