Someone floated me this weird link and says this is what's potentially upcoming. I'm seeing Oddworld, NITW, Darkest Dungeon and Jurassic World Evo.

I think the rest have been given away or are free?

Yeah, that's the main source (Epic's ratings for Korea Releases) for figuring out freebies. (Although does include paid releases too)

Oh well. The deluxe version barely cost me anything so I'm still happy with the purchase.

There's no way Sony is ageeing to give Horizon away this soon. They've barely discounted it.

And a few of the others are from publishers with no EGS prescence.

I also highly doubt BL3 simply because they are looking to push next gen sales right now.

One step from eden on the other hand was a disappointment. I see it being recommended occasionally so i was almost certain that i would like it since I love roguelikes (or whatever is the proper term) but i didn't like the pace of the game nor the graphics. I knew how the game looked going in but i was hoping gameplay would make up for it. Unfortunately even besides the pace, the gameplay just didn't grab me. Readability was also bad when a lot of effects were going on and the artstyle doesn't help.

It's the total opposite for me, I wasn't expecting much (all the comparison to MMBN went over my head) but the game grew on me. I played an adventure game from the bundle before this so the frantic combat was a nice change of pace. It's pretty hard and I was close to giving up until I found some decks that worked for me and started making more progress. I love the design of the boss characters. Agree that when the game starts piling on enemy attacks, it quickly becomes overwhelming. But most attacks are well telegraphed and it also gets easier once you pick up on enemy patterns.

My build finally came together and I got my first pacifist clear after 24 hours. The advanced stuff is wayyy above my skill ceiling though so I'm done with the game.

Curious what people loved about Wasteland 3? I've sunk a decent chunk of time into it, and its gotta be one of the most bog standard crpgs ive ever played. I'm mostly disappointed with the writing and scenario design, its just really cookie cutter stuff. Same with the combat - just don't know what to make of the whole package really.

I am kind on the same page as you.
I can see what people like about it, as in the freedom to create your own character, a story that remembers and value your decisions, the setting is well done, too.
Having said that, the actual plot fell flat to me as I wasn't interested in any character or faction and the combat felt like a chore, there is a lot of combat and it never clicked with me, so every time more combat was presented I was like "urgh".

I'm actually quite hyped for EA Pass coming to Gamepass PC and waiting for it to drop (tho I don't know when it will be exactly).
I don't think I am actually taking advantage of Gamepass as much I thought I would looking at the library and that will probably stay the same after EA pass drop, but there is still that "oohh a bunch of new games" feeling.

Doom Eternal. After the first hunter mini-boss kicked my ass at first I was hesitant to tackle the next section with two of them at the same time. As it turns out, beat them first attempt. The battle continues on ultra violence (with controller), which I'm reluctant to drop because that would be like admitting I'm getting older.

Potentially of interest here, Indigo Gaming finally put out Part 2 of their Cyberpunk documentary, only a year after Part 1 which I really enjoyed.

Oh, neat, Hazel Sky has a release window now.

Played the demo way back, and the world sounded pretty interesting.

Welp, just watched that Cyberpunk Digital Foundry verdict of the Xbox One version.

Framerate constantly in the low 20s, Sub 720p resolution.
That's Shadow Of Mordor PS3 version territory.

Steam has Gears of War 5 for $9.99. If you're not into gamepass, I highly recommend it at that price.

Mine is disappearing inventory items, including my sweet katana from linking to GOG.com. Also, I've had to replay two sections of the game because of bugs that prevent me from completing tasks.

At least I haven't run into this one:
