What game would you have not tried otherwise that came up on XBox Game Pass and dragged you in?
Mine is, funny enough, Powerwash Simulator. For such a silly title and premise, it managed to “wash away” several hours of my life trying to clean all the things.
My favs:
Banjo-kazooie, old school N64 3d platformer Slay the spire - rogue-like card/battle game Stardew Valley - relaxing farming and social sim - lots of heart Tinykin - pikmin / 3d platformer, really cute Vampire survivors - a 1992 style graphics roguelike survival/auto-shooting/auto-attack
fav stuff that left gamepass Spiritfarer, Hades, outer wilds (explore space!), wild at heart (pikmin-2D), myst
Outer Wilds has got to be one of my all time favourite games, it’s just so good! The echoes of the eye DLC is top notch too.
Obligatory reminder not to look up anything about this game ahead of time. It’s one of those where discovery is super important and joyful, and you can only play it for the first time once.
