A Plague Tale: Requiem at the time of my playing it was 30 FPS and it is my personal GOTY. I have many concerns about Starfield, but framerate is not one of them.

Just bought the original Alan Wake for like 4.99 and have seriously enjoyed playing it. Then started Quantum Break and Control for the first time. Control has become one of my all time favorites. Remedy is incredibly original with their games. Cannot wait to play Alan Wake 2

I am currently playing Diablo 4, Control Ultimate Edition, and Cyberpunk. I just finished a Plague Tale Requiem, and Bramble: The Mountain King, and Planet of Lana. I am randomly playing through a ton of Gamepass games, and I can't wait for Starfield, Alan Wake 2, Avowed, Hellblade 2, Jusant, and Fable. Two massive games, Starfield and Forza are coming out this year (and AC Mirage finally!). I cannot fathom how anyone can complain about the state of games right now. I thought the showcase was awesome, and am extremely excited about what is ahead for Xbox.

I know this is probably a dumb question, but is there a reason why people would pre install a game 3 months in advance?

@GamingFan4Lyf don't tell people to grow up. People are allowed to have opinions. This isn't IGN. This game genuinely does not look good to me. It looks bland, boring, and very repetitive. Yes, people wanted more substance than just another side scroller. I have no problem with Ubisoft. I like most of their stuff, just not this.

Nope. I have to agree. Thought it looked terrible. And the music choice was horrendous.

@Spider-Kev I agree with all you said, except that SOM was not even close to lacking or boring.

The state of LOTR games right now is embarrassing. The trilogy games of the PS2 era, Shadow of Mordor, and Lego Lord of the Rings, were all absolutely fantastic....what happened?!

Any updates on a physical release of this game?

I'll give Dordogne and Amnesia a shot. Thankfully Diablo comes out in June as well.

Hogwarts Legacy, A Plague Tale:Requiem, Bramble:The Mountain King

Looks amazing! And if it wasn't a Souls like game, I would definitely play it!

@InterceptorAlpha Even at 30FPS, this was an incredible game

Lol! I just finished this game last week. Guess Ill have to play again with the 60FPS. I have Gamepass, but bought the physical discs for both games. They are absolutely amazing games! I think I took like 200 screenshots of Requiem lol.

@HarmanSmith Thanks!

@HarmanSmith Just saw that the original is on sale for like $4 but the remastered is still $29. Should I wait to get the remaster or just go for the original? Thanks for the info!

@HarmanSmith Ive never played the first Alan Wake. Is it still worth playing today?

I finished it and to me, it is absolutely the best looking game i've played on Series X, but it was a chore to get through. They should have dropped 70% of the puzzles, and dropped the "crispy critters" catchphrase. The ending seemed abrupt. I enjoyed the game enough to finish it, but I don't have any desire to play the DLC.

It looks fun and different, with a great art style. Between Ravenlok and Planet of Lana, I am pleased with this months Gamepass selection. Redfall is not the worst game I have played, but it is definitely mediocre.

Why is The Last Case of Benedict Fox not even showing up at all on Gamepass or even in the store? Even with time zone differences, shouldn't you at least be able to see it somewhere?

Sweet! I was seriously hoping this would come to Xbox! Love the Euro centric folk aspects of this!

I've been playing for about 4 1/2 hours. Took me 30 minutes to join. Just some funky glitches, but nothing major. Love it so far. Gameplay and graphics are fantastic.

The first game is what got me back into gaming. That and A Plague Tale. Both are ridiculously good games. Hellblade was the first game to keep me on edge the whole time I was playing.

@AlwaysPlaying the Gunk doesn't get enough love! Super fun game!

I own the physical copy, and none of the DLC's, so $6 to upgrade to the Spacers edition is a steal! Looking forward to this!

Well, I just started playing it today. It's slightly buggy (but hey its first day), but I think its really fun. Harkens back to early 2000s first person shooters. Gorgeous visuals, over the top characters, and an interesting world. I don't know what people want from games these days, as it seems no one is satisfied with anything, but as of now, I give it an 8.5, and I didn't think it would be more than a 7 originally.

People on here trusting an IGN score......lol

For me its A Plague Tale: Requiem and Hogwarts Legacy. At this point, even if its a total masterpiece, Starfield does not deserve the win.

Lol! I don't know what half those words mean, so I just hope the weird washed out haze look the game has, is fixed or gets fixed.

Just started playing today and all I can say is that I am unbelievably impressed. I have spent most of my time just looking around. The detail that went into this game is ridiculously impressive. So far I have found the wand combat to be way better than what I thought it was going to be. Everything is smooth and glorious. This has far surpassed my expectations.

@FatNugly If you like fantasy rpg's, you would probably like Hogwarts Legacy. It is set in the 1800's so it won't have anything to do with Harry Potter. But if you don't like the Harry Potter universe, chances are you probably won't enjoy it near as much as what fans would.

@BBB right?! I thought I was reading the wrong article lol.

Bought my first Xbox a year ago. Been a PS guy my whole life and now I am a very satisfied convert. I love everything about my Xbox, with an exception of the absolutely horrible dashboard design. So ugly. And I agree with everyone else, what's the point of cool dynamic backgrounds if you can't see them.

I love the Dead Space series, and cannot wait to play this remake, but my poorness cannot justify $70 for a 15 hour game, so I'll wait for that inevitable price drop, but I am super amped to see the great reviews!

I mean, none are that appealing to me. Redfall looks alright.

Between Replaced, Atomic Heart, The Last Case of Benedict Fox, Stalker, Redfall, Starfield, Warhammer, non Gamepass game Hogwarts Legacy, and my wife having a baby in July, this is going to be a very very busy year for me.

I know I am in the minority here, but I am sick of "Soulsborne" games. I just want to enjoy games without having to want to throw my controller at the screen.

Sweet tunafish, can we at least get just a snippit of actual gameplay

I have never played Red Dead Redemption 2, so here's hoping that goes on sale.
