Lots of interesting games. Again, I don't understand why people complain so much about Gamepass. BO6 alone is worth the money and I can't wait for Stalker 2!!! I sold my PS5 last year and when I miss some of their games, I get them on Steam. Happy times
Strong month for me on both console and PC (never played SC2). I'm curious about which games people would like to see coming to gamepass cause it looks like most are never happy. Maybe Mario or Zelda
@Darude84 wise decision. As much I would love to love it, their "less is more" approach turned me off big time. The premise is great. Execution, not so much
@Romans12 100% agree! And not spending dozens of hours looking for (useless) collectables, uninspired side quests or dying for the 1000th time.
Don't get me wrong: I love the AC & Far Cry series, and (most of) From Software games, but 6hrs of silly fun (with a few more for different endings) doesn't sound bad at all for a Friday night
@GuyinPA75 I dropped at the exact same spot, even before the first patch came out. I wasn't sure if that was something that had to be fixed or it was just me. I'm glad I'm not alone
@luke88 I played after the 60fps/bugs patch start to finish (both solo and with friends) and it's a solid 7. Nothing groundbreaking but it's fun, not much grinding, the story (and notes around) has a Netflix's Midnight Mass vibe, loot loop is satisfying and the game is mostly stable. Don't expect a brilliant AI from the enemies though. Its... passable.
@trev666 I feel your pain. It's my guilty pleasure as well. Even worse, 'cause I had a +270 LVL on the PS5 and started from the ground up on the XBOX and I don't regret it at all
@abe_hikura exactly! As an example: I love From Software however I've never seen people complaining about them using the same formula over and over (and over... Armored Core, I'm talking to you too) with a few tweaks here and there. And they have been doing this since Demon Souls. Sure, WAY more hits than miss but, they didn't even bother to change their UI. Still, I play most of their games
I tried at launch and I was sadly disappointed as I had huge expectations.
After the new update, lvl 10 and +8hrs in, I can tell it's a very different game, for the better. Overall it's very stable (although I had one crash, but didn't lose any progress), better weapon handling & combat, the world is more populated, I'm getting better loot (but less epics). 60fps is a must for combat heavy games like this one and they nailed it.
The AI isn't the brightest however they throw you tons of baddies which make things pretty hard sometimes.

Re: Review: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 (Xbox) - Swarm Tech Shines In A Superbly Brutal Co-Op Shooter
Great review! It looks like, even if not reinventing the wheel, this one is everything most of us were waiting for (and some!)

Re: Redfall's Huge New Update Is Getting Impressive Feedback So Far

I'll definitely be getting back for more.
