I went through the Recently Arrived section and found four games that I had not downloaded (as a rule I download all of them). Not sure if they popped up randomly or if I missed them during the massive dump around E3 - may be worth a look?

I'm really enjoying Bridge Constructor Portal. It's so easy to dip in to, and the build / test / drive loop and on the fly modifications are so satisfying.

It probably goes without saying, but Killer Instinct is absolutely fantastic.

Well chuffed with Pandemic, always wanted to play the board game so this'll be a cheap route in. Jackbox 2 as well.

Ashes Cricket is absolute shite, by the way.

Have to say it's one of the poorest selection of games that has come to Gamepass in a long time.

Started playing Metro 2033 and Wolfienstien 2 before getting sick of both reasonably early in, funny how Game Pass changes your behaviour, had I had the disc copies of either I'd of almost certainly persevered with both longer but as it's game pass I just deleted them and downloaded the Gears 1 Remake and Observer, the latter of which is quite excellent.

Pandemic is brutal. After five games on very easy, I mananaged to win the game. I think the 100 wins achievment is safe from me.

Played Ashes with my three year old, after skittling her for a duck she was able to play it quite well. We both got bored quickly though.
