    I don’t think I’ve seen a single person say best on gamepass.. just that it’s a good game. Especially for Marvel, GotG fans. Think it’s underrated if anything. Didn’t make a lot of money, which is too bad cause I would have loved that style of game for all marvel characters/teams.
    Underrated? OK, your opinion. This title doesn't push any boundaries for action, story, gameplay, graphics or even the sound. It's a by the number third person, squad(ish) shooter that follows all the usual trends of corridor shooters. As i said, it's got a half funny story that would keep some playing, but nothing new here...
    Ofc it’s my opinion, that’s why I said it😂

    Kentucky Route Zero might be the most boring game I've played in the past decade. The game is as slow as molasses and I really regret starting it. And now I find out there's an achievement that has to be done on a specific day of the week which just makes this completion worse. I've got to stop starting Game Pass games like this without doing more research. This game gets all this praise online but the TA rating is the most accurate assessment I've seen of this game.

    Will need to finish up Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition then!
    I'm on that too but man do I feel that this story is all over the place. Can't make sense of it

    Guardians of the Galaxy was a good game for what it was. Personally I would like to see more games like this instead of forced live service games such as Anthem, Crystal Dynamics Avengers etc

    ^ Sounds like AI: The Somnium Files (mind blowing story)
    The same developer, similar half of gameplay (the flow chart part), escape room instead of point&click mystery part. For me personally AI is the best game from Spike Chunsoft (that I played so far), especially the plot is more thoughtful and consistent, but if you liked AI then there is high chance you will like Zero Escape as well.

    Young Souls was quite cool. Doable in 8/9 hours with the accessibility options, it gave me 6 cheevos for the pi challenge.

    Agreed. While the narrative carries well through the first 3 acts, the 4th and 5th really drag on with endless filler text from pointless characters that I ended up skipping through. Glad I'm done with it.

    I was in the middle of Act IV last night and was literally yelling at my TV for the game to hurry up. I was going for the Tuesday specific achievement and it was taking forever to get to the part. I'm honestly debating even finishing this game, which is something I've never contemplated before in regards to a game that has effortless achievements. It's really that bad, and the story doesn't even make any sense so there's no drive to even continue reading the walls of text the game shoves at you. Knowing that I have to play Act IV again for another achievement makes me sad inside.

    Is Undertale an easy completion? Been meaning to play it for ages regardless so guess I should get started.
    Sorry for the late response but undertale is easy with a guide there is just a few achievements which can take a while depending on how lucky you get cos you have to do slot machines I spent like 2 hrs alone on slot machines getting the achievements for them you can do it faster is just depends how lucky you are overall it took me under 6 hrs but you can do it faster

    Ha ha yeah they can be a bit hectic glad you’ve almost done it ! How have the slot machines been ? For me I spent probably like half the game at them 😂 I can’t tell if that’s normal or if that’s even considered lucky idk how it’s been for others

    I dont normally do the grind for games leaving GP and I certainly wont make it a habit going forward. GotG was a lot longer than I thought it'd be. Everytime I thought I was near the end it just kept going. I liked the game plenty but being on the clock made those false climaxes a bit annoying! Now to mop up achievements, hopefully the codex achievement pops in short order.

    Unfortunately I won't finish Zero Escape in time, I just didn't commit to it hard enough. I mean theoretically I could crunch really hard over the next three days to finish it, but I won't fully enjoy the game that way and I value my time at a better rate than three days of effort for 15 bucks, so I'll buy the full game at the next sale.

    Quick question:
    Does anyone know wich Time Zone the games are removed?
    I'm from Brazil and I'm abou chapter 13 in the Guardians of The Galaxy.
    Want to finish and, if I got the time, 100% all the achievements.

    Kentucky Route Zero was so dull and boring. Respect to anyone who enjoyed it but i literally put it on and watched YouTube or shows on my phone whilst skipping all the dialogue. i did it in less than 7hours this way and was so relieved when the last achievement popped up. I did the offline trick to do the Tuesday achievement, I read before people saying its not possible if its through game pass, but i did it with no issues at all and popped 15 seconds are coming back online. Granted i had to set my Xbox as the home Xbox as i game share to make sure i could.

    Not sure about the question, but provided you didn't miss any collectables/outfits/etc it should only take a few more hours to get 100%, I completed it last night and that's how long it took me. :)

    Trying to hurry through VLR in Nonary Games. Already played it so just burning through story and rooms. Do games leave the day it says or is it the last day they are there? What time approximately?

    Goat Simulator is back in Game Pass ... happy I don't have to buy Windows version just to finish it off now.
