I already own Aliens, but it's a nice line-up. Stalker and Nine Sols for me. And Flight Simulator one of these days.

Alien DD is coming?

Multiple times have considered buying it.

With it coming to PC GP as well, it means I can cheat engine the shit out of it and finally beat it too :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I wish they bring back Fireteam Elite tho,I really like that one.

And might as well try to get Isolation back on GamePass in light of the sequel's announcement, it's already FPS Boosted and a fantastic version.

Both of those are less than $10. Would like newer stuff personally.

They have a good cadence going on right now with at least one or more new game releases on GP until April-ish, but they also need supplemental games to pad it out. Would make for some nice additions.

I get it. They definitely stepped it up recently in terms of big games regularly dropping. But they have passed so many major indies that I think might have gotten better offers in the past. If it turns into something like PS+ with old stuff, it'll be entirely useless for me. I buy a ton of games and got both of those for dirt cheap already. But everyone's different.

Stalker 2, can’t wait. It’ll be a lovely game to play as winter kicks off here in New England

OT: whatever happened to that side scrolling “Conan” looking game about Barbarians or something. I remember seeing years ago for some Gamepass thing…….. anyone?
 
Pretty good month though I preordered Stalker through steam as I want to support the dev.

Everybody should play Nine Sols though. That is another dev that deserves it. It still shitty what happened to them.

Damn, I was eyeing off Dark Descent a little while ago. Didn't realise it was on the slate; keen to play! ... after STALKER 2, of course.

I've only tried Genshin for like 10 minutes before, if the rewards make the onboarding easy enough, I might try it again.

STALKER and Genshin (on Xbox in general + perks for GPU) are both live now.

Whelp, Nine Sols 1 hour in has already exceeded expectations. Its parry heavy, but the timing is pretty generous, which is a better fit for this type of game. Its clearly going to get much more difficult.

What I didn't expect is the story to already be fairly badass. Reminds me of 30 years ago when anime was actually dark and badass.
