After a few TV Shows it's time to get back into gaming, I need to alternate between the two, Lol. But for January I'll probably take it slow and focus on shorter titles or more relaxing titles, before the Feb+ bombardment. That being said I've added a few Game Pass titles that I might be interested in so does anyone have any thoughts on the following.

  • Still Wakes The Deep
  • Firewatch
  • Tunic
  • Powerwash Simulator
  • Journey To The Savage Planet
  • Gris
  • Immortals Fenyx Rising
  • Control
  • Botany Manor
  • Lightyear Frontier
  • Roboquest

Probably going to wait for Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake, House Flipper 2 to hit Game Pass. Still not even played Gears of War: Ultimate Edition but I kind of don't want to bother if Gears 2/3 won't receive remasters, I've obviously played Gears 1-3 before already but I don't want to bother again unless the entire series is remastered and I'll do it again with my old Gears buddy.

I got this.

Gris is one of my favourite games of all time, it’s a beautiful game about the five stages of grief. Has one of the best OSTs in indie gaming and is a joy to play. I bought it 5 times. Botany Manor is a lovely thoughtful game, very peaceful. I’m waiting for the PS5 releases to rebuy it. Firewatch is a non game, I’ve soured on it through the years, it’s barely a game and you can easily skip it. Tunic is a little longer than most on that list and quite a bit harder too, there’s a god mode that I personally used and generally enjoyed the game. It’s very old school like. Powerwash Simulator is probably the longest game on that list, that’s easily a 70+hr game of well .. power washing. Control or discount Quantum Break is pretty up its own ass like most Remedy games, I played it on launch and it was outrageously hard for the type of game it is. I will admit replaying it a few years back with 1 hit mode on I greatly enjoyed it and my opinions have easily improved. If you like QB then you’ll like Control. 

Versus out. 

Only thing I disagree with is your Firewatch take. It's story driven game like, What Happened to Edith Finch which are great games if you like this genre. I play games like Firewatch after some long big AAA game as a palette cleanser since it's a short and easy experience.
