Well, I really liked the first BioShock, but Prey? Couldn't get past few first hours. It felt like a chore.
haven't played Prey yet, but BioShock is less an immersive sim than an FPS with some immersive sim elements, fwiw.
I LOVED PREY
it's really just a genre thing, immersive sims are so completely satisfying and enrapturing for me, and PREY delivers, but def don't expect a 1st person fps game with rpg elements, it's a whole different beast.
... Fuck I love that game

Ouch, those people have families ya know?!
Probably won't get their bonuses for having an above 9.6 resetera user reviews now, hope none of them planned on a vacation this year
If you give it a 10 the average goes up and they get the bonus. Lots of pressure, can't say I envy you.
You've forced my hand
I give it a 10/10
(although iirc the dlc kinda sucks)
lurkers, play that game!
I'm actually enjoying Observer a lot. I don't know how people beat this is in an evening though lol. I guess I'm just slow and always looking for collectables.
Sucks to hear. I don't know where I'm at in the game yet lol.
Good luck with that shitty final boss. I didn't even bother looking up the ending on youtube, now that I think of it.
Nice game though, I really liked the exploration with jump/vault mechanics and less focus on shortcuts and instead wider open environments for a change.
I tried getting into Prey, played the first hour or so but I couldn't get into it. I stopped and started playing Dishonoured 2 instead which I'm liking a lot more. Maybe I'll give Prey another chance when I get time.
How does the subscription work? Can you use gift card funds? Do you need enough credit for one month only if you want to subscribe or do you need to have enough for the next month as well?
Dishonored 2 was very good. I, however, didn't like it as much as the first one. The first one had more atmosphere in my view.
Thanks to Gamepass, i am playing Dead Cells and i wouldn't have tried it any other way and i am hooked. I think the gameplay loop, music and art is quite beautiful.
I have one left -
the Scarab one
It's a fascinating experience and has a lot of cool ideas, but it's just not a good game in terms of gameplay. It's one thing to get through a bit of a slog if the gameplay is high quality, but Prey's shooting and movement are pretty bad for a first person game, which heavily hampers the enjoyment if the story or the worldbuilding starts feeling a bit stale.
Thanks, I'll take a look if I go back. Getting the last couple of chests and wickerlings I made a lot more painful for myself than it needed to be. One I found a convoluted and tightly timed route with a slug was needed with a couple of very unreliable bumper launches on the way. Eventually got it, hugely satisfied with my skillz, and then realised there was a much simpler and quick way in :D. The final chest I needed had me flummoxed for ages until my wife asked me what the little bumper that kept appearing was. Playing and hitting LT my focus was completely on the blue flipper at the bottom of the section, I never even noticed this extra one which took me where I needed to go!
saw they added MGS2 and MGS3 so I've been chippin away at those this weekend, been a long time since i've played either. Both run really great and look great, surprisingly so.
Re: Yoku's Island Express
We got stuck on some of the same ones as you did, I think. Was that extra bumper one the one in the snowy area with the extra bumper sort of off to the right? Either way, there were definitely some things we had to look up for getting all the chests and Wickerlings.
We enjoyed the game a ton though, it felt like a pinball offshore of Ori. Not being into pinball I didn't think we'd enjoy it very much and I was very happily surprised to find out how much we liked it. It's a ton of fun packed with intriguing characters and secrets that really reward exploration. The game is gorgeous, too. One of my favorites on Game Pass for sure.

Yoku's Island Express is fucking great. More people should play it.
Playing Bloodstained at the mo. It runs like ass. Enjoying it though.

Same here, I hit the big open areas and immediately dropped the game. If memory serves I think it became too stressful trying to manage enemies with limited ammo and resources - those kinds of games are just not for me.
Separately I really wish Bloodstained ran well. I want to return to it but have gotten constant crashes and headless Miriam pause screen glitches that require restarts. Really a shame because it could be an amazing game.
Final boss took a few tries, but she wasn't too bad. I ended up relying heavily on my companion. I just went in with the heaviest armor and longest weapon that I had. Tried to keep her between the two of us. And would pepper her with shots when she'd get too focused on my tag team partner. That kept us both alive long enough to whittle down her health.
That being said, you didn't miss a ton not finishing. Didn't really change my opinion on the game. 8/10. Well worth the time.
Yeah it was clear to me the game was worth it anyway. Also, in the second phase, my partner died in seconds and it was awful and I don't care if it's not that bad anyway, but I tried one handed, two handed, spears and all, even using the pool as some video suggested, but when I was left alone a single mistake was fatal and it just didn't seem worth the effort.
Yeah, I may have been a little lucky with my man surviving. On the previous four or five tries, he died early in that second phase for me, too.
inXile released a patch to Bard's Tale IV today that adds dynamic resolution on Xbox One X up to 4K. I had fired it up very briefly when it first launched on Game Pass and honestly couldn't keep playing because it looked too blurry for me on my 65" TV, but man I am really enjoying it now. I realize that it isn't fully AAA polish yet or anything, but my excitement for what this studio could do next under Xbox just went up by a lot. I am not usually a turn based combat player either and have taken very quickly to the system and am enjoying it a lot.
Does anyone know where an updated/current list of PC Game Pass titles with Xbox achievements lives? I am one of those people that love achievements, but also love said achievements going to my Gamerscore with 13 years' worth of activity.
Finally got the true ending for Bloodstained. Probably didn't need to be quite as long as it is, but still, a lot of fun and better than I expected from an Igavania.
anyone know where the save folder is on PC, so I can back it up before uninstalling?

I'll just say Bad North lives up to its name, and not the "North" part.
It feels like a needlessly punishing, single player Clash Royale. I was hoping for something a little more strategic and less just cheap.

Full List of PC Game Pass Games
Full list of PC Game Pass games. Find all the guides and achievement lists for PC Game Pass games here.
games with "win 10" have separate achievement lists from the console version.
I've been playing DMC5 with game pass and it exceeded my expectations, it's almost at the level of fun I had with DmC (2013).
Only in mission 6/20 but having a ton of fun. And I'm not missing the puzzles from previous games, hopefully it continues that way.
