+1 for Cocoon if you haven't played it.

Congrats! There are a ton of great games on Game Pass, especially on the indie side. 

If you are at all curious about Xcloud, you should download the Game Pass app. It's included with Game Pass Ultimate. A lot of games can be played with touch controls. If you would rather use a controller, you can buy a cheap controller clip for your phone. Or you can spend a little more money for something like a Razor Kishi phone controller. I don't use xcloud all the time, but it comes handy on trips and other outings. 

It's also worth checking out the Xbox app for mobile. You can use it to remote play, download games onto your Xbox, send messages, and other stuff. 

I'm assuming you are in NA region but it applies to all regions since they are still on the holiday sale.

I havent played enough FPS games but one series I enjoyed is Borderlands that has RPG elements to the FPS.

Starting 2024 off with a JRPG, not on Xbox tho coz I’d feel dirty.

Thank you very much BasilZero for your great list of games! Lots of games I haven't played yet.

Greetings from France.

No problem.

The good thing about DekuDeals is you can change the currency/region as well. I strictly use Dekudeals for all console deals (they do Switch and Playstation as well).

An alternative site you can use is PSPrices but they also support mobile sales as well for iOS and android.
