Actually, I do have one question. I can't see my old 360 purchases in my game library or on the Xbox website, but if I search for them manually on the store it shows that I own them and can redownload. Thing is, it's a tad difficult for me to remember every digital game I bought from 2008-2011. Is there a way to tell or list these other than dragging my 360 out of the attic and hooking it up?

Yeah - go into "my games and apps" and select 'ready to install'. That will save a lot of hassle.

Some recommendations of games which weren't on PS4 (which you may have played on PC):

- Sunset Overdrive

- Ori and the Blind Forest/ Ori and the Will of the Wisps

- Recore (I actually think that game was good - sue me)

- Halo Infinite and Halo Wars 2

- State of Decay 2 

- The Forza franchise

If they're compatible with your new console, it's simple. Go to "My games and apps" and select "full library".

Installed or not, if you're using the same profile that purchased the games, they're there.



Rise of the Tomb Raider is honestly one of my favorite action adventure games. I actually completed the 360 version recently just for comparison.

There is nothing spectacular about it, I just find it fun and enjoy exploring the world. The DLC ain't bad either.

I am actually a singular person, not multiple. And I played it on launch day and beat it within the week and later played with the Extended Cut. It did not fix the problems. It at least actually acknowledged some of the decisions that you made, unlike the original, but does not rectify the "Pick your favorite color for the ending cutscene" that is was.

so you and KiigelHeart are the same person?

We are apparently identical, but separate individuals. Twin Kiigel, is that you? Seriously, though, I know several people who feel the same after how the trilogy ended. Don't want to play the old games again, skipped Andromeda, etc.

I played about five hours of it. It was indeed not spectacular. Pretty sure I've figured out the entire plot after the first few cutscenes. I mean, the set-pieces were great, but the gameplay boiled down to "Hold forward and occasionally press jump." It looks great, but it's essentially shiny Super Mario Bros. I had more fun during the hunting segment, though. I'll need to play deeper to really judge it.

I should also mention that I did follow the advice here and got Game Pass. My fiancee wants ESO so we can retire the PS4 and it's on the service, so I was forced under duress to do so. Nifty service, but the actual games listed are like 10% great games and 90% fodder. So, the same as all streaming-style services, am I right, folks?

ReCore is an underrated gem.

 Vast majority of the games are rated above average or much better so I wouldn't call it folder. It really comes down to personal taste. Keep an eye out for the monthly releases to see what might interest you. What makes the service great is discovering games you may use not bought but end up trying out and really enjoying.
