Analysis: A decent month, but secure the games that are leaving
This isn’t a bad month for Xbox Game Pass, even if its definitely bolstered by the return of a couple of titles. If you haven’t played Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it’s a fun adventure game with some interesting puzzles and great difficulty and accessibility options. While I haven’t played it personally, I know a lot of people that enjoyed LEGO 2K Drive, so that’s also worth giving a look.
The main new game drawing my eye here is Harold Halibut. The stop-motion presentation here is absolutely nuts, and the entire underwater claymation-esque world is incredible to behold. I’m definitely going to be checking this one out.
For the games that are leaving the service, you should absolutely buy Amnesia: Rebirth and SOMA if you haven’t already. Both are great horror games from Frictional, the creators of the Amnesia series. I just played Rebirth a few months ago, and while I’m definitely over the whole “hide from monsters, you’ve got no other option” approach, the story is definitely worth experiencing. And SOMA? If you haven’t played it, you need to.
