Xbox Game Pass December: Strange Brigade, Mutant Year Zero, Hellblade, Ori DE, Kingdom Two Crowns
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
All sounds great, I picked up 12 months of Game Pass for £45, could be best gaming purchase I have made in years.
Strange Brigade is great (I paid full price...on two platforms...no regrets). Excellent addition to Game Pass.
Wow, I was really excited for Strange Brigade before it launched, then I forgot about it and it just kind of fell off the map. Can't wait to try it out.
That's pretty incredible value. I'd be tempted to jump into most of these, or play some other backlog games on the service like Quantum Break, but...I just started playing Hitman (2016) again and am very tempted to go from that straight into Hitman 2 during an inevitable boxing week sale. Hrmmm.
What a great game The Gardens Between is. Had never even heard of it before but I just completed it in one sitting. Beautiful, short and fun. If I had to pick a negative there are a few puzzles which aren't explained too well which makes them a bit hard when in reality they're simple. Either way this just completely justified my November subscription alone.
Maybe I missed it somewhere along the way, but I'd love to read a business analysis of how Game Pass is financially viable for all parties involved. Game Pass is such an outstanding program and and it's just now reaching the year and a half mark of its life.
Awesome! I've been looking forward to The Gardens Between since reading Klepek's impressions over at Waypoint, but haven't bought it yet.
That is a fucking amazing month, amazing! Going to play everything bar Ori and Hellblade cause I already own them but everything else is right up my street.
There was a Polygon article today I saw on Twitter talking about it, I'll try and find it for you.
Edit, found it.

Strange Brigade is really fun and challenging at times. Mutant Year Zero is looking really good as well. Game pass keeps delivering.
I played solo all the way through. Some moments of frustration along the way as it's clearly balanced for co-op, but I really liked it overall.
Levels are big, well-designed, and have tons of hidden areas and puzzles to solve. Light-hearted tone with a surprisingly entertaining narrator. Shooting is nothing revelatory, but feels solid and gets the job done (though some situations can be frustrating if you have the wrong load out as a solo player).

That all sounds good to me. It's up to 4 players allowed, right?
Own Hellblade and Ori (Best Metroidvania Game this gen) but want to play all the rest. Fantastic month. Mutant Year Zero and Ashen are two of my most anticipated games this year. Ever since I got hooked on Xcom.
Check out Phoenix Point. Love craft XCOM game coming also to game pass!
Never heard of it. Thanks for tips. Checking it out.
Edit: just checked it out. Looks awesome!

Looks like I'll be firing up a new GP sub to finally give Hellblade a whirl. Looking forward to it.
