I ended up picking out Tunic as my Game of the Year, when at first it only seemed like a mild Zelda-like. There’s certainly other trashy games out there I’ve enjoyed, such as Neoverse, a deck-building Roguelike (no longer on there anymore), Rune Factory, Battletoads.

Someday I’ll gather a 4p crowd to play some of the couch games, which are relatively few on Game Pass but generally pretty decent. I think a lot of people would be up for Halo splitscreen.

I played Tunic 4 times, almost in a row, it was that good. Just a fantastic game. Also found it on gamepas.

Hi-Fi rush was another gem I didn't expect to find through GP.

Spiritfarer, which I actually bought so I could keep playing it.

Slay the Spire. What a banger. And I didn't know I would even like card games before I checked it out.

Chivalry 2. I always saw videos about it and thought I would love it. Had a great 4-5 months, but it's gotten pretty stale recently.

Oh man so many. The biggest is probably Deep Rock Galactic tho. That game has ended up being one of my favorite games I've ever played and I don't think I'd ever have played it without game pass. Rock and stone to the bone!

Tetris Effect: Connected

Tetris? On Steam? At that price?? And then I tried it on GamePass and I was hooked. Love the song too.

Game Pass has paid off for me - I was going to buy MS Flight Simulator when it came out, but knew I'd play it for a while but the novelty would wear off so didn't want to spend $70 (AUD) - looked at the game available on GP and thought "yeah, I'll play that, and that, and that etc". I played but wouldn't have bought Deathloop Forza Horizon Redfall MS Flight Sim and a few I can't remember. Game Pass is really good value.

Tunic and Evil West.

Although I own fallout 76 already, I highly recommend if you haven’t tried it since launch.

I played The Touryst when I first got my Series S at launch. Blew my mind at 120 fps.

Skul: The Hero Slayer. Randomly decided to download it when it first came to Game Pass and instantly fell in love with it.
