I mean Epic Launcher crap gets a thread for its 2-4 games a month of old ass shit, meanwhile PC Game Pass releasing like 4 games a week with some recent stuff. If you're using it, let's talk about what games we've played and whether they're any good.
PC Game pass Details: $5 a month (current deal is 3 months for $5 total). Games added weekly, games stick on the service for one year, so you've got 1 year to try them for 5 mins and see if you want to play them.
Recent additions to the service - Yoku's Island Express, Age of Empire Definitive Edition, Ape Out, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Bard's Tale Trilogy, Wasteland 2 Director's Cut
Coming Soon in the next week or so - Bard's Tale IV Directors Cut, The Blair Witch Project
Coming Soon later this year - Outer Worlds (Oct 25th)
--------------------------
The Messenger - I like this but still in the first half, stages are too easy, but boss fights are good and writing is hilarious, too bad everyone says 2nd half sucks
Nightcall - This is a cool little 2-3 hour run Paris taxi driver narrative sim, would recommend trying a run
Where Water Turns to Wine - This is a way too long at 30+ hours, but ultimately really neat narrative journey across depression era USA (aka 2020, I kidd). 24 writers put together 240+ short stories with great VA and awesome music. Would recommend at least playing for an hour and trying out some stories.
Blazing Chrome - Basically not as good as best Contras, but still pretty darn good Contra clone. Totally worth a play through.
Old Man's Journey - I played like an hour of this last night and it's super beautiful 2d art but otherwise the gameplay seemed really bad. One of those you can tell it was made for iOS devices kinda games. Feels like it'd be better off just watching a playthrough on youtube.
Forza Horizon 4 - I mean if you haven't played it by now, try it? But if you're interested, you've probably played it. Good open world racer.
Snake Pass - Tried this for a few levels but I see why it bombed because it's an entire game about fighting the controls woooohoooo yeah no thnx
Unavowed - Nice little 8 hour-ish PnC adventure game. Good VA and art, good story, fairly streamlined. Would recommend.
