Having not played much on Gamepass since Psychonauts 2 I thought I'd check out some of the new stuff and games I'd previously downloaded.

I gave The Ascent a go and have bounced right off it. It looks nice enough and controls reasonably, but it just seems a bit soulless and dull.

I also tried a bit of DQ:XI which looks nice but I'm not sure I'm keen on the turn based battle system having enjoyed the more dynamic battle systems of Xenoblade Chronicles and FFVII Remake recently.

Saying that though, I did quite enjoy the hour or so I spent with Yakuza:LAD, which has turn based combat. I'll probably continue with this as I'd like to give a Yakuza game a try and I prefer this battle system to the series normal one.

I haven't even touched Scarlett Nexus or Marvels Avengers yet, and I'll probably check out Back 4 Blood when that releases too.

The Riftbreaker is a fun and unique RTS game with survival elements, too many weapons and incredible graphics.


Out now on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.

Also Ring of Pain is out today on Cloud, Console, and PC -



Ring of Pain is a roguelike / card game / dungeon crawler mashup. Levels are generated randomly from decks of cards, and arranged in a ring, which lets you observe the level and strategize. As you interact with cards the dungeon dynamically adjusts based on what you’re doing.

Wasn't Stardew Valley supposed to be on Game Pass at some point?

Is there absolutely zero coverage of The Good Life one day before launch?

I'm going to say thats a good sign. Has to be a good sign.

Oh no all those FNAF games I never got round to playing.

The good news is that Celeste was a GWG game first, so that's going nowhere. Just need to get back to Carto.

Yeah, it’s tenuous, but still outstanding value. Would I buy this, probably not… but still, brilliant.

Not much there of interest. Might give the fishing game a go, but otherwise it'll depend on reviews.
