I checked if the full add-on bundle would grant me early access and when I saw it did, I immediately bought it. Like Forza Horizon 4, I just know I will spend a ton of time in the game and I know it will be well worth the money. And yeah, it is a blast!

Did have some severe connection issues on Saturday though, including one where I lost quite a bit of progress. So when I came back, I had to buy a house again, lost a couple of cars and had to unlock a festival site again. Does anyone else experience this?

@antstephenson Yes please! A Blur-like power-up addition would make a fantastic second expansion!

Amazing review, thank you. I haven't played it myself yet (of course), but it does write about some of the fears I have with FH5, after spending tons of hours into the fourth game.

Love to see you so enthousiastic about the game after finishing it, even with these previous flaws. Will really have to start it sometime soon.

Amazing. I would imagine myself spending some time with Football Manager...

... but not in a month when It Takes Two and Forza Horizon 5 launch. Awesome!

I have a big tv now, but can already see the text is too small and will cause a headache.

Ok, let's give this a try then. Could be as much as a surprise as Naruto Boy! was.

Backbone looks pretty neat, and The Forgotten City is a no-brainer. Very interested to try it out.

Into the Pit comes at a moment I craved for some high-intensity FPS - let's see if it's more my cup of tea than Doom, which I somehow got bored of after an hour.

So Ring of Pain is a card-based turn-based RPG? Or even a card game? Meh, I'll skip these two.

No matter, however, still enjoying Back 4 Blood and the hilarious Procession to Cavalry.

Following PETA's logic, I should never enter a vehicle anymore after playing some Forza Horizon...

Definitely need to gather some friends for Back 4 Blood. Will definitely try The Procession to Calvary as well - I love me some weird Game Pass surprises.

That is a good question - can it be played in coop? Otherwise, it's just another repetition of the same thing UbiSoft has done for years, in first person with Far Cry, and in third-person with Assassin's Creed. The copy-paste in this formula is pathetic.

I'm not very hopeful at all... I mean very interested to see how this turns out!

Why don't reviews point out the TERRIBLE performance on Xbox One? It stutters, janks, glitches.

But mostly, the way your missions build up is a bit meh to me, right from the start. 'Gather your own spaceship parts!' 'You won't get a part before you do this mission!'

Wow, quite a few games I put a few hours in disappearing this month. Nights in the Woods, Ikenfell, Forza Motorsport 7, Drake Hollow and especially Hotshot Racing. Loved that last little arcade racing gem.

All this time, I haven't seen a concentrated racing track. Hope they didn't overlook those in their scope of bringing a wide world.

Honestly, I'm a bit scared FH5 will be a bit style over substance.

Wow, Bulbasaur really has grown in Mulaka, hasn't he?

Expected scores likes these (okay, well, not 10/10's, but really high scores still) the first moment I saw footage of this. Everything about is just feels and looks clever and outstanding.

Why is every Spencer fart an article on this site?

WOW.

Bigger isn't always better, to say the least, but I'm really interested now...

Read a lot of reviews that I would like this even although I don't like roguelikes.

It plays fantastic.

But I still don't like roguelikes.

So when I'm tired of the same candy-colored art style already seen in that game with the hole and two pets attached (forgot both titles haha, blame Game Pass!), this has absolutely nothing going for it. :'-)

I've jumped on this game a day after these problems, and wow, I'm enjoying it.

I know it can have a different effect on basically any headphone, but how does 'Superhearing' increase the localisation of sound effects like footsteps and gunshots? Does it create a bigger soundstage? Does it emphasize higher tones? Is the sound still doable when higher tones are emphasized - or does it easily oversteer like with many cheap headphones (including the ones of Turtle Beach itself), creating harsh, painfully bright sounds?

I think you haven't described the best feature of this controller: being able to change the volume of the game sound and chat sound independently from each other, straight from the controller.

After all those reviews stating this is the roguelike for people who hate roguelikes... IT HAD BETTER BE TRUE.

Hades may not be my cup of tea, but with so much hype, I can't skip it right? Also want to play Art of Rally.

It's not Tetris Connected, but had a few nice sessions with Lumines again already.

• Lumines! Don't think I already had this version, so great to dive into again
• Twelve Minutes
• Psychonauts 2
• Hades
• Art of Rally

And willing to try Curse of the Dead Gods too, looks pretty good actually. Nice month!

@John117 Not true, as Recompile is Series only.

The original. By a landslide. All those weekends of 8-player local LAN parties. Unforgettable. Also, the singleplayer campaign was the most intense as well.

• Psychonauts 2
• Twelve Minutes (another promising story driven game so soon after Last Stop!)
• Hades

Definitely have my interest. @PureXbox, in list like these, it's convenient to mention of a game is Xbox One compatible still.

The Artful Escape looks great!

Enjoyed completing the first two worlds of Omno. Didn't even get around to playing Last Stop beyond the first three chapters, but definitely want to. Same goes for The Ascent. And Raji.

Great summer line-up!

Great you're giving this some attention. Last Stop is also worth checking out - not much gameplay perhaps, but a gripping storyline!

Just going to say it: these games didn't age well. Oof.

Looks great - like the stylish Cartoon Network-look on this one.

Nice list, will definitely try out

• Omno
• The Ascent
• Last Stop
• Cris Tales

Would I have tried any of those games without Game Pass? Probably not!

Waaaaaat! Didn't see this comming!

Not much Zelda going on here really, but wow, this looks good.

So looking forward to this after having collected over 500 cars in FH4...

Nice, will surely try this out.

Looking forward to the Halo Infinite singleplayer/ online coop campaign. There will be one, right? Less so towards the online multiplayer part.

Forza Horizon 5 may be the game I'll play the longest... but let's not underestimate Back 4 Blood here with a couple of friends...

Tunic. Played it just before this weekend, but it's too alpha to make a good first impression. Especially the lack of a gripping musical score and sound effects, left me unimpressed.

Strong Gameboy Advance-shovelware vibe here.

This looks great.

That's quite nice, and may in fact be a good way to motivate players to download DLC themselves too.

Hmm, will try Tunic.

Seems nice. Will definitely try it out!

Atomic Heart looks great, Forza Horizon 5 looks awesome - and it seems that Game Pass will be filled with tons of fun coop games. I need to get more friends to get an Xbox.
