    I absolutely loved The Artful Escape. It literally put a smile on my face the entire time. It's easy, it's relaxing, it's an amazing piece of art, and it's something different. Highly recommended!
    Couldn't agree more ... The devs was on the Colt Eastwood podcast shortly before launch & the way they talked of the game got me very interested, definitely didn't regret starting it smile

    Seems silly that a plague tale innocence will leave just before the sequel comes out with day 1 on games pass. Highly recommend everyone pick it up though, incredible game.

    Glad I bought I Am Fish when it was on sale a few weeks back, no rush to jump on that one then.

    Not sure why I stopped playing Flynn Son of Crimson when it's such a short game, but seeing it on the "leaving soon" made me try to finish it.

    Some parts are so frustrating to complete… until I found the "no damage" option 😂

    I'm now going to enjoy the light puzzles without having to endure the ridiculous difficulty spikes… and should get all the achievements before the game leaves!

    I'm glad I managed to finish Final Fantasy XIII around 2 months ago. It wasn't bad, I actually enjoyed the linear structure, but I didn't feel like I need to buy it. Also enjoyed The Artful Escape and SkateBIRD.

    Resume FFXIII, or run through the smaller and faster completions..... hmmmm.... hope 13 returns someday. Like Yakuza 0/1/2 did.
    It's just speculation from my side, but who knows maybe Sony might buy Square Enix in the coming months so in that case chances are low for a return of the Final Fantasy games to GamePass.
    I am buying up SE games as they go on sale... never know.. Might be pulled from the store if it happens

    So many good games leaving atm. Last week we already lost so many. It feels like Gamepass is losing games faster then we get new ones right now.
    Yeah, this is what I said above, and I only got a couple of users who replied, saying I should expand my tastes to like the games that are coming to Game Pass now. LOL.
    I've been paying close attention: and for those of us interested in playing AAs and indies on Game Pass, the quality of games LEAVING the service is much better than the quality of games JOINING the service. Only a few exceptions (like the games occasionally coming from Humble Bundle). We'll always have MS first-party (rare this year), and we'll always have some random AAAs and sports games -- but where are the new games arriving like the AAs and indies that left last month and this month?

    I'm patient -- willing to give Game Pass a few months to come back with some great games. But if the service still feels like this after Q4/Q1, I'll probably bail. Can spend that $180/year on games I really want to play instead.

    I think something people tend to forget is if a month has a lot of additions to expect that same month the following year to have similar amount in removals. I would say 3/4 of game pass games have a year on the service, not counting first party titles.

    Guess I am playing Plague Tale this weekend. How accurate is the 15/20 hours?

    Knew this would happen with the second one on the way lol
    It is kind of accurate. The first time you play it you will probably miss a couple of things. There are collectibles that you can recollect choosing chapters but the one that could be missing is the one you get from picking things to upgrade your stuff. If you miss some you won't reach the full upgrade needed near the end of the game. You will probably be better to rush the game a 2nd time following the guide
    games are almost the same thing. I purchased the same bundle a while ago and I regret it

    Even fifteen bucks a month is too much when you've got a backlog. I spend less than that a month total and it's usually on stuff that goes on wicked sale that I'm paying for with rewards money. I have enough purchased games in my backlog that I could get by without spending any real money on games for probably two years.

    And I always buy to own the halo, gears, and other Microsoft 1st parry titles, so the service really has nothing for me long term.

    I do think it's a great deal for most people, though, and I agree that we have lost better than we've gained recently.
    State of the badass art.

    I'll wrap up A Plague's Tale today then dive right into The Artful Escape. If time permits I'll try getting to Lost Words. If someone invents a time machine next week, I'll play Flynn.
    This too shall pass.

    I’d say 15-20 hours is spot on

    I think MS really needs to give more notice before dropping games; at least 30 days - this can't be a difficult thing to do.
    You've got a years notice. Pretty much a year after they join expect them to leave.

    Everyone get your spreadsheets out, especially the more casual gamers, for this unofficial maybe notice.

    Someone has already done the work and has a tab which marks which is likely to be leaving soon.

    Looks like FF13 finally hit the "Sony told us to take it off" list. Usually, we get one Square game taken off every month it would seem.
