    I'm really needing a filter to get rid of all the 0.5 hour games on the weekly sales at this point

    are the crash bandicoot games any good? are they similar to the spyro games? i enjoyed the latter and i enjoy platformers in general, but a bit more input is always appreciated :)

    though, i wonder if i should just save my money and wait for them to come on up game pass... surely they will eventually, right
    probably some of my favorite games of all time, some people didn't like 4 as much but i have to say i enjoyed it even more than the original trilogy which i loved, also ctr nitro fueled is one of if not my favorite racing game of all time, can highly recommend all 3 of those

    Good games but nothing like the Spyro ones. Spyro games are "collectathons" where the required skill level is relatively low and the focus is on exploring a somewhat open 3D space. Crash Bandicoot is a skill based 3D platformer with fixed camera angles where death is just a single mistake away all the time. If you want the achievements then look at the TA ratios, Crash is way harder and longer despite it features very short levels.

    Does anyone know how I can look through my game history on here and find games I’ve either not started and/or those with gamerscore updates I may have missed?

    First time I recall seeing Death Stranding on sale since it left game pass!
    Thanks for mentioning it, I've been waiting for a sale on that.
    Oh nice, was waiting for that. Based on how little a lot of Windows versions of games are on sale, I kinda never expected it to be on sale ever. Come on Alien Isolation PC next!

    Kinda wondering if I should grab it now, or hope for it to be on sale again for more than 40% off though, lol.

    It was very difficult and frustrating to 100%. Especially that last level. It's not difficult if you just wanna play it without 100%ing the achievements

    Loved "For the King" if you are into that sort of game. It was my first time playing something like it and I really enjoyed the turn based nature of the game.
    I’ve been on the fence about that game for a while. How’s the difficulty? Any buggy achievements?
    No buggy achievements and technically one is very difficult but you are able to dashboard and come back in if you would die ir something bad happen so the toughest achievement in the game was still very easy for me.

    thanks yall! yeah ive heard the crash games can be tricky but i dont mind a good challenge in platformers. i especially like those kinds of games that require you to master the movement, like mario odyssey and a hat in time, so i think id enjoy crash too

    Appreciate the call out on this. Completely fell through the radar but was super keen on it (but never had time when in game pass).

    Bought & thank you!
