Yet another Battle Royale to toss on the growing pile that I will never play. The market's saturated with perfectly adequate alternatives, most of which are free - this is a fool's endeavour.
I loved Myst, and its forgotten sequel, Riven. I'd love to also see some Zork remakes. Return to Zork was fantastic, although the old school FMV would probably look awful now 🤣
Is anyone having trouble accessing the Morrowind DLC with the GamePass Ultimate version? It's listed in my installed addons, but the game just directs me to the store when I try to access it 🙄
@Vepra I need to return to it but I'm chipping away at the entirety of GamePass since I jumped over from Sony for the Series S. A decision I definitely do not regret!
I use Tamriel for similar reasons. I buried myself in ESO for over 2000 hours and, frankly, regret nothing - other than missing that super rare event mount that one time 🤣
My wife's going to be elated. I'm ever-so-slightly jealous, given she takes the PC while I man the console - this looks like it could be a nice bit of variation from Civ VI.
@Bartig I started Last Stop yesterday and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's one of the only times I've seen a game show "real" London without all the glitz added by other games set there.
Persona 5 was a JRPG masterclass. It was leagues ahead of any rival in my opinion. It, and Ghost of Tsushima, are the only games I miss since I switched to Xbox this gen.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Plan To Use Xbox Cloud Gaming On Console?
I'll continue to download games up to around 60Gb, but anything bigger I'll be streaming to save space. Looking at you, GoW, Red Dead, ESO et al.

Re: Phil Spencer Is Lost For Words About Lost Words On Xbox Game Pass
This one got me right in the feels. Excellent game that deserves a bigger audience.
This, and The Artful Escape both blew me away recently.
Re: How To Pre-Install Marvel's Avengers With Xbox Game Pass
I played it on PS4 a while back, and the campaign was much, much better than I'd been led to believe. In 60fps it'll be worth a revisit for me.
The endgame was awful back then, but there've been loads of free content drops since - including Wakanda, which I'm 100% going to play tomorrow!
Re: Four More Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 23)
Lost Words is beautiful so far. And Subnautica's sequel is exactly what I wanted it to be. Loving this batch of additions.
Re: Roundup: Here’s What The Critics Are Saying About Sable On Xbox Game Pass
Its frame rate's dire on my Series S. I'm waiting for the patch. It's intriguing, but the stuttering makes the whole thing feel a bit janky.
Re: Watch Out Parents, Peppa Pig Is Making Her Xbox Debut This October
My daughter's going to love this.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For September 2021
Not so good for me this month. Chaosbane interests me, but I grudge the Series X updates being paywalled by the Slayer edition.
If the PS+ rumours are true they definitely have the better month, with Hitman 2 and Predator Hunting Grounds especially.
Re: Myst Is Available Today With Game Pass, 'Reimagined' For Xbox

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 14-15)
Pathfinder Kingmaker, Dirt 5 and Elder Scrolls Online this time around for me!

Re: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Is Now Optimised For Xbox Series X, Series S
I tried this again last night - what a difference the 60fps performance mode makes. It runs beautifully.
That said, I wasn't overly impressed by the "enriched" mode with raytracing - it felt a bit blurry and kinda like a hangover.
Re: These Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (August 9-13)
Hades, Dirt 2.0 and Art of Rally. The whole list is awesome, as being Scottish I'm into rally racing by default 🤣
Re: Reminder: GTA V Is Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (August 8)
TakeTwo begin their descent into obscurity. Standing in the face of progress for quick financial gain never plays out how the greedy hope.
Re: Video: New Guardians Of The Galaxy Cinematic Showcases Player Choices
Stoked for this. I love the Guardians, and single player focused works for me every time.
Re: Raji: An Ancient Epic Is Getting A Lot Of Love On Xbox Game Pass
@Bartig I started Last Stop yesterday and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's one of the only times I've seen a game show "real" London without all the glitz added by other games set there.
Re: Everything You Need To Know About Microsoft Flight Simulator On Xbox Game Pass
4pm feels so far away.
Re: After Just A Few Months, GTA V Is Leaving Xbox Game Pass Again
No major loss. I'd rather see newer content on GP than Rockstar's tired old cash-farmers.
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite OG Xbox Title On Game Pass?
This list may as well have been Morrowind, Morrowind, Morrowind or Morrowind for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 17th)
I'm still enjoying Outriders at the moment, interspersed with Yakuza 7 and WRC9.
