Gris should not be missed if you've never played it before!

Agreed!

It was on Game pass before, and I kinda did skip it because I felt like I had played multiple “processing grief” video games, and didn’t like the idea of doing it in a formless world of colors rather than around some kind of deliberate, recognizable world theme. There’s such a thing as being too artsy and abstract.

I'm really looking forward to Sea of Stars. I'm not even big on turn-based RPGs, save for a few exceptions, but it's really speaking to me. Not sure if it scratches a nostalgia itch or if it's the gorgeous art, but I'm into it.

Firewatch has been on my list since forever! So glad that I’ll finally get to play it!

Weird, Firewatch was on GP like two months ago.

It's pretty common for some games to leave and then return again to game pass. Probably has to do with licensing terms

wasn't Gris on the game pass before?

[–] FangedWyvern42 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Firewatch was too. Some games rotate in and out.

I see, good to know thx

Firewatch and Gris are great. Not played the others.
