I still have to play both Psychonauts games. I've bought the first one ages ago. This one sounds intriguing too. There's just too many games and so little time!
I really enjoy the combat and how using all jobs get you permanent upgrades. I put my in-game playlist and it's time to grind. Which ends up being surprisingly fun.
I've been playing Wildermyth, which is amazing. Recommend for anyone who likes creating their own characters, SRPG/kinda XCOM 2-style, choices, board games and random events. Really surprised with that one.
Also, Raidou Remastered. A really good one. I feel like they made the enemies have too much HP, but the QoL improvements are really good.
And Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Honestly, I've got all the Achievements, finished it in Legend and did the DLC dungeon, but after Expedition 33 I really wanted a turn-based RPG I enjoy and went back to get all the characters and their jobs to LV99.
I wish this would be true for smaller games, mainly weird japanese ones that aren't exclusive for any console but just skip Xbox.
I don't complain too much because I knew when I got my Xbox that it wasn't the place for those kind of games and the other benefits really outweight the cons (at least for me).
I guess I'll just grab a Switch 1 someday to play the ones I missed.
I thought it was alright, but I know I'm in the minority here.
Everyone should also remember that the games aren't put on GP for free.
Sandfall should have received money from Microsoft and no one forced them to accept.
Question is, would those hypothetical sales be more or less money than the amount they received from MS in the first place?
It was a chore exploring, honestly. The combat was fun even though it doesn't really change that much throughout. Reminded me of Shadow Hearts back on the PS2 and those Paper Mario games. I feel like some enemies were unfair, like that boss that attacks like 20 times in a row. Took me a few turns to realize it was gonna attack one more time than last. 🤣
No, I said it's not a good game to use as metric if you wanna know if Xbox gamers are interested in Sony's first party titles which are mainly single player.
Honestly, whatever it is, I'll be looking with interest but with no hurry to update. We'll see. I'm not going back to Playstation which is always like double the price (on consoles AND games) here, and the less said about Nintendo, the better.
I always thought it tried to capture those things that were scary when we were kids. But I'm talking out of my butt because at most I watched some trailers.

Wasn't expecting Robocop on Game Pass. Almost bought it a few times and never did.

Re: Shadow Labyrinth Brings Its Pac-Man Metroidvania To Xbox Next Week
This one looks super interesting on premise alone.
Probably not a Day 1 for me, but really curious.

Re: Talking Point: After Almost Two Years, How Do You Feel About Xbox's Starfield In 2025?
I subbed to GP specifically to play it... And then asked for a refund in a day or two.
Last Bethesda game I enjoyed was Oblivion or Fallout 3 whichever of those was the more "new" one.
Re: 'Hotel Barcelona' Is A Bonkers Horror Game Led By Two Famous Japanese Creators
I really... Well, I'm not sure "like" is the right word. But I do enjoy these two guys' works.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In July 2025
@FarmDog08
It was still a good experience. It wasn't a bad game by any means.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In July 2025
@FarmDog08
Already finished it. I thought it was alright. Solid 6 maybe 7 out of 10.
Music was an easy 10/10 though.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Backwards Compatible Xbox Game?
@VeganH
Man, I really wish Guardian Heroes was on my region.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Backwards Compatible Xbox Game?
Probably Mass Effect 2 even if there's the Legendary Edition.
Jade Empire is great too.

Re: Is Xbox Game Pass Unsustainable? Arkane Founder Sparks Huge Debate On Social Media
I think games like Expedition 33 showed you can make a successful game that is a Day 1 on GP and still sells really well.
For Microsoft itself, I think they would have axed it already if it wasn't.

Re: Poll: Helldivers 2 Isn't On Xbox Game Pass, So Will You Be Buying It?
As I said before that mentality of "Xbox players should show they care" it's really silly.
Why would I need to buy a game I'm not interested in and never wanted in the first place?
There's a lot of better games in which to spend my money.

Finished Expedition 33 last week (it was OK), so now I'm playing Raidou Remastered which I'm already enjoying a lot more.

Re: Helldivers 2 Developer Shuts Down Xbox Game Pass Rumour
@Kaloudz
I'd say it's not a good choice. It's not like I'm interested in Sony's first party games, but an online one is something I would never spend money on.

Yes, that's the one I know.

I'd like to see a list of all the games that have been "killed" but I didn't find it.
Re: PlayStation Is Publishing Helldivers 2 On Xbox, Signalling A Shift In Strategy From Sony
I've seen a lot of $ony fanboys saying "hope Xbox players buy this one if they want more".
Yeah, but I don't care about this one though.
Re: PlayStation Is Publishing Helldivers 2 On Xbox, Signalling A Shift In Strategy From Sony
Honestly there isn't a single Sony game that I want, so this doesn't affect me at all. But it's good news for sure.

Two games that we have no idea if were going to be amazing or not. But I do get the point. And yeah, it sucks.

I've found it alright to be honest. Not bad by any means but definitely didn't live up to the hype (for me).
The music was fantastic though.
I want to try LN too but I need to play the first one.
