Never played Falconeer (which released in 2020 by the way, not this year) but there's nothing "lackluster" about the other three games. And I don't see anyone perpetuating this supposed thought of bad rated games except jaded gamers invested in console warz. I don't give those people or their input any worth at all. I actually pity them, to value the rating journalists give a game over their own experience. My most played game of all time is a 58 on Metacritic. Look at a game you mentioned, Falconeer. In the 60's meta on Xbox. Yuck! Why should I even waste my time! Same game on Switch, 80 rated. What a laughably flawed way to look at things. Also idk what you're talking about with half the day one games this year being "bad rated". 70+ rating: The only two games I have come across that launched on Xbox this year and reviewed below a 70 are The Ascent, and Last Stop. I've never played Last Stop, but Ascent is far from a bad game imho, regardless of what the almighty reviewers say. What exactly do you consider to be a "bad rating", lol? Because to me this list shows that even if you for some reason give a shit about meta scores, GamePass offered a ton of day one Xbox games and a vast majority of them are quite good. |
If you start to count late ports as "day one gp", that's a whole new issue we might have. Cause Yakuza collection, Octopath Traveler, Undertale, Hades, or Flight Simulator, great to play them on Game Pass, but I wouldn't count them as "day one game pass" games.
