I reviewed the PS4 version back in June. Gave it a 6/10 (which I thought was pretty generous).

The game is fun, but it is very flawed. As a freebie, I definitely recommend trying it out. It still very much feels like an old Xbox game of the early 2000s.

Among the Sleep next week is cool. I still need to play this grin

I liked Untitled Goose Game, I just wish it had more content so it's not $20 (or more for physical) for a game that most people can beat in roughly a little over 2 hours.

It might not feel like a rip-off of I only end up paying $10 for it after using the credit. My daughter would also play it as well, so that makes it a little more enticing. I've paid over $10 for a 90 minute movie, so when you look at it like that....

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions...

According to a SlickDeals link I came across, the next titles are:
28th: Moving Out [confirmed by leaker] - was a GwG offering on X1 before
29th: Salt and Sanctuary [confirmed by leaker]
30th: Rise of Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider (2013) [rumor]

If accurate, I don't believe that the 2 confirmed would not be repeats. I have Rise already, so that would be a repeat, the '13 TR might be as well and I simply didn't bother claiming it since I beat it a good while back. Shadow would be nice but would tax my old PC.

Moving Out looks fun, I originally wanted to get it on Switch until I saw the co-op was local only. Does the Epic Games launcher allow you to have a friend connect remotely online to trick the game into thinking you're playing locally, like Steam and PlayStation 4 allow?

My gf and I played through the campaign back in January, when it was available on GamePass (not sure if it still is). It was fun playing together, but I could see online coop being frustrating.

The one thing I don't like about GamePass is you typically don't know when the rotating games are leaving, until less than a month away.

Agree 100% - if you use the phone app you can see what's leaving on the 15th and end of each month and that's not a lot of lead time. I do use the app nearly daily to get some of the M$ rewards things and do check that 'Leaving Soon' part.

I know this one dude put all of the titles on this spreadsheet and that's helpful to a degree, but a longer, better notice of leaving titles would be greatly appreciated, welcomed.

Edit - heh according to that link, it left back in April, was only available for a year.
