I'm loving XBOX Games pass, £7 a month gets you access to about 200 games.
There some triple A stuff on there like Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5 but I'm interested in lower key stuff you've found.
So far I've thoroughly enjoyed:
Surviving Mars: city builder game set on, well, Mars
Stellaris: Space grand strategy game, there will be lots of PC titles like this but its pretty unique on the XBox
Hollow Knight: Superb 2D platform game
What else you got?
Untitled Goose Game; you are a goose and you are horrible. Terrorise the villagers!
Tembo the Badass Elephant; I think this is on Ultimate, old school platformer.
Human Fall Flat; physics puzzler
Portal Bridge Constructor; build bridges for the employees of Aperture Science to drive over at speed, in forklifts.
Human Fall Flat drove me nuts after about half an hour.
Tembo the Badass Elephant looks like fun though
Descenders - downhill mountain biking game
Actually it's more Enduro... But it's quite fun - especially if you play in first person view
I tried to like Decenders but it just got annoying . Never tried it in first person mode though.
Lonely Mountains Downhill, on the other hand, is far more chilled. I'd call that enduro whilst Descenders is more of a Crankworks slopestyle affair.
I tried Descenders too,
Turns out I'm just as shit at riding virtual bikes fast
One I forgot:
Dead Cells, Mental pixel art hack and slash platform game, really good fun.
There's so many decent games on GamePass.
Some of my highlights are
GTA - just become available
Outer Worlds
Outer Wilds (downloaded this one by mistake, and ended up really enjoying it)
Pillars of Eternity (if you like this sort of thing, it's def not for everyone)
SuperHot
Subnautica
Shadow Tactics
Have to say the service is the main thing that's keeping me playing the xbox - haven't bought a full price game for a while
It works well for me because I have ADD with games. I'll play something obsessively for a while then take a break and wind up leaving it so long that I forget the controls or where I'm up to and never get around to going back to it. I must have restarted that Egyptian Assassin's Creed about five times now.
This isn't so much of a problem when games are like £5-£10, but when they're North of 40 quid a pop it's a huge waste of money. I picked up two and a half years' worth of Game Pass for like £30 in an offer last year, that's a way better spend of my cash.
