Xbox Game Pass (Xbox / PC)

[Neon Ignition]

It'll be interesting to give it a go, till the last few days when it's been receiving some decent chatter I haven't paid it a second attention so know little about it

[nonny]

Yeah best way to go in really. The levels are very linear but the gunplay and magic mechanics are well integrated.

Even though it seems like a cover shooter it's more open as you're forced to engage and move to recoup health. You can also respec your character and weapons as you see fit to try different builds which is great.

So some bits are throwaway but they've got the important stuff executed pretty well right out of the gate.

If you have Game Pass Ultimate you can now get on the PC streaming beta: https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/play

[MartyG]

Haven't updated this for a while, so I suppose I should make an effort. Some new stuff incoming for Game Pass ....

I'd highly recommend giving Void Bastards a go before it goes in 10 days, humor in it is spot on, Its worth playing just for the little Scouse Aliens that shout "I can see ya dick bag" when they find you

[nonny]

Yeah void bastards is great fun. I'm not really bothered about anything else that's leaving.

I've been wanting to give maneater a go though so that's good.

Been playing maneater on PS5 after it was a ps plus game. Great, mostly mindless fun.

[nonny]

Knockout City added today...

It's basically 3on3 dodgeball and whilst it's EA and I smell a Rocket Arena vibe it actually looks great fun judging by the videos.

[MartyG]

Probably time I updated this again ... coming to Game Pass soon (sorry, I keep forgetting).

Might give Project Wingman another go to see if they've patch the performance in that game.

[nonny]

Can't wait for the Ascent and Flight Sim.

Even Omno looks like it might be worth a look but here to say if it'll live up to the trailers.

From now on game pass is getting some pretty major releases monthly which is great.

Not much this month for me but then it's getting crazy for the end of the year with that Forza/Halo combo

[MartyG]

It's worth checking out Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales before it leaves if you haven't looked at that - it's a different take on The Witcher but it's fairly well done.

Anybody had any issues completing the 2000 point September reward?
Done all the steps but it's not recognising the "complete a weekly set" step!
