As usual, a handful of titles are leaving the library at the end of the month. That means if you want to keep playing any of these games, you need to buy them. If you buy them before they exit Xbox Game Pass, you can pick them up at a discount. Here’s the games leaving on April 30:
Analysis: A decent end to the month
Harold Halibut (which is available today!) is still the highlight of the month’s additions for me, and I’m looking forward to checking it out shortly. Outside of that, Manor Lords is next most-interesting game added to the service this month for me. It seems impossibly ambitious, and the sense of permanence the lone developer is going for is something you just don’t see in most strategy games.
