You can definitely use D-pad, but I used analog sticks for the whole thing.Celeste is all d-pad based right? I could get away with using my Hori pad for it?

Xbox Games with Gold January - Celeste, WRC6, Far Cry 2 and Lara Croft GoL

Call it what you want. It's low-cost, cheap looking indie graphics. I just watched some gameplay and more important to me than it's low-rent graphics is the fact it's simply not a type of game I like. Puzzles and platforming. Ugh. Horrible. Excuse me while I go shred some zombies in Black Ops 4, then do some gnarly jumps in Forza 4. I have little time for gaming. AAA and 4K or bust.
Everyone is different, I'm happy people are getting a GOTY canidate that many seem to enjoy. It's just not for me.
It's fine if you don't personally like it, but there is absolutely nothing "cheap" or "low-cost" about what Celeste is doing.
Huh, and I was thinking of grabbing Celeste on Steam sale. WRC2 also looks alright.
I like Farcry 2 but there is no chance I would ever play it without mods that deal with base respawns.

Awesome. Will finally try out Celeste, but I'm more excited for FC2. It's one of my favorite games.
I enjoyed my time with Celeste far more than any other game I've played this year, and that includes God of War, Spider-Man, RDR2, Monster Hunter World just to name a few of the dozens. It's your loss and I actually feel a little sorry for you.
I don't get this attitude. You not only dismiss it out of hand but you won't even TRY a game that you've basically already paid for or are getting free - depending on which way you want to look at it.
I have Game Pass and thanks to it I've tried a ton of games I would have otherwise done the same thing and just dismissed as 'not for me/not my style of game' out of hand. You know what though, after actually giving them a chance, a lot of those games actually WERE games that were for me...I just didn't know it before. I'm not saying they're all gems I missed, but there were more hits than misses.
At least give the game a chance before shitting on it.
*raises hand*
I noticed it was "a repeat" right away (as a result of already having it via GwG).
Indeed.
excited for wrc 6 and willing to at least give celeste a chance despite knowing nothing about it
I have friends who work in the gaming industry. "8-bit" and "pixel-art" graphics are used because they cost very little to make. They are LITERALLY "cheap" and "low-cost".
I watched the videos of the game because of all the hype. It's just not a game style I like. Games that require constant retries to get a jump or button combination timed just right make me ill. Many people celebrate old-school arcade games and Celeste for figuring out clever ways to implement these puzzles. I do not. I very much enjoy the ease of play and graphics of new games. The Tomb Raider reboot, for instance, is just the perfect game to me. Lots of beautiful things to see and puzzles and jumping of perfect (easy) difficulty.
I will download Celeste, just like I do every GwG game, but I doubt I will ever boot it up.

Hell yea, I was planning to buy Hollow Knight tonight, but I'll jump into this first.
Does seem a bit late for Xbox but normally Tuesday announcements for PS+ so should get that tomorrow as 1st Tuesday of the month is next week still.
Yeah, PS always cut it fine but MS normlly go way in advance.
Maybe its such a good month the deal took time.........
That's already on Game Pass so it'd be nice to have something different, but still a nice get for Gold-only subscribers.
The DOOM multi-player has seen a big resurgence on the Xbox version since it hit Game Pass too, which is great. Easy to find a game :D
Interesting, I have it on PS4 but would try it for the Xbox port comparison
