Venba is a very short game and very much worthy of that short time. Give it a shot before it leaves if you haven't already. Same for A Short Hike, even though it's not quite as short as Venba.
I definitely disagree with them on the first-person vs. third-person thing. I don't feel more immersed or more like I'm in someone's shoe's just because I'm playing a game in first-person. I always found that odd, especially because of the relatively clunky position of the hands and tools (usually weapons) that the characters use in FP games. VR for me is the big exception to this. Anyway, the game still looks good, it's not a dealbreaker, but I agree that it's a bit of a wasted potential. This could have been Xbox's Uncharted, completing the circle since Uncharted was heavily inspired by Indy.
After seeing what the new Xbox is shaping up to be, with a focus on big franchises to the detriment, disrespect and closure of smaller teams they themselves bought, I'm not interested in supporting Game Pass or Xbox anymore financially. So even if they do come to PS5 or Switch, I won't be bothered, I'm afraid Satya.
The fact that they would close these studios soon after the major acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the acclaim of Hi-Fi Rush in the case of Tango to focus on "high impact games" is seriously just disgusting.
Sadly we understand very well what "high impact" means...
This is why workers everywhere need more protection, 'cause clearly companies like Microsoft couldn't care less about their own employees.
I haven't been able to play any of them much yet, but Persona 5 Tactica is the one I've started and will be sticking with. Might play Remnant 2 with my partner.

Re: Xbox Has Entered An Agreement To Publish The Next Game From Toys For Bob
This is good news. Together with the ZeniMax thing, this makes it a nice day for Xbox.
